it is necessary that the Republic of Albania to take the necessary measures for the reception and
handling of persons in need of international protection, that appear on the borders, or caught
within its territory.
Humanitarian handling of refugees and migrants is an obligation for each country, as it is the
recognition of the rights pertaining to them by the aforementioned acts.
As per above, the following was recommended:
1. The Government of the Republic of Albania should continue to promote regional
initiatives to enable coordination of treatment and providing assistance to the Western
Balkans. The migration crisis, which the countries of the region are dealing with, have
deep roots and require political decisions, but also a deeply human approach by all
stakeholders and implementers, based on respect for human rights. Regional cooperation
among different countries should be encouraged deeming with interest not only the quota
for each country, but also the respect for the refugee status, as well as coordination in the
recording, handling and providing of long-term solutions for refugees. The best solution
is only the solution of issues in their source; therefore the Albanian government should

procedures for status determination be followed individually for them, as well as for any
incomer from any other countries.
4. In case of establishment of reception or transit camps – where for all the factors
mentioned above it is clear that, the establishment of centers for temporary profilization
and for the allowance of free movement to other countries may actually be the solution,
to be strictly implemented the best international standards in this field.
5. The Bodies of Justice and State Police should diligently treat the phenomenon of people
caught trying to leave the Albanian territory with false documents, sensitive to their needs
for international protection, since these persons may be refugees. This view point should
aim to determine their position in the context of migration flows and separation from
treatment such as other cases of the use of false documents. Treatment as in the latter
case, not only exacerbates the humanitarian situation of the people, but also increases
