TIRANA, Dec 4 /ATA/ At the 8th international conference on criminal justice held in Tirana on Saturday, the Albanian criminal lawyers voiced their support for the “Open Balkan” initiative.

In his remarks at the event, the President of the Association of Criminal Lawyers, Saimir Vishaj said that “even the lawyers should be part of ‘Open Balkan,’ so each one of them will have no barriers and restrictions in their work. This initiative enables the respected professors or the chairman of the bar association of North Macedonia to defend the criminal case in Tirana without any barriers. Even the lawyer from Prizren can come to Kukës, when he is only 10 km away ”.
While the head of the Alliance “Kosova e re” Pacolli said that “although my government in Kosovo does not accept and rejects this initiative, even though Montenegro has not understood it correctly and is not part of this right initiative, in my opinion it is the right one. “We need it.”
During the conference, the lawyers requested some legal changes over the rights of suspects in law cases. They also proposed that vacancies in justice institutions, including the judiciary, be filled even by experienced criminal layers.
