TIRANA, Albania -- Representatives of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) will assist President Bamir Topi in organising an all-party roundtable to resolve the ongoing political stalemate. Former Deputy President of PACE and Albanian delegation representative Aleksander Biberaj announced the news Sunday (January 31st). The opposition Socialist Party (SP) continues to boycott work by parliament until an investigation is conducted into the June 2009 parliamentary elections, which it claims were marred by violations.
