Law for reporting corruption

The draft law as greeted during a ceremony at the Embassy of Netherlands, with the presence of the National Coordinator of the Fight Against Corruption, Bledi Cuci, the Deputy Minister of Justice, Idlir Peci, and the acting head of the European Union in our country, Clive Rumbold. Martin De La Beij, Ambassador of Netherlands to Albania, explained in an interview for Top Channel the importance of this law for Albania in the fight against corruption.

“It is an important element in the fight against corruption. It might be a small thing, but a very important element in this fight. This is a novelty, and that’s what it is for Netherlands, in having a law that defends informers, since this law was urgent in my country. This law has two aspects, recognizing the corruptive policies and protecting those who have the courage to talk about these issues and not feel threatened for this action”, declared Ambassador De La Beij.

The Minister of Justice and the National Coordinator of Anti-Corruption are responsible for the planning of a draft-law. Mr.Cuci values the support of Netherlands in this draft-law, which he considers as very necessary.

“The planning of the legislation for defending informers in cases of corruption is not only an obligation that we have from the third priority of the cooperation with Brussels. It is a direct commitment and the indicator of the government’s will to create an administration with integrity, and to fight corruption inside and outside the administration”, Bledi Cuci declared.

The law will be drafted with help from the Department of Crimes at the Vilom Pompe institution at the Utrecht university.
