The High Judicial Council, according to the Constitution of the Republic of Albania, is the independent constitutional body which guarantees the appropriate functionality of the Albanian judicial system (…). As such, the Council functions as an open and cooperative institution, not only with the judiciary but also with the community of judiciary stakeholders as well as general public who expect a fair trial and a justice without delay. The Council has considered the drafting and publishing a summary of its most important decisions issued during the first 2 years of its performance, as one of the means to communicate more effectively with the general public or various stakeholders, therefore the compilation was translated into English in order to allow non-Albanian lawyers as well as other interested readers to understand the relevant decisions (over 80) taken by the new Council .
