High Inspector of Justice: Prosecutors must be protected from unfair

Senior Inspector of Justice Artur Metani, accompanied by Deputy Senior Inspector of Justice Elena Pelushi, hosted a meeting with a representative of the Albanian Prosecutors' Association, headed by prosecutor Gëzim Spahiu.

Spahiu acquainted the High Inspector of Justice with the objectives of the association established in December 2025, with the aim of providing a stable and organized structure, which will serve as a reference point for important developments, problems and issues related to the status and function of prosecutors in the Republic of Albania.

The meeting underlined the importance of the independence of prosecutors as a fundamental pillar of the rule of law and democratic governance. It was underlined that prosecutors should exercise their duties free from unlawful influences, fully respecting the Constitution and the laws in force, as an independent prosecutor strengthens citizens' trust in justice and equality before the law.

At the same time, the discussion highlighted that independence must go hand in hand with responsibility, professionalism, integrity, and accountability to citizens and institutions.

Senior Inspector of Justice Artur Metani noted that the balance between independence and accountability is essential. “Prosecutors must be protected from unfair interference, but at the same time held accountable for professional or ethical violations. Only through this balance can a justice system be built that is credible, transparent and in the service of the public interest.”

During the conversation, special attention was also paid to the importance of maintaining and enhancing public trust in the justice system. Both sides agreed that public trust is strengthened through impartial investigations, consistent law enforcement, institutional transparency, and effective communication with the public.

The interlocutors committed to continuing constructive dialogue and cooperation on issues that contribute to strengthening the justice system and advancing the public interest./ CNA
