The international observation mission has criticized the lack of meaningful choice in the local elections in Albania, which the opposition boycotted, saying the ballot was held with little regard to the interests of the electorate.
The International Observation Mission of OSCE/ODIHR, which came to observe the disputed local elections held on Sunday, said the near complete absence of opposition participation in the polls meant that the elections involved no meaningful choice.
In a preliminary report presented in Tirana on Monday, the mission said the elections were held “with little regard for the interests of the electorate”.
