On 15 June 2026, the Minister of Justice of Albania, Toni Gogu, visited the Court where he was received by President Mattias Guyomar, the judge elected in respect of Albania, Darian Pavli, and the Deputy Registrar, Abel Campos. The President emphasised the importance of shared responsibility, acknowledged the Convention’s constitutional status in Albania, and recognised the country’s commitment to promoting the idea of peace through law and justice — demonstrated, for example, by its hosting of the World Law Congress 2027. Judge Pavli commented on some of the main categories of cases pending against Albania on the Court’s docket. The Deputy Registrar mentioned the secondment of judges as a form of support for the Court.
