During the year 2011 IDM has monitored the process of decentralization in the activity of the Parliamentary Commission for Legal Issues, Public Administration and Human Rights, through the scanning of the legislation concerned with local governance and decentralization process in Albania.

2) participation of the Members of Parliament in the commission’s meetings ;

3) consultations with representatives from the Ministry of Interior.

Despite the findings, the document provides concrete recommendations concerning the improvement of the process of law making as well as their implementation in the field of decentralization.
