BY ENTON ABILEKAJ Topalli president or elections without reform It is 16 May. In 10 days comes the 16th anniversary of the famous 26 May, the most discussed voting process in Albania. In addition, it is also the first day of the destruction of free voting and trust in the electoral process. 16 years later the disease has not been cured, electoral reform has remained undone and the doubts about Berisha’s management of the electoral process are the same.

The opposition demands full access to the investigation of ballot boxes in case of suspicion by any party, but this too cannot be accepted by Berisha. Not only because the prime minister’s allergy to transparent and free processes is incurable.

Therefore he was against the maximum punishment for those who disrupted the electoral process... Continues on page 9
