Diaspora vote, Berisha: Biometric documents from other countries should be

The Democratic Party has clear demands to facilitate voting for Albanians living abroad.

President Sali Berisha, during a media conference, explained that the Central Election Commission should add operators for the requests of voters from abroad, writes A2 CNN.

According to him, another problem that needs to be solved is the acceptance of registration with biometric documents in the countries where Albanians live.

"The fundamental issue that remains here is this, the acceptance of biometric documents from other countries. There is a hesitation from the socialists, because for absurd reasons, the biometric documents of EU member states, now is the time for biometrics, cannot be put into question in an absolute way by the Albanian authorities," said Berisha.

Regarding the possibility of changing the deadlines for registering parties and candidates, Berisha stated that they are still not convinced whether they should vote on this issue.

"Their movement does not constitute a major problem, but it only needs to be justified. We need to be convinced why they are required. Some deadlines tell us that international mail dictates them. So we are studying these proposals before deciding," Berisha said.

There was a response to all Democratic Party officials who have spoken out against the holding of primaries.

"There is a DP statute that is above me, that statute was voted unanimously. I am not the statute, I am the person who will implement the statute," the leading democrat further added.

Again, there was no date for when the internal Democrats' race will take place, as everyone is already focused on the diaspora vote. (A2 Televizion)
