We feel thankful towards our Partners as well as satisfied with the results of the informal meeting held on 10 March 2022.

Among the preliminary activities for EUWEB’s Third Edition, we would like to draw attention to the lectures of EU Law occurred on 7 and 8 March 2022 and diligently carried out at the Department of Legal Sciences (School of Law) of University of Salerno by our Albanian partners.

Teresa Russo (EUWEB Leader) and Anna Oriolo (EUWEB Key Teacher), Prof. Erjon Hitaj, Lecturer of International Law and Head of Department of Law, University ‘Ismail Qemali’ of Vlöre, held a lecture on “The Legal Nature and the So-Called Supranationality of the European Union” on Monday, 7 March.

In the same fashion, Prof. Niuton Mulleti, Lecturer of International Relations and Acting Head of the Department of Law, University ‘EPOKA’ of Tirana, discussed “The Birth and Evolution of the Principle of the Supremacy of EU Law: Is This Principle Under Threat?” the following day.
