Support to freedom of expression and freedom of the media in Albania: Grant agreements signed with Albanian partners

The joint European Union/Council of Europe action “Freedom of Expression and Freedom of the Media in Albania (JUFREX)” will be collaborating through grants with four Albanian partners: the School of Magistrates, the Bar Association, the Albanian Media Council, and Res Publica. 

The action under the “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey 2019-2022” is to support activities that will strengthen the application of standards of Article 10 of ECHR and the jurisprudence of ECtHR in Albanian courts and contribute towards a media environment which is safer and more pluralistic, while upholding professional and ethical standards.

The grant agreements will cover the period May 2020 to May 2022 and represent a continued and fruitful co-operation of the project from previous phase with these partners.

Through an all-inclusive approach JUFREX 2 in Albania combines legal and institutional assistance with capacity building and dialogue of relevant actors in the country in support of freedom of expression and media.

This action is part of the “Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey II”, a co-operation initiative co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe and implemented by the Council of Europe, that enables the Beneficiaries to meet their reform agendas in the fields of human rights, rule of law and democracy and to comply with the European standards, including where relevant within the framework of the EU enlargement process.
