He also drew attention to the towers built in Tirana, raising concerns about the origin of the money invested in them and the possibility of money laundering.
According to McAllister, a technical government could give citizens hope and greater confidence that elections will be free and fair. He added that it would also reassure civil society, ease the rhetoric surrounding the protests and political tensions, and help bring about peace.
