State Minister for Public Administration and Anti-Corruption Adea Pirdeni said that the European Union’s Anti-Corruption Directive provides an important roadmap for advancing reforms in the country.

Speaking about discussions held under the EU4GG project, Pirdeni highlighted cooperation between Albanian institutions, European partners, and the European Union Delegation in Albania.

According to her, participants examined how the directive can support reforms in the rule of law, corruption prevention, and alignment with EU standards.

Furthermore, local and international experts shared best practices for identifying corruption risks in vulnerable sectors and strengthening preventive measures.

In addition, the discussions focused on improving reporting mechanisms and increasing institutional accountability.

Pirdeni also stressed the importance of protecting whistleblowers in full accordance with European standards.
