No signs of consensus in Albanian parliament
19/03/2010
TIRANA, Albania -- The government and the opposition still show no sign of consensus in ending the political stalemate that has gripped the country for months. A parliamentary session on the June 2009 elections started on Thursday (March 18th) and ended after midnight, but failed -- despite high expectations from the international community -- to produce results. The government proposes establishing a parliamentary commission to investigate the elections while the opposition Socialist Party insists on actually opening the ballot boxes where irregularities were reported. The session is expected to continue Friday. (Shekulli, Lajmifundit, Ora News, Top Channel - 19/03/10)
