The Constitutional Court has ruled that elections will not be held in Tirana, overturning President Begaj's decree. It has also ruled that Erion Veliaj will continue to remain mayor of Tirana, even though he has been in prison for several months.
It is learned that the decision-making of the panel of judges was 5-3 in favor of overturning the Government's decision dismissing the mayor of Tirana, following the proposal made by the Tirana Municipal Council.
With this decision, the decree of President Bajram Begaj setting the date of the elections in Tirana is also canceled.
