In the fourth round of voting, of the 103 deputies who attended, Begay’s candidacy was supported by 78, four opposed, and one abstained. There are 140 representatives in the Albanian Parliament.
Prior to the vote, the current president of Albania, Ilir Meta, released Begay from his position as chief of the General Staff by decree and removed him from active service in the armed forces. The law took effect immediately.
As head of state, Begay will be the supreme commander of the armed forces. In addition, he will have the right to nominate three of the nine members of the country’s constitutional court.
Begay’s candidacy for the presidency was presented by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. Begay will take office on July 24, when the current president’s five -year term ends.
The Pasha-Liman naval base could be “added value” for the Alliance, they say in Albania.
It was previously reported that the Albanian government had offered a naval base for NATO. We are talking about the base of Pasha-Liman, located 180 kilometers south of Tirana.
