TIRANA, Nov. 21 – Opposition Socialist Party has made a request for a motion of Prime Minister Sali Berisha on the last progress report of the European Union.

That report deserves a serious debate in the parliament to answer all the issues on the country’s management, including justice, rule of law, corruption which exist here, said Socialist parliamentary group head Valentina Leskaj.

The EU made it clear to Albania that the country should fulfill all that is required in the Stabilization and Association Agreement it has signed a year ago, specifically mentioning the fight against organized crime and corruption, reform in the judiciary and the electoral system and improving the administration.
