Gentiana Sula, member of ENRS Advisory Board, has been nominated by the Albanian Parliament to be the Chairperson of the Authority for Information on Documents of the Former State Security (AIDFSS).
The Authority was created in 2015. It manages the State Security Archives and grants access to its files while securing privacy of information.
Documents in question cover a period from 29 November 1944 when Albania was liberated until 21 March 1991 when first democratic elections were held. The files can be accessed within the limits permitted by the law by victims of the regime and their relatives, as well by the public authorities and NGOs. The AIDFSS, based largely on the German model, is also entitled to evaluate candidates for key public and military offices.
