During his speech, Begaj said that in Albania we need to ensure more trust in the law, while adding that our aspirations for justice are common.

"We must ensure trust in the law. Our aspirations for justice are shared. Albania and its citizens deserve impartial, efficient and equal justice for all. The role of the judiciary becomes more important as they face challenges that are common to all. The independence of the judicial system is of vital importance.
Independence means autonomy in judgment. Justice should not have external influences. Transparency and accountability should be the foundations of this justice. Both together guarantee the foundations of justice. Citizens' access to justice becomes a top priority so that justice does not remain a difficult mission. For everyone, investments in justice must be a priority. The number of files must definitely be reduced.
The main challenge remains the reduction of the number of transferred files. This issue requires an urgent and efficient solution. I have supported and continue to support the justice system, the work and results so far of justice workers. Guaranteeing a due process of law. We must guarantee European justice.
