European Parliament adopts report on Albania

The European Parliament has voted with 402 votes in favor, 257 against and 30 abstentions, on the 2024-2025 report on Albania.

The report was compiled by Andreas Scheider, on the progress of integration into the European Union.

According to the report, corruption in the public sector remains a serious problem. 86% of Albanians, in the report, consider corruption widespread, while 45% feel personally affected by it, figures that significantly exceed the European Union average.

“Although a comprehensive legal framework to combat corruption exists, certain gaps remain. The Criminal Procedure Code lacks provisions that give jurisdiction to the Special Courts against Corruption and Organized Crime for matters related to the execution of their decisions. In May 2025, the Government submitted to Parliament for approval the draft law on the Asset Recovery Office. Albania is not yet a signatory to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention ,” the report states.
