Skender Gjinushi has been re-elected as the head of the Academy of Sciences for a new term. 

In the elections for chairman, Skënder Gjinushi had no rival for the position and received 98% of the votes. 

Sources clarify, among other things, that academics Nestor Thereska and Ardian Civici have proposed Gjinushi for chairman, while the only voice against this procedure followed is academic Artan Fuga. The latter is known to have opposed the procedures that were followed today by the Academy of Sciences, thus paving the way for the reconfirmation of Gjinushi as chairman. 

The elections took place without the presence of the media, in a closed circuit that leaves room for many doubts. We remind you that the draft law that foresees changes in the 2019 law "On the Academy of Sciences" was met with criticism from the opposition and many academics, for the wording related to the mandate of the head of Academy. These changes paved the way for the reconfirmation of Gjinushi at the head of the Academy of Sciences.
