2 Introduction Albania was granted EU candidate status in June 2014 and has launched a series of EU-related reforms laid down in the roadmap adopted under the five key priorities (KP) identified for the opening of accession negotiations i.a. fight against organised crime (KP4); Justice reform is one of the main milestones. Some progress is made, international police cooperation has intensified, especially with Europol. However, cooperation and coordination mechanisms between police and prosecution needs to be further strengthened to dismantle criminal networks more effectively.
