Lawyer and teacher Alketa Hyseni has revealed how much the budget is for the population census.

In the show "Opinion" with Blendi Fevziu, he stated that the budget for the census is 17 million euros, which also caused the surprise of the journalist Fevziu.

Hyseni emphasized that the census is very important for a country.

"For religion, the benefits are from the study, doctrinal aspect", Hyseni said.

"In religious matters, there can be no penalties except for countries that connect religion with the state", added the lawyer.

Part of the conversation on the show

Ledian Cikalleshi: No religious community has any economic or any other benefit in relation to the answers that citizens will give. We were concerned that the citizens give the answer of what he is and feels and that the part of the answer is translated exactly, what he feels. It is not that it lowers our percentage, or increases our percentage. We, like religious beliefs, have the same pride, "that we are believers and we are proud of it" and this serves the believer to self-identify.

Ornela Çuçi: Yes, the Albanian state is spending a lot on the Census, a lot of income is wasted.

Blendi Fevziu: How much does Censi cost?

Alket Hyseni: 17 million Euros is the budget.

Blendi Fevziu: How much? 17 million euros to register?

Alket Hyseni: Census is very important for a country. For religion, the benefits are of the study, doctrinal aspect. It is important to clarify one thing, the debate that took place is "to leave it optional or mandatory". In religious matters, there can be no penalties except in countries that connect religion with the state. I appeal to the religious communities, they have been shunned like the political parties in the field. They are not voted on, and people's conviction does not come when they go out on the ground. To clarify the believers in their religious institutions and work with other people to clarify them, but not appear in all the media endlessly, as if a race has started. A good believer is not afraid of these, he declares himself.

Ledian Cikalleshi: We don't have a problem with percentages, it's enough for believers to express what they have in their hearts, there is no problem if the percentage is increased or decreased. It does not translate into material gain. The part that we have raised as a concern is the part of the surveyors who often did not go and only took the names and told you that "there is no problem if I fill in the other part of the data"./ CNA
