TIRANA, July 2 – Four days after more than 1.54 million Albanians cast their vote to elect the country's new lkeadership there is still no result who is the winner.

It took more than three days for the ballots to be counted electronically, a new more tiring and longer way but hopefully more transparent.

Still Albanians have understood only that Demcoratic party of Prime Minsiter Sali Berisha is ahead, but without enough seats to claim the creation of the government.

What they are listening to is not results from Central Election Commission but a ahrsh political verbal debate they had thought it was lost somewhere in the years before these elections.

No. Delays in the vote count and stand-offs over breaches of procedure that kept stalling the final tally are expected to negatively influence the monitors’ report the EU will review before considering Albania’s application for candidate status. Feuding over breaches of procedure and nervous standoffs between vote counters and politicians, most of them broadcast live on television, have delayed the count and annoyed Albanians anxious for a final resolution.
