Local elections in Albania

The Socialist Party wins most municipalities in Albania's local elections. The opposition accuses the party of electoral fraud.

On 14 May, new mayors and municipal councils were elected throughout Albania. The majority of mayoral posts were won by the Socialist Party of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The coalition "Bashkë Fitojmë" of Sali Berisha and Ilir Meta could only win a few smaller municipalities, the Democrats under Enkelejd Alibeaj none.

Summary of the Policy Brief on Antimicrobial Resistance

Pandemic Accord: An Opportunity to Advance Political Commitment to Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

As world leaders reflect on lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and other global outbreaks to address gaps and improve future responses, current discussions on an international treaty on pandemic prevention and preparedness offer a unique opportunity at a critical time to address the growing public health threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It has emerged as one of the greatest public health challenges of the twenty-first century, threatening the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing number of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses, and fungi that are resistant to the medicines commonly used to treat them.

Ukraine and the Association Agreement: Implementation Monitoring 2014 — 2022

7-й моніторинговий звіт УЦЄП

Допоки не розпочалися переговори про вступ до ЄС, Угода про асоціацію (УА) залишається основним інструментом для секторальної інтеграції України з ЄС. Робота над її виконанням – це основний інструмент подальшого поглиблення співпраці та отримання двосторонніх вигод для України та країн-членів ЄС. Український центр європейської політики (УЦЄП) регулярно публікує моніторинговий звіт про виконання УА, спираючись на оцінки незалежних українських експертів. Актуальний звіт представляє агрегований прогрес у виконанні зобов’язань у всіх секторах, охоплених Угодою про асоціацію, за період 2014-2022 рр.

Ukraine’s Integration into the EU Internal Market in Wartime: Challenges and Opportunities

Policy paper

In 2022, during the escalation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine joined the list of EU candidate countries along with Moldova. The accession process through the current enlargement methodology is a time-consuming process requiring considerable efforts even in peacetime, let alone fulfilling all the requirements during a bloody war when all resources are directed towards the victory. The EU is considering various instruments to support Ukraine in this difficult time, however, for various reasons, it is impossible to skip all the currently required stages of accession to the EU. The possibility of integration into the EU's internal market within certain sectors is currently being considered. The NGO Ukrainian Centre for European Policy has investigated whether such integration could provide quick benefits for Ukraine even before its full-fledged membership.

Ecuador: Muerte Cruzada Keeps President Guillermo Lasso in Office

By using the controversial but constitutional tool of muerte cruzada, President Lasso avoids imminent impeachment and provokes dissolution of Ecuador's National Assembly.

In the early morning of 17 May 2023, shortly before the end of his second year in office and in the context of impeachment proceedings against him for alleged involvement in an embezzlement scandal, President Guillermo Lasso dissolved the Ecuadorian National Assembly by Executive Decree No. 741 due to "a serious political crisis and internal unrest". In the background is a power struggle between the executive and the legislature that has been raging since he took office and which severely limits the governability of the country. The National Electoral Council (CNE) must now set a date for new elections for the presidency and the National Assembly, which must be within a maximum period of six months.
