HIGH INSPECTOR OF JUSTICE ON A WORKING VISIT TO ROMANIA

High Inspector of Justice Artur Metani started a working visit in Bucharest, invited by Mr. Lucian Netejoru, head of the Judicial Inspectorate of Romania, as part of co-operation launched last November with the European Network Justice Inspection Services.

Mr. Metani met with the Minister of Justice of Romania, Mr. Cătălin Predoiu, with whom he talked about the progress of justice reform in Albania, a similar challenge for both countries, as justice reform was an important condition for Romania’s membership in the European Union 15 years ago.

The High Inspector of Justice praised the role of Romania in supporting the opening of Albania’s accession negotiations with EU, while holding the rotating presidency of the European Union, and said that Romania’s contribution with its experience in justice reform within the EU membership process, would be valuable for Albania.

Mr. Metani also talked about issues of justice reform and the Romanian experience during a meeting with the chairwoman of the Romanian Senate Committee on Legal Affairs, Mrs. Laura-Iuliana Scânte.
