Paragraph 40
 

As a starting point, it is necessary to examine why the Constitution assigns the power to fix the date of elections to the President of Albania and not to another body. This is due to the neutral position that the Albanian Constitution assigns to the President of the Republic both as “the Head of the State” and as the organ that “represents the unity of the people” (Article 86).
