This call is opened under the action "Building partnerships on fundamentals: Empowered CSOs in the EU Accession Process" implemented by European Movement Albania and funded by the European Union.
The Albanian Law Journal publishes analytical articles with a primary focus on law and politics. The journal is structured around four main pillars: a) Albanian Legislation; b) Administrative and Practical Issues; c) Human Rights; d) European Union and Integration.
