Albanian Premier Edi Rama has sent a public invitation for dialogue to the opposition leaders, which he has defined in his letter as a non-parliamentarian opposition.

Rama addressed his invitation to Lulzim Basha, chairman of the Democratic Party; Monika Kryemadhi, chairwoman of the Socialist Movement for Integration; and to the chairmen of smaller opposition allies Nard Ndoka, Vangjel Dule, Agron Duka, Dashamir Shehi, and Fatmir Mediu.

“I am addressing you publically in my effort to create a space of dialogue and interaction among us, in respect of a common challenge of national importance that is the electoral reforms”, Rama writes.

“Our contradictions in the political aspects are known…. however, beyond the extremities of our differences we have neither chosen one another nor can we undo the existence of one another. So, we are condemned to co-exist despite of the mutual disliking as long as a third party, the electors, gave to some of us representation mandates to govern and to some others the mandate to make the opposition”.

“I’d like to invite you to meet and discuss about a common challenge, at any time and place that is convenient to you, of course in case you are interested in being involved in this process. Without conditions!”
