High Inspector of Justice, Mr. Artur Metani welcomed the Ambassador of the European Union in Albania, Ms. Christiane Hohmann.
Congratulating her on the appointment as the Ambassador of EU to our country, Mr. Metani appreciated the help given by the European Union to the HIJ Office in terms of technical assistance through the EURALIUS V mission, for the consolidation of the justice system in Albania, as well as the increase of capacities through CEPEJ, the program for Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Justice in Albania.
High Inspector of Justice, Mr. Metani, made a presentation of the work and results of the HIJ Office during these two and a half years, underlining that in its work to verify disciplinary violations of magistrates, the HIJ is led by the principle of maintaining the balance between the public interest in the administration of justice on the one hand and the independence of magistrates on the other.
Ambassador Hohmann evaluated the results achieved by HIJ in two years and emphasized that the European Union will continue to support the institutions of justice in Albania.
High Inspector of Justice, Mr. Metani and the EU ambassador, Ms. Hohmann shared the opinion that the transformative power of the justice reform will also affect the social mentality and that the membership negotiation process will not simply be a monitoring process, but also a process of cooperation for the development, consolidation and the approach of Albania to European values and standards.
