Abstract

During the history Italy and Albania, being two neighboring states have had good mutual relations between them. After the democratic changes in Albania in 1991, a lot of Albanians emigrated in Italy. This was accompanied by wide relations between Italy and Albania in the juridical criminal process, as in all areas of life. These relations are of great interest to be studied in-depth, taking into consideration the free movement of the citizens from one country to another, which brings about the breaking of barriers and boarders among states. This study tends to analyze, the Albanian legal basis of the juridical relations in the criminal process with Italy, including: the new internal laws, a series of international acts that Albania has ratified and agreements with Italy. This analysis will be based on a detailed observation, using scientific descriptive and comparative research methods of Albanian and Italian legislation, concluding that Italy and Albania have good legal basis on the cooperation for an effective fight against crime, giving justice and punishment to the authors of criminal acts.
