Rule of Law: Albania shows progress in new EU report

The European Commission says Albania is making real progress in reforming its legal system.

Brussels confirms the country has finished vetting its judges and prosecutors—a major step in cleaning up the courts.

The report shows anti-corruption teams are winning more high-level cases, while the High Court has cleared a massive backlog.

Public trust is also rising. Both citizens and business owners report growing confidence in the courts compared to previous years.

While the EU warns more work is needed, it confirms Albania is on the right path toward joining the bloc.
