On 19 & 20 February 2019, the Albanian State Police in cooperation with the Dutch National Police and the Netherlands Helsinki Committee presented a work plan with activities for the project 'Countering discrimination and protecting LGBTI rights in Albania' financed under MATRA program of the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The project is a clear example of how the Netherlands is pursuing its “strict and fair” policy with Albania in fostering development of the rule of law.
