The United States Embassy in Tirana has reacted following the appointment of the new Chair of the Constitutional Court, Fiona Papajorgji.

In an official statement, Chargé d’Affaires Nancy VanHorn congratulated Papajorgji and emphasized the United States’ continued support for rule-of-law institutions in Albania.

“Today, Chargé d’Affaires Nancy VanHorn congratulated the newly appointed Chair of the Constitutional Court, Fiona Papajorgji, and discussed how long-term U.S. support for rule-of-law institutions in Albania advances President Trump’s priorities: dismantling drug trafficking networks and creating a level playing field for American businesses,” the statement said.

The U.S. Embassy also underlined the key role of the Constitutional Court in guaranteeing justice and ensuring the functioning of the rule of law.

“The Constitutional Court plays an important role in ensuring justice for the citizens of Albania, holding accountable those who violate the law, and preserving a fair and predictable legal system, so that American businesses can thrive,” the statement further emphasized.
