TIRANA – EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele expressed his support of the initiatives for dialogue aimed at ending the months of political stalemate in Albania.
Fuele’s spokesperson, Angela Filote, said on Monday that was an opportunity that should not be missed.
The deadlock over the results of the June 2009 general elections has been blocking passage of EU-related reforms and jeopardizing the accession process. The opposition Socialist Party has decided to postpone for a week a fresh round of protests against the government that were due to start Monday.
They are asking investigators to focus on the electoral material used during the vote, a request that will be made official in parliament this week.
Prime Minister Sali Berisha has said he is waiting to see the offer and promised to seriously engage in hopes of a solution.
