For example, asset declarations, the anti-mafia law, and lastly, the vote of the citizens\u201d, Gjiknuri said.<\/p>\n<p>Regarding another request posed by Democrats on bilateral discussions about extending the mandate of the vetting organs, and amends on electoral and territorial reform, Gjiknuri sees it as \u201cunachievable\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese issues should not be combined. Why? Firstly, because the judicial vetting is an agreement reached a long time ago, and now it is a constitutional norm that has emerged after the expiration of a deadline to which all sides have agreed. As for other issues that have recently emerged for various political needs, I think we need to look at the current legal framework. I am not against negotiating. Everything can be talked over, of course\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>For Gjiknuri, the entire process could be hampered if they don\u2019t succeed in extending the mandate of the vetting organs.<\/p>\n<p>Asked on the special commission for the electoral reform, after being proposed as co-chair from the Socialists, Gjiknuri declared that it is important to discuss ahead of the OSCE\/ODIHR recommendations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/10\/27\/helsinki-committee-asks-parties-to-consult-venice-commission-on-political-vetting-and-more\/\">Helsinki Committee asks parties to consult Venice Commission on Political Vetting<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/10\/21\/constitutional-reform-us-ambassador-calls-on-parliament-to-extend-vetting-term\/\">Constitutional Reform, US ambassador calls on Parliament to extend vetting term<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/programs\/now\/2021\/10\/20\/kodheli-on-vetting-for-politicians-it-should-apply-to-all-political-actors-in-the-last-30-years\/\">Kodheli on politician vetting: It should apply to all political actors in the past 30 years<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Damian Gjiknuri expressed reservations when asked about the initiative proposed by the Democratic Party to vet politicians.
