Justice reform remains one of Albania's main challenges on the path towards the European Union.
At a press conference held today, January 12, the EU Ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, emphasized the problems that continue to accompany the justice system, highlighting the shortage of judges, prosecutors and legal assistants.
According to him, the high caseload and empty positions in justice institutions are directly affecting the quality and efficiency of decision-making, while he called for rapid measures to fill them and align Albanian legislation with European Union standards.
"The year ahead is an important year for justice. Justice is very important for all Albanian citizens. We will always support justice in Albania. Judges have a high caseload and I know that this is difficult to produce quality.
"We need more judges and prosecutors, supported by legal assistants. All vacancies must be filled. We have no time to waste. Legal advisors are extremely important for justice to be of higher quality. This is essential for justice reform," said Gonzato.
Gonzato also stated that guarantees are needed for citizens of EU countries who want to invest in Albania.
“In the near future EU citizens may want to set up businesses in Albania, they may want to buy land in Albania, they expect Albania to offer guarantees like any EU member state. This means that you need to be familiar with EU rules. This constitutes an additional challenge in a difficult and complex situation. So our EU justice project will engage with you on these issues.”
Earlier, the head of the Supreme Court, Sokol Sadushi, also spoke at this conference.
During his speech, Sadushi stated that speed without coherence and without sustainable reasoning poses a risk to legal certainty and public trust.
Sadushi said that the quality of justice is also measured by the strength of reasoning, clarity and predictability of decision-making.
"The quality of justice is not measured only by the speed of judgment or the reduction of the caseload, but above all by the strength of reasoning, clarity and predictability of decision-making. Speed is important, but speed without reasoning and coherence becomes a risk to legal certainty. The burden and backlog are realities that we cannot easily avoid. However, justice cannot be measured only by numbers. Statistical indicators are useful, but the main evidence remains the reasoned, understandable and enforceable decision," he stressed.
