EUCD reactions to the elections in Albania The disinformation that accompanied the initial reactions of the governments and leaders of the European Christian Democratic parties is clearly overturned. Above all, it destroyed the disinformation of EURO-OSCE, which the correspondent of “Voice of America” in Brussels, Ms. Dorit [?], was transmitting on the Albanian radio waves.

This victory, according to these assessments, represented a clear vote against neo-communism and in favor of democratic reforms. In separate statements, leaders of Christian Democratic parties in Europe have stated that the electoral process, although with problems, reflected the will of the majority of Albanians. They described the propaganda pressure on Albania as unacceptable and called for respect for legitimate institutions. Page 6
