TIRANA, March 17 – Are the two main political parties - governing Democratic Party of Prime Minister Sali Berisha and main opposition Socialist Party of Tirana Mayor Edi Rama - set to resolve the political crises that may cause many problems to the country's integration efforts and more?

If looking at the recent development one could clearly say “NO.”

The two political parties quarrelled again at the parliamentary commission this week. The Democrats made some amendments to the draft law proposed by the opposition, a move that caused the Socialists to leave the room.

The opposition Socialists insist that without recounting a number of ballot boxes the transparency of the June 28 parliamentary election cannot be achieved. The next day the Socialists decided to take part in the parliament's session on Thursday to further debate on the issue, saying they have made an offer and could discuss only if its essence - vote recount - is not excluded.
