Judiciary and rule of law, more specifically, is a core element for the EU accession negotiations . In the case of Albania, the enlargement instruments have been primarily focused on the justice reform, therefore, it gives the opportunity to go beyond the simply adoption of the acquis communautaire and of the capacity building approach (i.e. the formal establishment of new structures and institutions). This Policy Brief aims to draw some lessons from the implementation of the justice reform in Albania, which also allows to build a coherent body of knowledge that will assist to better plan, implement, monitor and maintain a sustainable institutional reform dynamic all over the Western Balkans region.

Although Montenegro has been negotiating membership in the EU for more than nine years and thus carrying out certain activities to strengthen the rule of law under the umbrella of EU conditionality, it is unclear to what extent the new government is able to deal with burning issues. This is predominantly due to the composition of parties/coalitions that are now part of the parliamentary majority, which cannot reach the necessary consensus on important subjects to strengthen the rule of law. In this context, this Policy Brief analyses the situation in the judiciary, the new parliamentary majority, the growing nationalism and deep polarisation in society and formulates policy recommendations.
