More than half a million Albanian citizens have answered to the 12 questions on challenges of the country’s development as part of the National Consultation initiative launched by the government of Albania.

Prime Minister Edi Rama said via a social networking post that “the National Consultation initiative is set to end on March 31 and a total of 513,790 citizens, beyond any expectations, have joined the initiative by providing replies through the three means of communication, namely the online platform www.keshillimikombetar.al, via mail and the recently opened municipal information offices.

The government head said: “Whoever has yet to involve in this process enjoys our understanding and there are few more days for everyone to join the initiative and express their opinions via the platform www.keshillimikombetar.al or via mail.”

PM Rama expressed gratitude to all citizens for taking part in the nation-wide consultation process and invites those who have yet to join in the initiative to express their opinion, learn, cooperate and support each other as citizens.
