President Frécon welcomed the reform of the Electoral Code, also currently in progress, and hoped that a consensus would be reached in this regard among the country’s main political forces. “The Congress will be particularly attentive to changes in the legislation governing local and regional elections in Albania as there can be no true democracy without free and fair elections,” he said.
