11 October, 16:16
(ANSA) - TRIESTE, 11 OCT - Against the background of the
impeachment procedure against the Albanian President Ilir Meta -
accused of having postponed local elections beyond the electoral
mandate of local authorities -, the Council of Europe
constitutional experts of the Venice Commission have concluded
"that while the President may have acted beyond his
constitutional powers, there are indications that his acts may
not have been of a nature justifying impeachment," the Council
of Europe said in a statement today. The opinion of the Venice
Commission had been requested by Albanian Assembly Speaker
Gramoz Ruci.
In a second opinion on Albania, the Venice Commission called
also for the re-examination of a draft law on immovable property
rights, which "lacks clarity and precision," the Commission
noted. (ANSA).
