According to the statement, the two ambassadors gave their orders. They stated that the CEC should perform its duty without interference during the election period and focus on implementing the unfulfilled recommendations of the ODIHR.
Kjo pasi ata e shohin zhvillimin e zgjedhjeve të ndershme si process vendimtar për anëtarësimin e Shqipërisë në BE-së.
“Sot, më 5 prill, Ambasadorja e BE-së Christiane Hohmann dhe Ambasadorja e SHBA-së Yuri Kim u takuan me Komisionerin Shtetëror të Zgjedhjeve Ilirjan Celibashi.
Komisioneri Celibashi i informoi ambasadoret mbi përgatitjet e Komisionit Qendror të Zgjedhjeve në prag të zgjedhjeve vendore të 14 majit 2023. Gjithashtu, Komisioneri theksoi përpjekjet e KQZ-së për të garantuar një garë të ndershme, duke përfshirë monitorimin e keqpërdorimit të burimeve shtetërore dhe transparencën për të dhënat financiare.
Dy ambasadoret theksuan se ishte thelbësore për procesin zgjedhor që institucionet si KQZ-ja të lejoheshin ta kryenin punën e tyre pa ndërhyrje dhe se njerëzit duhet të jenë në gjendje të zgjedhin lirisht për kë të votojnë. Ambasadorja Hohmann e lidhi zhvillimin e zgjedhjeve me rrugën e Shqipërisë drejt anëtarësimit në BE.

“Procesi i anëtarësimit të Shqipërisë është duke u zhvilluar dhe ka përfunduar shqyrtimi i grupimit të parë të kapitujve, ku zgjedhjet janë një komponent i rëndësishëm i bazave. Prandaj, do t'i kushtohet vëmendje e shtuar zhvillimit të zgjedhjeve lokale”, tha Ambasadorja Hohmann.
The two ambassadors emphasized the importance of the integrity of the candidates in the elections and having equal conditions for the electoral competitors. They emphasized that the CEC should maintain the credibility and respect achieved so far and focus on the implementation of the unfulfilled recommendations of the ODIHR.
Commissioner Celibashi thanked the EU and the US for their support to the CEC and the election process more broadly. Celibashi particularly appreciated the digital platform financed by the EU for reporting the financing of parties and campaigns, implemented through the Council of Europe", the statement says./ CNA.al
