The Institute for Democracy “Societas Civilis” – Skopje in cooperation with partners from the Western Balkans region, prepared five policy briefs that analyze the forms of parliamentary oversight over the anti-corruption institutions in Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Montenegro, and Serbia. The analyses are developed within the project “Anti-corruption talk in the Parliament” funded by the National Endowment for Democracy.

Albania

The role and the effectiveness of the Albanian Parliament are analysed through the Parliamentary Oversight Capacity Index indicators. The index includes contextual factors such as political parties’ dynamics, executive dominance, and public trust, internal legislative oversight mechanisms, and external oversight institutions.
