TIRANA, Dec 7 /ATA/ – Significant achievements in justice reforms, the fight against corruption, and advancements in human rights and democracy convinced the Council of Europe to remove Albania from the list of countries subject to monitoring from the Council of Europe earlier this year, Parliament Speaker Elisa Spiropali said at a meeting with President of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, Theodoros Roussopoulos, on Saturday.

Spiropali and Roussopoulos discussed Albania’s progress in delivering on major reform efforts.

“The rule of law reforms, progress in advancing human rights and democracy, the fight against corruption, regional cooperation and expanded cooperation between Albanian Assembly and PACE enabled Albania to be lifted from the list of countries subject to monitoring from CoE,” Spiropali stated.

Parliament Speaker Elisa Spiropali attended the 141st Plenary Session of the Venice Commission a day ago. Spiropali expressed gratitude to all the members of the leading forum, distinguished legal personalities, known worldwide, for the excellent and constructive cooperation with the Parliament of Albania.

At its yesterday’s session, the Venice Commission reviewed a request from Albania’s parliament to decide if the Constitutional Court can influence how MPs vote.
