2. Description of the selection procedure of recommended candidates for the position of Albania's Judge at the European Court of Human Rights

To ensure the compliance of this process with the Council of Europe standards , these steps were undertaken:

1. The call for application was widely disseminated through the publication at the official website of the Prime Minister's Office, at the institutional web pages that interact with the community of jurists, as well in the media.

2. In order to receive a higher number of applications, the deadline for submission of applications was extended by 1 month, by encouraging professional lawyers that fulfilled the criteria announced, to apply. The application deadline lasted more than two months in total.

3. The qualifications required meet the criteria for the appointments to the highest judicial posts, provided by the Constitution of Albania.

4. Considering the importance of the professional and moral integrity, the control of figure of judges and prosecutors in the Albanian justice system, as well of Albanian representatives in international judicial bodies, under the implementation of justice reform in Albania, in accordance with the Constitution and the legislation in force, applicants for the position of the new judge of Albania in the ECHR had undergone the process of reevaluation (vetting).

Other legal professionals who were not included in the categories mentioned in the Constitution were subject to the principles underlying the reevaluation process, which was conducted through investigation and evaluation of skills, competencies, personality, assets and other aspects, in co-operation with the responsible institutions. An applicant was excluded from the process, due to the reevaluation process (vetting).

5. Under the Order of the Secretary General of the Council of Ministers was established an ad hoc Commission for the selection of applicants with the purpose of recommending the most qualified of them. The composition of the commission was balanced between representatives of the academic corps and well-known law professionals, part of the public administration.

7. After reviewing the applications and verifying compliance with the required criteria, applicants were invited to the structured interview stage, according to a standardized format of questions aimed on identifying the degree of motivation of applicants for the position of Albania's Judge at ECHR but also to check their knowledge about the European Convention on Human Rights, ECHR jurisprudence and the way ECHR is organized and functioned.

8. The questions addressed to each applicant are as follows:

Briefly introduce your professional experience including your contribution to the field of human rights (if any).

Which is the main reason you are applying for this position?

Which is the inadmissibility criteria of the complaint before the ECHR?

How do you interpret Article no. 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights, 'Right to life'? – 'The right to life is protected by law'

What is the obligation of the High Contracting Party to respect this right?

In the context of Article 8, which is the right to respect for private and family life, under the European Convention on Human Rights, what is the interpretation that the ECHR has made to the notion of 'home'?

What are the circumstances when the Grand Chamber exercises its jurisdiction?

Do judges sit in cases concerning their own country, at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg?

Choose to introduce one of the ECHR decisions that has impressed you predominantly during your professional career, for the reasoning and the standard setting.

9. Determined to carry out this process under the conditions of full transparency, each applicant was invited to sign a statement by which he/she expressed the will to record or not the interview with digital audio.

10. Foreign language skills were also tested during the interview by developing a part of it (three out of seven selected questions) in one of the official languages of the Council of Europe.
