100th anniversary of Albanian Justice



09/05/2013

The former Ministers of Justice joined in a celebration organized by the Justice Ministry for the 100th anniversary of the Albanian judiciary system.

But although among the guests there were the descendants of Ministers during the government of Ismail Qemali, two ministers after the year 2000 were absent: Fatmir Xhafa and Ilir Rusmali.

The incumbent Minister declared that every Minister, regardless his political affiliation, has only wanted the improvement of the justice system in Albania.

“All justice ministers in different governments have faced their challenges with good will and courage, with the only goal to constantly improve the justice system”, declared the Minister of Justice, Eduard Halimi.

Spartak Ngjela, the former Justice Minister in the Government of National Reconciliation, of 1997, was skeptic and declared that Albania still doesn’t have independent judges.

“It’s 100 years of injustice. Probably not all of it is like that, but for the period that I have known it is 45 years of violation and offense made by the Albanian justice to its people, and the justice of the last 20 years has only played with its people”, Ngjela declared.

The Ministry opened the doors for the citizens during this celebration, and the culmination will be on May 10th.

The Prosecutor General took advantage from this occasion to say that the mission of everyone is to place his own brick of contribution in the justice building.

“There are problems for as long that there are elemtents prone to challenge the public opinion and the citizens safety. For this reason I wanted to give a message to the new generation, and tell them to be critical against the current system”, declared the Prosecutor General, Adriatik Llalla.
