  • CSCE Report on Albania's Parliamentary Elections of 1997
    COMMISSION ON SECURITY AND COOPERATION IN EUROPE 234 FORD HOUSE OFFICE BUILDING WASHINGTON, DC 20515(202) 225-1901 ALBANIAS PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS OF 1997 Prepared by the Staff of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe July 1997 This report is based on the observations of two staff advisors of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (the Helsinki Commission) deployed as short-term election observers in Albania for the June 29 elections. One observed the elections from Elbasan, the other from Saranda. The Commission wishes to thank the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly and the Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights for organizing their visit, and to the Greek, Italian and Romanian military units deployed in the field as part of the Multilateral Protection Force which facilitated their security. For additional Commission information on previous elections and other developments in Al- bania, see: Briefing on Albania: Finding a Way Out of the AbyssMay 1997 Briefing on the Controversial Albanian ElectionsJune 1996 Report on the Albanian Parliamentary Elections of 1996June 1996 Hearing on Challenges to Democracy in AlbaniaMarch 1996 Report on Albanias Second Multi-Party ElectionsApril 1992 Hearing on Democratic Developments in AlbaniaMay 1991 Report on the Elections in AlbaniaApril 1991 SUMMARY As a proposed solution to the profound political crisis which gripped the country, Albania held new elections in June and July 1997 for 155 seats in its unicameral parliament, the National Assembly. These were the fourth parliamentary elections in Albania since the collapse of the one-party Communist state in December 1990, and were held just over a year since the last elections, which were considered highly irregular and contributed to the crisis of authority throughout most of 1997.
