Treatment of juveniles, rehabilitation, reintegration

Juveniles in Tirana who have violated the law, but have not committed serious criminal offenses will be cared for in the community through special socialization programs at the social centers in the Municipality of Tirana.

Tirana's Mayor Erion Veliaj and Justice Minister Etilda Gjonaj signed a cooperation agreement on the implementation of alternative measures to avoid prosecution of minors in conflict with the law. 

The Municipality of Tirana becomes the first domestic institution in Albania to provide support for minors who have violated the law.

Under the agreement, the Municipality of Tirana will make treatment and rehabilitation of juveniles in contradiction with the law available through the 5 multi-functional social centers. 

All staff members will be trained in understanding the rights of children and their protection such as social workers and psychologists.
