The European Union Ambassador to Albania, Sofia Moreira de Sousa, has posted on X about a meeting held with the co-chairs of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reform, Damian Gjiknuri and Oerd Bylykbashi.

She writes that the focus of the meeting was the electoral reform process. Ambassador Moreira de Sousa emphasized that the quality of electoral reform is as important as the timing of its implementation.

"The quality of electoral reform is as important as the timing of its implementation."

I held my first meeting with the co-chairs of the Special Parliamentary Committee on Electoral Reform, Damian Gjiknuri and Oerd Bylykbashi.

We discussed the very tight deadline within which the commission is working, as well as issues related to the scope, priorities, and comprehensiveness of the reform.

Electoral reform is about public trust, fair competition, and electoral integrity. It is also part of Albania's journey towards the European Union.

The OSCE/ODIHR recommendations have long been clear and the joint work done so far should now yield results.

"With political will and genuine dialogue from all sides, this is achievable," writes Sofia Moreira de Sousa.
