Appeal by
the Albanian Helsinki Committee
02.07.2009
The Albanian Helsinki Comittee
experienced with concern the post-electoral
situation created during the past two days, due
to blocking of the vote counting process in some
counties, particularly in the country of Fier.
This situation is incompatible
with the right to vote and the respect for the
will of the people, whose fulfillment represents
the fundamental standards for the conduct of
elections in Albania.
In this context, electoral
subjects should clearly express the right will
to respect these standards, whereas electoral
bodies have the duty to enforce the law and only
the law, with full responsibility. In
particular, the Central Election Commission has
an important role and it should carry out all of
its duties for the administration of this
process until the very end, with objectivity and
credibility.
AHC calls for the completion of
the entire process with the speed, correctness,
and dignity that Albanian voters deserve.
