President Pleased April 25 Can Serve Democracy, Stability of Albania

It is very important that the election process held on April 25 in Albania has been concluded peacefully and that every vote is counted and administered according to law, said President Ilir Meta in a message addressed to the citizens on Tuesday.
The Head of State considered his major challenge, especially in the last two years, for the Sovereign to freely express his will and for Albania to return to the tracks of the Constitution, parliamentarism and political normalcy.
He stressed that now is the time to conclude the election process calmly and in accordance with the law, and then for everyone to reflect until September, when new institutions are created, stemming from the April 25 vote. Below is the full message of President Meta:
“Dear citizens of the Republic,
On April 25, you expressed your will to elect your representatives in the Albanian Parliament.
In these moments it is very important that this process be concluded calmly and that every vote, from Vermosh to Konispol, be counted and administered according to law.
Until the final result is announced, political parties and their representatives must show prudence and calm.
My major challenge, especially in the last two years, has been for the Sovereign to freely express the will and for Albania to return to the tracks of the Constitution, parliamentarism and political normalcy.
Although alone in front of all the captured institutions, I managed to make April 25 a quiet, peaceful day, without scenes of violence and with your massive participation to exercise the right to vote.
Although it seemed like an impossible challenge, I am happy that April 25 can serve the democracy and stability of the country.
“Now is the time to end the election process calmly and in accordance with the law, and then for everyone to reflect until September, when new institutions are created, stemming from the April 25 vote.”
This is the second message after the elections of President Meta, while it is the first after the result that brings out the SP as winner. /argumentum.al
