Representatives of the Constitutional Court and the High Court of Albania attended the 11th session of the Superior Courts Network (SCN), held in Strasbourg on 4–5 June 2026. Ela Elezi, representing the Constitutional Court, and Emirijam Ahmetaga, representing the High Court, joined judges and legal professionals from across the Council of Europe members to exchange experiences and discuss the role of superior courts in the effective implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Created by the European Court of Human Rights in 2015, the Superior Courts Network is a unique platform for judicial dialogue that assists domestic courts throughout Council of Europe members in the application and interpretation of the Convention. The annual meeting provides an important opportunity for members to strengthen co-operation, share best practices, and discuss current challenges facing European judiciaries. Over the years, the Superior Courts Network has become a key mechanism for promoting subsidiarity and strengthening the relationship between superior courts and the European Court of Human Rights.

The participation of the Albanian courts in this forum is supported by the Action "Improving the protection of the right to property and facilitating the execution of ECtHR judgments in Albania (D-REX III)", which aims to enhance judicial capacities and promote the effective implementation of European human rights standards. The Action is part of the joint European Union and Council of Europe "Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Türkiye".
