27 intellectuals from Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia declared puvlicly that they support Fatos Nano’s candidacy for President, reports albanian informative portal Albeu.com.

The letter of the intellectuals says that by supporting Fatos Nano as candidate for President, a new and positive precedent will be marked for the Albanian democracy: the respect for our political heritage with all its values and problems, but that can serve to the country, the institutions and the Albanian democracy more than the other formulas that produce a president from a closed and limited negotiating process.

They underlined that Fatos Nano fulfills all political and personal criteria for becoming a decent President of the Albanian Republic, since he has the real capacity for being independent, above the parties and for guaranteeing the independent institutions; to separate them from the political games and for making them functional in service to the state, rather than to the parties.


The intellectuals added that during his life, Fatos Nano has established important precedents for a new democracy. In 2005, after loosing the elections, Fatos Nano resignated from the Socialist Party, which was the precedent of renewing the politics in order to open way to political competition in Albania.
