OSCE Presence in Albania organizes training course on prosecutorial leadership in the investigation of criminal offences

The OSCE Presence in Albania, in co-operation with the Albanian School of Magistrates, organized a two-day virtual training course on 2 and 3 December 2020 on the role of prosecutors in investigating criminal offences and their leadership skills for Albania’s Prosecutors and Judicial Police officers.

The event was held ahead of the Presence’s publication of the Handbook on Prosecutorial Leadership that will address the findings of the gap analysis on the co-ordination and co-operation between Prosecutors and Judicial Police in the country, conducted last year by the Presence. A report based on the gap analysis was widely disseminated and warmly welcomed by criminal justice practitioners.

The training was held with the support of the Albanian School of Magistrates, which is the leading institution responsible for the training and continuous learning of judges and prosecutors in Albania.

The training course and the Handbook show the Presence’s continuous commitment to support the strengthening and professional growth of Albania’s Prosecution towards a consolidated criminal justice system.
