On 15 may, the movement MJAFT made a presentation
of the full workings of its project “Ivote.com”
funded by the Open Society (Soros) Foundation. The essence
of the project is the establishment of the internet site www.unevotoj.com
aimed at providing yet another tool to increase interaction
between citizens and the candidates running for Parliament
and subsequently also while they are supposed to bring the
people’s voice in the Albanian Parliament.
Special guests in the promotional event were Pavel Vacek,
OSCE Ambassador to Albania and Ylli Bufi, Deputy Speaker of
the Albanian Parliament. In his speech Mr. Vacek said that
the website will contribute directly to the strengthening
of the three pillars of democracy: participation, transparency
and accountability. On the other side, Mr. Bufi made a number
of suggestions with regard to the continuous updating of the
site, the creation of on-line forums to increase civic participation,
etc. Also attending the meeting were Deputies of Albania’s
Assembly, senior officials of the Government of Albania and
Assembly technical staff, important civil society activists,
journalists, etc.
