Albania's legislative elections, scheduled for Sunday, are seen as crucial for assessing the country's democratic maturity and its European future. Prime Minister Edi Rama, leader of the Socialist Party, is seeking a fourth term in office, while Sali Berisha, former president and opposition leader, is seeking a return to power. This is the first time the Albanian diaspora can vote by post. The elections are marred by allegations of corruption and fraud, and Albania's progress towards EU membership is being recognized by EU officials.
