Having just arrived from Beirut where he repatriated an Albanian woman and four children trapped in Syria's notorious camp, Prime Minister, Edi Rama emphatically stated that the Parliament would not wait a second for the re-voting of the Electoral Code. 

PM Rama even underlined that this stance has been made clear to the European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighborhood Policy, Oliver Varhelyi, with the latter having urged the Parliament not to approve the Constitutional changes immediately but to wait for Venice Commission's opinion.

"I also clarified to the commissioner in a conversation we had that the Parliament will not wait a second because we have the elections on April 25 and there is no possibility to enter the spiral of an adventure where Ilir Meta invites us, who does not intend to improve the Electoral Code but intends to sabotage this process from its extremist anti-majority and anti-parliament position. 

The Venice Commission is definitely welcome to bring when it matures its opinion, that opinion will be discussed with all political forces and given the time we have available, it will remain to address any issues that may arise beyond 25 April. 

We do not have time to lose and we can not enter into any adventure, I repeat, because the new structures of the election administration have started working and need to have the election law written in black and white, the implementation of the election law takes its necessary time.

Let us not forget that a commitment has been made for biometric identification, the time is extremely tight not to say impossible but we have no reason not to reject Ilir Meta as soon as the time of procedure expires," Rama said.

President of the Republic, Ilir Meta returned to Parliament for reconsideration of the amendments in the Electoral Code, as there was no consensus with the non-parliamentary opposition. President even asked for Venice Commission's opinion regarding this case, for which the Enlargement Commissioner Varhelyi agreed that the Parliament should wait until this opinion is given before it decides to approve the constitutional changes.
