EU4LEA Project strengthens Albania’s capacity to combat Environmental Crimes

As part of its commitment to enhancing law enforcement in Albania, the EU4LEA project has continued its support to key beneficiaries as the Albanian State Police, SPAK and General Prosecutors Office, in addressing environmental crimes. A key milestone in this effort was reached with a focused initiative to provide practical tools and strategies aimed at improving the investigation of these offenses, aligning with Albania’s EU integration process.

On October 9, 2024, a round table discussion was held with key stakeholders thanks to the support of the Security Academy. This event focused on discussing the progress made in tackling environmental crimes, as highlighted through the project assessment report, and identifying solutions to any remaining challenges.

The EU4LEA project remains committed to supporting Albania’s law enforcement agencies in strengthening their capacities to investigate and prevent environmental crimes, ensuring that Albania is well-prepared for future challenges as it moves closer to EU accession. This initiative plays a crucial role in advancing the country’s broader goals of EU integration and the protection of its natural resources.
