Today, an effort to illegally seize the Association of Albanian Municipalities took place, acts undertaken by members of the Socialist Party, without any legitimate rights nor members of the Association of Albanian Municipalities. Every move that hides behind a political and arbitrary motive openly undermines rule of law principles and local democracy\u201d, said the mayor of Shkodra <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ademi.voltana\/posts\/2930275620553479\">on a Facebook post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, Ademi recalls that the revision on the legitimacy of the local polls is one of the 15 conditions set by the EU in order to launch accession negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Voltana Ademi is the only mayor in Albania coming from an opposition party. Her predecessor, Valdin Pjetri was sacked from office after the release of some documentation showing that he had been convicted in Italy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/ilva-now\/2021\/05\/31\/panel-analyzes-the-upcoming-decision-of-the-constitutional-court-on-the-legitimacy-of-the-local-elections\/\">Panel analyzes the upcoming decision of the Constitutional Court on the legitimacy of the local elections<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/05\/26\/constitutional-court-to-consider-whether-local-elections-held-in-2019-were-legitimate\/\">Constitutional Court to consider whether local elections held in 2019 were legitimate<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2020\/06\/18\/demolitions-along-the-coastline-mayor-of-shkodra-files-lawsuit-at-prosecution-office\/\">Demolitions along the coastline, mayor of Shkodra files lawsuit at Prosecution office<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Voltana Ademi, mayor of Shkodra, is no longer the president of the Association of Albanian Municipalities after being discharged and replaced with Pjerin Ndreu.
