Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What information they have about arrangements for independent monitoring of the elections in Albania, due on 26th May and 2nd June.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The OSCE Office for Democratic Institutions and Human Rights (ODIHR) is co-ordinating a monitoring mission to observe the Albanian elections. The United Kingdom, as well as Sweden and Italy, is providing a long-term monitor: ODIHR expect 40 short-term observers from the UK, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, Germany, Italy and Denmark. The United States will be providing another 10 as part of their own projects.
