After the request of the CEC that all expenses of the Diaspora vote, i.e. sending and returning, be covered by the Albanian state, Celibashi underlined that the government has defined an item in the budget for this process, but an intervention in the Electoral Code is necessary.

Celibashi explained: "For the postal service, we have had talks with the government and the ruling party, that for at least this process, the cost of the delivery and arrival of the mail in Albania will be paid by them. And it seems that we agree on this, since in the budget approved a few days ago in the Parliament, the budget for the postal fee, both for sending and for return, has been made available.
