The new parliament resulting from the May 11 elections will convene on September 12, at 10:00.
President Bajram Begaj decreed the date today and said that the Assembly is the symbol of democracy and the space where deputies must dedicate themselves responsibly, and at the same time the place where the voices of all Albanians must be heard and respected.
"The new legislature has the responsibility of continuing reforms, linking the legislative function with the country's priorities and challenges, continuously updating legislation, controlling and overseeing governance, respecting constitutional norms, transparency, constructive discussions, cooperation, and making wise decisions in the service of improving the lives of citizens, the interests and future of the country," said Begaj in his message after decreeing the date of the opening of the Assembly.
He called for a responsible and humble majority and, on the other hand, an active and constructive opposition.
"Dialogue and respect for differences are the foundation of democratic coexistence ," Begaj emphasized in his message.
