Abstract

The problems of the Albanian criminal code are many and of different nature. In this short article, only some of the main issues will be highlighted, by underlying the most critical issues, while - for obvious reasons of space - individual institutes will not be explored in detail. We will try to carry out a general examination to understand what are the gaps, problems and possible solutions in view of a reform. In this regard, in fact, some elements will be highlighted that are believed to be of help to the ministerial commission that will be invested in the preparation of the new text.
