TIRANA, Albania — US Ambassador to Tirana, John L. Withers, said last week to Albanian political parties and electoral officials that it was crucial that the tallying process for the June 28th parliamentary election was conducted in accordance with the Electoral Code.
“The process has to be transparent, professional and not politicized,” Withers said.
