PD and PS discuss preparations for the June elections TIRANA - “An important part of the talks on creating the electoral administration has also been the issue of the rescue committees.” This is what the Secretary General of the PD, Mr. Tritan Shehu, said yesterday at a press conference. Calling the existence of the rescue committees illegal, Mr. Shehu said that these committees may continue their activity only as non-governmental organizations. “Just like political parties, non-governmental organizations must also declare their expenses before the relevant commissions, and this must also be done by the rescue committees,” he said. According to Shehu, so far no data have been presented on who finances these committees, and any kind of expenditure by them runs counter to the law on political parties and non-governmental organizations. Speaking about meetings with representatives of the Socialist Party, Shehu said that the talks have focused on the electoral administration, voter lists and other technical issues. He stressed that the PD wants a proper electoral process in June and that the parties must respect the legal rules. The Socialist Party asks that the socialists discuss organizations and committees that hinder delays in the normal implementation.
