Prime Minister Edi Rama, during the Anti-Corruption Conference that is taking place at the Palace of Congresses, focused on the achievements of the justice reform. Rama says that years ago, no one could have thought that ministers or MPs could be punished. According to the head of government, before the start of this reform, in Albania there has never been justice independent of politics. 

Rama bases this statement on the work of the Prosecution and the Special Court against Corruption and Organized Crime (GJKKO) that have investigated and convicted senior officials of this government. 

"For the reform of the justice system, there will be a special panel after this opening. I would like to say something that comes to my mind that we all agree regardless of the beliefs we have, the reservations we have about anything, regardless of political sympathies. 

Who thought until a few years ago that in this country, political figures of the highest rank would be punished by justice? Who would have thought that the day would come just a few years after the start of justice reform that no one would feel impenetrable, members of the government, local government representatives, MPs, would be investigated and charged by a separate Prosecutor from politics and totally focused on its mission to do justice. 

I do not believe that anyone would answer positively the question of whether he believes this will happen in a few years. And not members of the government, or MPs of the opposition, but of the ruling party. We had members of the government being shot, but we were a different system back then. This is a historic moment beyond all the shortcomings or weaknesses of a process that has never happened before, and it is in its first steps to have in this country, to have an independent justice that divides the honest cousin and guilty cousin. 

Albania has not had a just justice and independent of politics in any of the moments of its rule, whether in the monarchy, communism or the periods before. Nor before the period before justice reform. This is a process that has its ups and downs, but it is nevertheless the right process in the right direction," said Rama.
