Press Release: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the EU on the Albanian Lustration Law

The European Union recalls, as pointed out during the recent demarche with the Government of Albania, that the new Law on Lustration gives rise to concern with regard
to certain aspects on both procedure and substance. Wider consultation and consensus would have been appropriate prior to the passing of the law. Therefore, the EU encourages the Government of Albania to reconsider the legal and political ramifications of the Lustration Law.
