The parliamentary commission tasked to probe into the actions of President Ilir Meta during the legislative polls is set to convene today, meanwhile, the President flew to Slovenia to attend the tenth anniversary of the Brdo-Brijuni Process.
This will be the commission’s third meeting, while today it is expected to appoint Artan Spahiu as its legal expert and communicate the responses of the several institutions, including that of the Special Anti-Corruption Structure, Audiovisual Media Authority, and Municipality of Tirana.
Led by Socialist MP Alket Hyseni, the commission was established on May 7, after 49 MPs signed a petition to roll out an investigation against the Albanian president over his alleged unconstitutional behavior during the electoral campaigns, namely siding with the opposition and declarations inciting violence.
The president, who had already requested to be summoned at the Parliamentary Committee on Legal Affairs even before the latter recommended the establishment of the inquiry commission, is invited to have his say before MPs on May 18.
The head of state will hold a speech at the Brdo-Brijun Summit in Slovenia as well as meet with his counterparts.

The Brdo-Brijun Process is a multilateral gathering of Western Balkan head of states, held for the first time in 2010-2011 by the then premiers of Slovenia and Croatia – both EU member states – Borut Pahor and Jadranka Kosor, and then continued by the successors and extending to other head of states, namely Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Kosovo, North Macedonia, and Albania.
In 2014, German chancellor Angela Merkel merged these series of multilateral meetings in the so-called Berlin Process, aimed at strengthening regional cooperation and facilitating EU integration.
