IBAR has now moved from the working group to the group of ambassadors of the European Union member states. This shows that the process is moving forward, with factual and institutional support for every measure on our side. I believe that, at the end of the day, this report, which has assessed our measures, is connected to the results we want to continue seeing from the justice system,\u201d Gogu declared.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1310\" data-end=\"1526\">The minister also addressed the results of a regional survey on justice reform, according to which Albania received three positive evaluations and one negative one related to the backlog of cases within the system.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1530\" data-end=\"2132\">\u201cThe quality of reforms is evaluated in that report. Regarding the justice system and the backlog, yesterday we presented a regional survey which clearly shows the progress of justice reform in Albania. Citizens\u2019 trust has doubled to 53%; the independence of the system has increased by 30%; the reform itself is perceived positively, while negative perception has declined. The negative figure is related to the backlog, because citizens see the system as financially difficult to access. We are seeing the first positive signs of reversing trends in the system and reducing pending cases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2136\" data-end=\"2295\">Gogu also announced the three strategic priorities of the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Ministry of Justice of Albania<\/span><\/span>, which he described as key to Albania\u2019s European integration.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2299\" data-end=\"2640\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">\u201cTogether with the ministry\u2019s leadership team, we have established three strategic priorities. The first is strengthening procedural guarantees and human rights within the justice process; the second is increasing the efficiency of the judicial system; and the third is improving citizens\u2019 access to the justice system,\u201d the minister stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toni Gogu stated that the IBAR process has made significant progress, emphasizing that the report has now moved from the technical level to the group of ambassadors of the European Union member states.
