Whistleblower Protection Takes Center Stage in Albania’s Finance Industry

In a significant move aimed at tackling corruption and promoting transparency, the Albanian Parliament passed a landmark law on whistleblowing and whistleblower protection in June 2016. The legislation was prompted by a recommendation from the European Union and is seen as a crucial tool in the fight against graft.

Implementing the Law: Challenges Ahead

However, experts warn that implementing this law will not be without its challenges. Albania lacks institutional experience in this area, making it difficult to navigate the complexities of whistleblowing. Additionally, many people are skeptical about the concept, which could hinder its effectiveness.

Supporting Successful Implementation

In an effort to support the successful implementation of the law, the Centre for Sustainable Development and Governance (CSDG) has produced a comprehensive guide on whistleblowing in Albania. The didactic tool aims to educate stakeholders on the ins and outs of the law, providing answers to frequently asked questions.
