When the limits of time for the approval of the judicial reform is coming to an end another appeal cοmes from US Ambassador in Tirana, Donald Lu.
In a letter directed to members of the majority and the opposite in the Albanian Parliament, Lu appeal if their political leaders fail to reach consensus, they must be independent on July 21 and must vote on justice reform.
Donald Lu: It's time to take a decision, the vote is scheduled on July 21. There is still time for leaders to find a compromise supported by the opposition and the majority. If political leaders do not want consensus, we urge you to vote for the reform.Lu reminds to Members of Parliament that the political interference in the justice system threatens the Albanian society and weaken the alliance between Albania and USA.
Donald Lu: US is a strategic ally of Albania. Political influence in your justice system threatens the Albanian society and weakens our alliance. As a NATO ally, it is a US national interest that Albania remains a strong and secure democracy.
