Albanian justice governing bodies discuss communication strategies and standards for increased transparency and communication with the media and public

CEPEJ Guidelines on communication in the justice sector and key standards on safeguarding freedom of expression and media were in the focus of a seminar organised with twenty representatives of Albanian justice governing bodies.

 

Mentored by two senior Council of Europe experts, the participants were introduced to the principles and practical modalities for effective and transparent communication with the public. Concrete examples were largely based on Article 10 of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and its case law on safeguarding freedom of expression and media while ensuring transparency of the legal institutions toward the public.

The activity was made possible by the collaboration between two joint European Union and Council of Europe Actions, “Freedom of Expression and Freedom of the Media in Albania (JUFREX)” and ”Strengthening the Quality and Efficiency of Justice in Albania (SEJ III)" under the initiative “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022”
