“Establishing and operationalizing the Bureau, putting the vetting process into practice, advancing the package of draft laws on justice reform and finalizing civil legislation are essential parts of this daily commitment to build stronger institutions, ensure genuine accountability and demonstrate that no one, regardless of name, position or power, is above the law,” Gërvalla said.
