The CEPEJ organised an exchange between the President of the European Network of Justice Inspections (RESIJ) and Chief of the General Inspection of Justice of France Mr Christophe Straudo, and the High Inspector of Justice of Albania, Mr Artur Metani, on 1 - 2 June 2023 in Tirana (Albania). They discussed key challenges of their institutions to ensure that judges and prosecutors uphold high professional standards in delivering justice. They have also met the Minister of Justice, the representatives of the Supreme Court and of the High Judicial and Prosecutorial Councils, the School of Magistrates as well as with the Parliament of Albania.
In parallel, two inspectors of the General Inspection of Justice of France, Mr Jean-Louis Daumas and Ms Marjorie Obadia, have trained 38 members of the High Inspector of Justice in Albania on thematic missions of the inspection (for example, missions of information, expertise and advice and missions of evaluation of public policies), during which relevant French and European experiences were presented. The training module was the third of the series of trainings on European judicial inspection practices delivered in cooperation with RESIJ (based on the Training Needs Assessment developed by the Action).
The activity was organized by the action Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Justice in Albania (SEJ IV) in the framework of the European Union/Council of Europe joint programme Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye (Horizontal Facility III), co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe.
