TIRANA, Nov 11 /ATA/ – Justice Minister Toni Gogu held meetings in Rome with Italian institutional representatives to strengthen judicial cooperation between Albania and Italy, focusing on shortening court proceedings and reducing costs.
During a visit to the Italian Senate, Gogu met with Maurizio Gasparri, chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee, thanking him for the ratification of the Strategic Cooperation Agreement between the two countries.
The talks also addressed Italy’s experience in putting assets confiscated from organised crime to use for the benefit of local communities.
Gogu also met with Stefano Mogini, co-president of the Court of Cassation, to discuss harmonising judicial practice and digitising court rulings. According to Gogu, the process is led by the courts themselves, with support from the Ministry of Justice.
In a separate meeting with Ciro Maschio, chairman of the Justice Committee of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, discussions focused on reforms aimed at speeding up court proceedings, cutting costs and ensuring swifter access to justice for citizens.
“Italian experience can help turn these discussions into concrete solutions in Albania as well,” Gogu said in a social media post.
