European Union Member States Embassies in Tirana and the EU Delegation welcomed on Monday the 'Amicus Curiae' brief of the Venice Commission regarding the constitutionality of the Vetting Law and its accordance with international conventions.

"We expect that the commitment of all stakeholders to the central role of  the Venice Commission will hold and that its opinion will be duly taken into consideration. An overwhelming majority of Albanian citizens are demanding an independent, professional, impartial and effective judiciary.

We urge all political forces, all relevant State institutions  and all judicial bodies in Albania to start without any more delay the implementation of justice reform," said the short press statement.

Both Embassies declared that progress in this field is essential if the EU accession process is to advance.
