“The European Union attentively followed Sunday’s elections in Albania, and OSCE’s preliminary report. According to this report and the latest developments, the process was accompanied by tensions and polarization between the participating political parties. But a full judgment can be given only after making a final analysis until its end.

This means that we will take into consideration the counting process, their report and the solution of complaints about the electoral process.
