TIRANA, June 11 /ATA/ The representatives of the OSCE Presence in Albania had a meeting on Tuesday with representatives from the prosecution, the police, the National Inspectorate of Territory Protection and the Administrative Court, as part of the project of the OSCE Presence “Enhancing environmental governance and security in Albania,” which is financed by Norway, France and Italy.
OSCE presented a draft legal guide on environmental crimes in Albania, crafted to aid legal practitioners, inspectors, prosecutors, and judges dealing with such cases, which was considered by the participants as a very useful instrument in their daily work.
Discussions focused on the project’s highlights for the first half of 2024, which include joint training sessions for 37 law enforcement officers, prosecutors, and environmental inspectors, a national judicial conference with 70 participants, the development of the legal guide and training manual, and a public perception survey. Looking ahead, the project team presented also the action plan for July -December 2024 which will focus on delivering tailored awareness campaign with institutions, youth, schools and CSOs on environmental governance and security.
