The conference, organised by the Directorate General of Human Rights and Legal Affairs, in co-operation with the Supreme Court of Serbia, the Serbian Ministry for Foreign Affairs and the Council of Europe office in Belgrade, gave rise to an in-depth exchange of views on national experiences, the progress made and the challenges still to be faced with regard to an effective implementation of European human rights standards within Council of Europe member states. The role of the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights as a guiding tool for Supreme Courts and national judicial systems was highlighted. The subsidiary character of the European Convention on Human Rights was emphasised during the conference, along with the role of national judges in making the protection of human rights a reality at national level. Finally, the par- ticipants also stressed the need for an independent and qualified judiciary. Regional conference, Belgrade, 20-21 September 2007 7 Opening of the Conference Vida Petrović-Škero President of the Supreme Court of Serbia Esteemed judges, ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, good day and wel- come. The Supreme Court of Serbia is honoured to have organised this conference, together with the Council of Europe, as part of Serbia’s activities relating to its chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. We expect this meeting to contribute to the development and improvement of co- operation between the countries and Supreme Courts of the region and to the achievement of European goals: respect for human rights, the establishment of the rule of law and the development of democracy. By organising a meeting of this significance, the judiciary of our country has proved its commitment to the fundamental values, standards and norms of the Council of Europe and con- firmed its willingness to contribute to their full observance at the national, re- gional and international levels. Member states are striving to define the frameworks, methods and contents of their mutual co-operation and European integration within the framework of the Council of Europe and on the basis of equality and mutual respect. We expect that during the conference the participants will exchange experiences and views on certain legal topics, problems and their possible solutions and that they will make arrangements for their further co-operation. The Republic of Serbia, as a signatory to the Convention on Human Rights, has pledged to ensure respect for the rights and freedoms laid down in the Con- vention. These values form the basis of democracy in any society and constitute the foundations of justice and peace in the world. A greater unity among the members of the Council of Europe and better co-operation at the regional level will ensure greater efficiency in the implementation of the provisions of the Con- vention. In each individual country as well as at the regional and European levels, the judiciary plays the most important role in promoting the implementation of 8 The role of Supreme Courts in the domestic implementation of the ECHR the Convention on Human Rights. The Supreme Court of every country has the role to encourage other courts to reach an adequate level of human rights pro- tection and provide them with guidelines for the implementation of the provi- sions of the Convention. In order for the judiciary to be able to carry out this task, it is necessary for the state to ensure conditions for continuing education, for raising the level of skills and expertise of judges for the implementation of the Convention and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. Countries in transition are faced with a serious task with regard to harmonis- ing their domestic practices with international and European standards in all areas, including the improvement of human rights protection. If all three branches of government do everything they can within their purview to ensure conditions for the implementation of a mechanism for the effective protection of the rights of citizens in judicial proceedings, the results and progress will be assured. A good assessment of obstacles to the effective implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights and correctly selected mechanisms for overcoming those obstacles will also improve the quality of the protection of the rights of citizens and the trust they place in the courts. Continuing co-operation with European institutions, notably the Council of Europe, will help us too to overcome the difficulties we are facing at the moment and to fulfil our obligation to adopt and implement European standards as best we can. The Supreme Court of Serbia and the judiciary of our country are ready to in- crease the effectiveness of implementation of the Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights.

Dr. Arber Gjeta Lawyer, Professor of Business Law, Department of Law, Faculty of Economics, Aleksander Xhuvani University of Elbasan, Rruga Rinia, 3000 Elbasan, Albania Dr. Juliana Bylykbashi Lecturer of Civil Law, Department of Civil Law, Faculty of Law, University of Tirana, Rruga Milto Tutulani, Tirana, Albania Doi: 10.36941/mjss-2020-0009 Abstract The transport legislation in Albania has a character of specialty. Through this paper we aim to offer an analysis of the Albanian legal provisions on transport contract according to the Civil Code. This study will deal with the contract of transport of goods. The analysis of the contract will be in a historical, empiric and doctrinal point of view on the regulation offered by the Civil Code and the similarities to the Italian Civil Code. The actual regulation of the contract of transport in Albania is relatively new and there are only a few claims brought into courts that make very difficult a deep analysis of the implementation the legislation. The lack of causes brought into courts mainly has to be recognized to the arbitration clauses in favor of foreign arbitrators as for the transport of goods by sea or the solution on transaction basis as well as, regarding Civil Code provisions, the camouflage of the contract of transport with other types of contracts.

    UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT VOLUNTARY PEER REVIEW OF COMPETITION LAW AND POLICY: ALBANIA UNITED NATIONS CONFERENCE ON TRADE AND DEVELOPMENT VOLUNTARY PEER REVIEW OF COMPETITION LAW AND POLICY: ALBANIA Full Report UNITED NATIONS New York and Geneva, 2015 NOTE UNCTAD serves as the focal point within the United Nations Secretariat for all matters related to competition policy. UNCTAD seeks to further the understanding of the nature of competition law and policy and its contribution to development and to create an enabling environment for an efficient functioning of markets. The work of UNCTAD is carried out through intergovernmental deliberations, capacity-building activities, policy advice, and research and analysis on the interface between competition policy and development. Voluntary peer reviews of competition law and policy carried out by UNCTAD fall within the framework of the Set of Multilaterally Agreed Principles and Rules for the Control of Restrictive Business Practices, adopted by the General Assembly in 1980. The Set seeks, among other things, to assist developing countries in adopting and enforcing effective competition law and policy suited to their development needs and economic situation.

  • Administrative Procedure in Albania
    ISSN 2039-2117 (online) Mediterranean Journal of Social Sciences Vol 6 No 1 S1 ISSN 2039-9340 (print) MCSER Publishing, Rome-Italy January 2015 Administrative Procedure in Albania Pranvera Xhafaj (PhD Candidate at Tirana European University), Tirana, Albania [email protected] Doi:10.5901/mjss.2015.v6n1s1p438 Abstract The court and the parties constitute the core of administrative procedural legal relations, but besides them, third persons can also participate in these relations, who are part of litigation, such as the bailiff in the execution phase and when this process becomes part of the trial process on complaint. They conduct procedural actions with the active participation, in accordance with administrative procedural norms, influencing the "course, development and completion of the trial". This paragraph shall constitute the purpose and objectives of this paper. In administrative procedural relations attend some subjects who carry certain procedural rights and duties provided by applicable law. The main subject in this relation is the court because of its crucial role in the development of these administrative relations. The Court has a leading and unique position because it is only the court which has the right to resolves an administrative issue giving the final decision. This stems from the fact that the court is the only body authorized by law to administer justice and as such it binding participates in all relations arising during the trial of cases (Adv. N.Uka, Adv. J.Brati "Magistracy & Advocacy", "ILARI" P.F., Tirana, 2012, p. 454.) The methodology used is qualitative comparative of the two main doctrines on administrative procedure: Years of dictatorship (1962) and nowadays (2012).
