Until recently, he was a normal deputy minister in the administration, but since becoming Minister of Justice, Besfort Lamallari seems to no longer recognize the limits of normality. In an interview on Albanian Public Television, the minister not only announced the end of the courts for simple matters, but also offered an alternative vision where divorce is resolved at the notary and property disputes can be taken to the Sun. As if he has not learned that the leaders of AKSHI are either under house arrest themselves or at risk of being so.
During the interview, Lamallari announced that in the coming months the Ministry of Justice will introduce a new platform for resolving conflicts through alternative forms, according to European models, without the need for citizens to necessarily go to court. According to him, this will also help reduce the stock of files that have been dragging on in the judicial system for years.
As an illustrative example, the minister cited the case of a couple seeking a divorce without financial implications or heirs, suggesting that such a process could be resolved very well at a notary, without wasting time, money, and patience in the courts.
"There is no reason for such issues to drag on, when in other countries the resolution of marriage without financial elements is done through a notary. It is simply an expression of will," said Lamallari, adding that this was just an illustration of the legal spaces that, according to him, need to be reviewed.
The Minister also spoke about mediation, arbitration, conciliation, and even the use of technology and Artificial Intelligence to resolve disputes, with the aim of citizens no longer having to physically go to courts and prosecutors' offices even to file the simplest documents.
In the end, Lamallari emphasized that justice reform should be measured not only by salaries or the number of legal assistants, but by effectiveness and accountability to citizens. Meanwhile, from the interview it remained clear that the new justice being projected by the minister, more than a court, resembles a one-stop shop for quick services – where everything is resolved, you just have to not bother the platoon.
