The European Union and Council of Europe joint action “Strengthening the Efficiency and Quality of Justice in Albania” is supporting the School of Magistrates to improve managerial capacities of the court leadership in Albania. The first regional activity with the court leadership took place in Durres on April 7 and 8th with the participation of twenty-seven court presidents, deputies and chancellors, court administrators, representatives of High Judicial Council, School of Magistrates professors and CEPEJ experts.
The Chairwoman of the High Judicial Council Naureda Llagami and the Head of Council of Europe Office in Tirana Jutta Gutzkow emphasized the important role of the court leadership to improve the administration of justice and meet the public expectations for an accessible, efficient and accountable judiciary.
The workshop provided a good opportunity for the court leadership to jointly focus on the CEPEJ indicators and tools to help the Court Leadership in measuring and improving court performance. Participants exchanged ideas about new practices that contribute to a better management of the court system.
This activity is organized in the framework of the joint EU/CoE Action “Strengthening the Efficiency and Quality of Justice in Albania”, which is part of the joint programme entitled "Horizontal Facility of the Western Balkans and Turkey II", co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe”.
