Parliament Speaker TalatXhaferi will schedule local elections on August 6, which are set to take place on October 17, 2021 in accordance with the law.
Previously, political parties all agreed on holding the next local elections on October 17th.
“Mayors and municipal councilors have a four-year term. Since the 2017 local elections took place on October 15, it means their terms end by October 17 this year, which cannot be prolonged in line with the law and the Constitution, only in the event of state of emergency or martial law, said Xhaferi.
