The Albanian Prime Minister, Edi Rama, asked the Constitutional Court to
act as sson as possible and implement the Vetting Law, now that the
Venice Commission opinion is here.

Rama said that their opinion clearly shows that the Vetting Law is compatible with the Constitution of Albania, and now it is up to the Constitutional Court to implement it.

“We don’t have a single day to lose, so that we use the Vetting Law to remove corrupted judges and prosecutors from the Justice Palace before Albania and EU starts accession negotiations”, Rama said, adding that it was actually unnecessary to send the request to Venice.

“No one can convince me that our Constitutional Judges really needed the Venice Opinion, and that they couldn’t do their job without it. They have shown that they can serve to the country’s interest and Constitution, when they want. They’re not lacking of knowledge or experience”, Rama said.

Rama asked the Constitutional Court to send as soon this decision that makes way for a purge of the Justice Palace.
