On 14 November, the Council of Europe launched a court coaching project for 10 pilot courts in  Tirana, Albania to support Court Presidents, Chancellors, legal advisors and legal assistants to develop concrete understanding of their roles following the adoption of new laws in this area. The objective of this coaching is to develop a report with concrete guidelines to support firstly future training in this respect. As a first step, a meeting was led by three Commission on the Efficiency of Justice System (CEPEJ) experts, Vivien Whyte, Jon Johnsen and Marco Fabri, to present European standards and examples of good practices. Workshops per role also took place to discuss concrete measures to improve court management and encourage proactive engagement to contribute to a better court management system in Albania.

This activity took place under the Action “Strengthening the efficiency and quality of the justice system in Albania - SEJ II”, which is part of the programme entitled "Horizontal Facility for the Western Balkans and Turkey", co-funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe, and implemented by the Council of Europe.
