EU twinning project in support of the School of Magistrates in Albania
This is the first EU twinning project in support of the School of Magistrates in Albania. Thanks to this initiative, Albanian magistrates will have the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of the French National School for the Judiciary, the Italian School of Magistrates, and the Dutch Training School for Judges and Prosecutors.
The project aims to strengthen the justice system by increasing the skills of Albanian judges and prosecutors.
“Investing in the School of Magistrates means investing in the consolidation of the Justice Reform. Magistrates graduating from this school are the backbone of the judicial system. With their professionalism, integrity, and independence, they have an important role to play on Albania’s path to the EU,” said EU ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, at the ceremony.
For his part, the Albanian Minister of Justice, Ulsi Manja, expressed that the start of the twinning program, funded by the European Union, marks a significant step towards improving the quality of our justice system and raising training standards for new judges and prosecutors. (September 30)
