Genti Xhaxhiu, an integration expert, said in an interview that in the event of Albania's accession to the European Union, the Special Anti-Corruption Structure, or SPAK as it is known for short, would have to "close its shutters." According to him, every special court is closed if you join the union and cases are transferred to regular courts or prosecutors.
" Automatically the collapse of any special court. So any special court or tribunal, or a structure established with a specific objective, on the day of membership will have to close its shutter and these cases should go to ordinary courts, normal courts of criminal jurisdiction, civil jurisdiction, but in this case we are talking about SPAK so we are talking about criminal jurisdiction ," Xhaxhiu said on Klan News.
According to him, the simplest example is Romania. Before integration there was a special court. A few months after the country joined the EU, the special structures were closed and judges and prosecutors were assigned to regular courts and prosecutors' offices.
" Special structures are not something common. I think Albania will not be a "sui generis" case. Before membership, Albania and every other country in the Western Balkans will have to abolish and move the constitution and take it out of the Albanian legal order ," he said.
