The free movement of goods is one of the most debatable topics for academics that are focused on European law. One of the four fundamental freedoms of the internal market with the potential to benefit consumers. Because of its complexities, it continues to be important and needs to be continuously studied and analyzed. Given this, the main goal of this paper is to prove if the free movement of Albanian goods toward the European Union is a positive indicator or not for the future. It will be an examination to better understand where we are as a country. To better understand the situation, the analysis will begin with a general overview of the free movement of goods and its significance, followed by a look at the opportunities and challenges that Albania will most likely face in the future. This study attempts to examine the progress of Albania in the area of the free movement of goods, as a country that aspires to be part of the European Union. It models such an analysis, which begins with the first agreement created for this purpose, such as the Stabilization and Association Agreement, and concludes with the most recent creation, The Open Balkan. The analysis conducted through this lens leads Albania to a better future if it adapts to European Union standards, but things cannot be that simple. The true challenges lie deeper and will be visible in the near future.
The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which began in 2014, has been a major challenge to regional and international security. In response, the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) have been actively involved in efforts to promote peace, stability, and security in the region. In light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, this paper examines the relationship between the European Union (EU) and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). The EU and OSCE have been actively engaged in conflict resolution efforts, with a focus on diplomatic and economic sanctions against Russia. However, the intricate political and military dynamics at play as well as the wider geopolitical tensions between Russia and the West have limited the efficacy of these efforts. This paper aims to examine the impacts and limitations of EU and OSCE cooperation in addressing the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The research question that follows this paper is on how has the relationship between the EU and OSCE been impacted by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and what are the challenges and opportunities facing these organizations in their efforts to promote peace and stability in the region? Ultimately, the paper argues that a comprehensive and inclusive approach is needed to effectively address the conflict and promote sustainable peace and stability in the region.

The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has had significant consequences not only for the two states but also for the international community. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) and the European Union (EU) have played crucial roles in resolving the conflict, with their cooperation being essential for creating a peaceful and stable outcome. This paper aims to analyze the role of OSCE and EU cooperation in resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict and identify the challenges and areas for improvement in their coordination based on a qualitative approach. The OSCE Special Monitoring Mission to Ukraine (SMM) and the European Union Satellite Centre (SatCen) were particularly instrumental in providing unbiased monitoring and reporting of violations of the ceasefire agreement. Despite the challenges faced in coordinating their efforts, this paper presents that SMM and SatCen have proven to be valuable tools in promoting peace, security, and respect for human rights in the conflict-affected region. Thus, through this paper scholars could use it as a reference to start to study more the SatCen relevance and SMM role, to explain relations between EU and OSCE through their influential tools. The OSCE and EU have been actively engaged in conflict resolution efforts, with a focus on diplomatic and economic sanctions against Russia. In reviewing the OSCE’s cooperation with the EU, this paper suggests that they need to find other ways to minimize their limitations. The lack of political will and agreement among member states has weakened the effectiveness of the OSCE, while the EU's sanctions policy has been questioned as a means of resolving the conflict. The paper suggests that the OSCE should focus on strengthening its capacity for conflict prevention, management, and resolution as well as monitoring and reporting on violations of human rights. The EU should increase economic assistance to Ukraine and find other ways to cooperate with the OSCE to address human rights concerns and support a peaceful resolution to the conflict. Ultimately, the paper argues that a comprehensive and inclusive approach is needed to effectively address the conflict and promote sustainable peace and stability in the region.
This study presents a comprehensive overview of the role of the Venice Commission in providing constitutional recommendations for Albania, Georgia, and Ukraine in their fight against corruption, as well as the measures taken by their governments to establish anti-corruption structures. The inclusion of these countries is motivated by the European Union's (EU) regulations and requirements for accession, which require significant progress in combating corruption and strengthening the rule of law as key criteria for membership. The Commission has been involved in providing recommendations and assistance to improve their legal frameworks and institutions in the fight against corruption, and its opinions carry significant weight as they are based on international standards and best practices in the field of constitutional law. By analyzing the Venice Commission’s work in Albania, Georgia, and Ukraine, one can understand the unique context and circumstances of each country and identify effective strategies for combating corruption and promoting good governance. This information can be useful for academics, and anti-corruption advocates who seek to comprehend the challenges and opportunities associated with corruption in Albania, Georgia, and Ukraine. This paper explores the Commission’s role and impact in these countries and assesses the effectiveness of its interventions in promoting good governance and transparency. One key finding of this study is the importance of political will in effectively combating corruption. The findings suggest that the Venice Commission has played a crucial role in supporting anti-corruption efforts in Albania, Georgia, and Ukraine, but more needs to be done to address the root causes of corruption and strengthen the rule of law in these countries.
