So far, we have not received any requests from the Central Election Commission from Initiative Committees or independent candidates represented by these Initiative Committees to register as such for the elections for the other 5 municipalities," said Celibashi.
Meanwhile, regarding the Municipality of Tirana, the chief commissioner said that the collection of signatures cannot begin due to the Constitutional Court's decision to suspend the president's decree on the date of the elections in the capital.
