The President of the Republic and chairman of the High Council of Justice, Bujar Nishani, on Friday delivered an open lecture at the Law Faculty of Tirana University, at the start of the new academic year, on the theme: “The justice system, challenges and prospects on the path of EU integration”.
Touching upon the reform in the judiciary as one of the key recommendations of the five priorities imposed not only in the Progress Report on Albania, but also as a real priority of potentials and needs of the Albanian society, Nishani said that the reform in the judiciary requires a wide and very deep intervention, and inclusion of all professionals’ opinion, especially from the academic world”.
He stressed that the process of reform in the justice system necessarily requires inclusiveness, and called for the instant involvement in this process of the experts’ opinion, of people who come specifically from Law schools, legal and academic communities, professors, lecturers, dealing daily with system problems.
The Head of State considered as unacceptable the proposed constitutional limitation that any amendment of the fundamental law cannot be brought for interpretation before the Constitutional Court.
He did not also agree on the constitutional prohibition of establishing special courts. “They may be necessary regarding organized crime and corruption at top levels of State and government”, he further specified..
