Topi says elections key test for Albania’s transition from past to future

TIRANA, Albania – Running democratic elections that comply with international standards will be the best way for Albania to divide its historic and political past from the future, President Bamir Topi said on Monday (March 30th).

The June 28th general elections will be Albania’s first major test after becoming a NATO member later this week, Topi told a forum in Tirana.
