“Promoting Freedom of Expression in Albania through open dialogue” is a two-year project implemented by the Council of Europe and co-funded by the Council of Europe and the European Union.

This initiative is designed to establish an inclusive platform for dialogue, bringing together diverse stakeholders, including government institutions, regulatory bodies, media professionals, civil society organisations, journalists, media outlets, academia, and experts. By addressing key challenges in the area of freedom of expression and media freedom in Albania, the project will assist in implementing the Council of Europe standards and recommendations and priorities outlined under Chapter 23 (Judiciary and Fundamental Rights) of Albania’s EU accession negotiations.

• The Open Dialogue will focus on three main pillars:
• Safety of Journalists and Press Freedom Violations                                
• Access to Information
• Media Ownership and Independent Journalism
