The EUVALWEB Legal Observatory at the Department of Legal Sciences of the University of Salerno arrived to Tirana, Albania, with the project “A Network of Safety in Europe” – Second Edition, carried out in collaboration with the National Magistrates Association – District of Salerno, the State Police, the autonomous body Giffoni Experience, and the Bar Association of Salerno. The project includes a series of initiatives involving academics, professionals, university and school students, and Albanian civil society.
Specifically, on March 25, an international symposium entitled “The Rule of Law at the Frontline of EU Integration in the Western Balkans” will take place. The participation of academics, judges, law enforcement officers, political and institutional representatives, and NGOs will provide an opportunity to examine respect for the rule of law—between legal frameworks and practical implementation—in the Western Balkans.

On March 26, at the General Prosecutor’s Office of Tirana, an Interinstitutional Meeting on the Evolution of Italian-Albanian Judicial Cooperation will be held, bringing together academics, Italian and Albanian magistrates, and the Italian Embassy in Tirana. The meeting aims to foster the exchange of best practices, expertise, and operational skills in the field of criminal justice and judicial cooperation among professionals across Europe.
This will be followed by a mock trial on the crime of deepfake at the “Ismail Qemali” High School, aimed at raising awareness among younger generations about the criminal risks and legal consequences associated with the improper use of social networks.
