The point is that the composition should be one that would reflect the political subjects that have emerged from the last 2017 parliamentary elections, as Article 67, dot, Article, paragraph b, this table does not refer to such a thing are also involved in other political subjects, which have been part of the same coalitions or lists in recent elections, I understand that in specific cases of particular circumstances there may be exceptions, but the rule should be to have such composition of“, the Elements said.

The reconciliation with Rrustemin was also Sami Hamiti, a member of the CEC from the LDK, who voted against this proposal.

We've been trying to have a full reconciliation among the members we have here and represent political subjects. We should say that we have not had reconciliation in the sense of the formula, specifically the law defines that subjects that have emerged from the national elections of 2017, which belong to the majority and that pass the threshold that are three subjects who have the right to be represented with absolutely no harm to any political subject, but the law correctly defines “, he said.
