IDM Albania

Parliamentary political parties in Albania have traditionally shared consensus on necessary reforms bringing Albania closer to NATO membership and standards. Beyond this perception, it seems that civic and public interest on PCNS’ work remains limited under the justification of national security matters. However, in a dynamic world of developed societies such limitations to the security concept are being “conquered” and the public is allowed greater access in the role of the Parliament in this regard and also in the overall security sector governance. This approach represents the main motivation behind IDM Center for European and Security Affairs (CESA) initiative. The report presents the main findings of the monitoring and an assessment of the activity of the Parliamentary Committee on National Security during 2011.
