TIRANA, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Some three months after Albania's general elections of June 25, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) released Friday its final report with recommendations which were welcomed by Albania's central elections body (CEC).
Speaking at a press conference, head of elections body Klement Zguri said: "The OSCE report states CEC managed to deliver its tasks and praises our transparency."
Zguri said the report was not an award for any of the political players in Albania, considering it a guideline for future elections.
"The CEC will seriously consider any feedback as a priority of its agenda, in order to analyze the problems faced during the electoral process and to draft a package of proposals to find efficient solutions," he said.
In the OSCE report, vote buying, campaign financing and media coverage were identified as the main election problems.
Meanwhile, establishment of a task force following the May 18 agreement between Edi Rama and Lulzim Basha was positively seen by observers from the OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR).
The ODIHR mission prepared 23 recommendations, mostly related to the electoral reform currently being discussed by political parties here.
