From 26 to 28 September 2023, the OSCE Presence in Albania organized a peer exchange visit for a delegation of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to Romania with the aim of establishing co-operation and exchange experiences and best practices with regional law enforcement agencies.

The delegation led by NBI Director Aida Veizaj met with the Romanian Directorate for Investigating Organized Crime and Terrorism, the National Anticorruption Directorate and the Southeast European Law Enforcement Center.

The Director of the NBI and her counterparts in Romania emphasized that co-operation, continuous exchange of information and joint investigations between the law enforcement agencies of the two countries are essential in the fight against organized crime, corruption and terrorism, which have extended beyond borders.

The OSCE Presence will continue to assist Albania's National Bureau of Investigation in building capacities, and the efficient consolidation of its functioning.
