“The one-year work in the Ministry of Justice was full of challenges and successes. I am convinced that Minister Tahiri will have the support of the Ministry staff, just as I have had so far, in order to meet the Euro-integration agenda, and especially in strengthening the rule of law” said Minister Hoxha.

The new Minister of Justice, Abelard Tahiri, thanked the outgoing Minister of Justice, Ms. Dhurata Hoxha for the work she has done in this Ministry during her term, and congratulated her on her new office as the Minister of European Integration.

Minister Tahiri committed to continue working with high accountability in the area of rule of law, adding that he will work for a judicial independence and an acceleration of the European integration agenda, emphasising the fight against corruption and organized crime as key priorities.
