He stressed that strengthening the implementation of Convention standards at the national level remains essential for building the rule of law in Albania.

Moreover, Gogu underlined that respect for human rights standards forms an integral part of Albania’s European integration process.

According to the minister, improving the application of these standards will help strengthen democratic institutions and bring the country closer to European Union membership.

In addition, the participants exchanged views on Albania’s justice reform process and shared experiences related to ongoing legal and institutional changes.

As a result, the meeting reaffirmed Albania’s commitment to strengthening the rule of law, protecting fundamental rights, and advancing reforms in line with European standards.
