The warning is this: If the government sticks to the deadline to announce it in June, the EU institutions will not recognize the Census done in Albania, dictating the cancellation and repetition under their supervision...
The census conducted in Albania seems to be a routine process every 10-12 years; but for the EU institutions that lead the integration process, the reality and accuracy of the number of the population, economic data, other social indicators and the composition of the population, are of great importance.
According to the information that "Pamphlet" has, the Council of Europe and EUROSTAT have reacted to INSTAT's decision to publish the Census data at the end of June 2024, when this process was closed on November 15, 2023.
"Protocol-Standardi 2010", related to the deadline set by EUROSTAT for censuses in countries outside the EU, defines as an obligation of each country, that the data be published within 1 month after the process is closed.
In Albania, the results of the Census should have been published on December 15, 2023, but the Director of INSTAT, Elsa Dhuli, stated that they will be published within the month of June 2024, with the justification that "data recording and processing requires a lot of time and technicality".
Director INSTAT, has not made up her mind about postponing the publication for 6 months; but he declared the order given by Prime Minister Edi Rama, who reports directly to him.
The scheme of postponing the deadline was made to extend the time of the announcement of the result, with the aim of falsifying the data that came out of the Census, recording those data that are of interest to the government and the personal politics of the Prime Minister.
What interests the chief is the concealment of the actual number of the population that has left the country during the period between Census-2011 and Census-2023, where the largest number of nearly 700 thousand people belongs to the last 8 years that is in SP power.
But after the official statement that the director of INSTAT made for the postponement of the deadline for the announcement of the Census results, the Council of Europe and EUROSTAT reacted jointly, asking the Albanian government not to delay the publication of the data.
They have given Prime Minister Edi Rama an ultimatum to order INSTAT, as a government structure, to publish the results of the Census by February 15, 2024, reflecting the factual data, especially the number of the population, the composition-percentages of minorities and the number of businesses.
If Rama rejects this ultimatum of KiE and EUROSTAT, not publishing the data by February 15, the EU institutions warn that the Census will not be recognized, while the Albanian government will be forced to repeat this process and will be supervised by them.
As an example, they mention the Census done in Montenegro, where the process started on December 3, 2023, while the results were announced on January 3, 2024; so, within 1 month.
The model and technology of conducting the Census by the Statistics Authority of Montenegro (MONSTAT) were the same as the model and technology used in Albania; but by order of the Prime Minister, INSTAT will publish the results in June 2024 with a delay of 6 months.
As it seems, the figures did not come out as much as Babloku declared, in order to hide the actual departure of the population; although INSTAT, after receiving the data from the TIMS system, also registered 343,000 Albanian immigrants who came for the end-of-year holidays and left again./ Pamphlet
