The Charge d'Affaires of the US Embassy in Tirana, DAVID WISNER, says during the interview for the newspaper "Panorama", that a free press is essential for any democracy.

" Albanian voters elect their officials and representatives in the Parliament.

That is why elections are so important in a democracy. Political parties also have a responsibility to ensure that they field candidates who deserve the public's trust and who will serve the best interests of their constituents. A strong, vibrant opposition, an active and vigilant civil society, as well as a free and independent press are all essential in any healthy democracy" , he emphasized.
