On 17-19 December, the Department for the Execution of Judgments carried out a mission to Tirana to discuss and promote various aspects related to the implementation of the European Court’s judgments pending against Albania.
The delegation met with the Deputy Minister of Justice, the Prime Minister’s Office, the State Advocate’s Office, and representatives from the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Finance, the High Judicial Council, the General Directorate of Prisons as well as from the relevant local institutions.
The discussions focused on the status of execution, current challenges and possible ways forward in cases pending before the Committee of Ministers, notably regarding the length of judicial proceedings (Luli and Others group), protection against ill-treatment (Strazimiri case), discrimination in schools (X and Others), and protection of property (Shaxhi and Others).
The need for strengthening Albania’s domestic capacities to execute the Court’s judgments was highlighted. The Deputy Minister of Justice emphasised Albania’s strong commitment to implementing these judgments, which is a high priority in the newly adopted Intersectoral Justice Strategy (2024-2030) and crucial for the country’s EU integration process.
The delegation further met with the Ombudsperson and the Albanian Anti-discrimination Commissioner as well as with representatives from civil society to discuss the cases under supervision and increase their awareness on their role in this process.
Finally, the Department’s delegation exchanged with representatives of the Council of Europe Office in Tirana on cooperation activities and assistance provided to the authorities for the execution of the Court’s judgments, and also with the EU Delegation to Albania.
The mission was organised in close cooperation with the State Advocate’s Office and the Council of Europe Office in Tirana.
