The International Monitoring Mission (IMO) was abolished by Prime Minister Edi Rama. Will the US and EU Ambassadors continue to remain silent?

The chairman of Socialist Movement for Integration (SMI) parliamentary group, Petrit Vasili appealed to the US and EU ambassadors through this press release on Tuesday to react over majority�s disregarding attitude toward IMO.

�IMO is a crucial element in the judicial reform implementation, a process aimed to restore citizens� confidence on the justice. The inclusion of international factor in this process is enabled by the Constitution. But, in spite of this fact, Prime Minister Edi Rama and his blind kamikazes overruled and disregarded IMO by placing on top of the lists the candidates disqualified by this mission. Their names will now be presented to the parliament as candidacies for the new bodies of judicial system.

IMO was the only warranty that induced confidence on the Albanian citizens after the innumerable promises of US Ambassador Donald Lu and EU Ambassador Romana Vlahutin. I was one of those who believed and voted in favor of the judicial reform. Mine was the fifth vote needed for the reform to be presented in parliament.

IMO was thrown away by Premier Rama along with reform�s integrity. The judicial reform lost definitively its morality. Will Lu and Vlahutin continue to remain silent? They have shown in many cases a great ability to react instantly. Time has come to react and rescue the maimed and disintegrated judicial reform,� declared Vasili.
