Extradition may be granted only when explicitly provided for by international agreements where the Republic of Albania is a party.
Extradition shall be granted when Albanian law and foreign law concurrently provide for the criminal offence, constituting the subject matter of the extradition request.
Extradition shall not be granted:
a) if the person to be extradited is an Albanian citizen, unless otherwise provided for by the agreement;
b) if the criminal offence constituting the subject matter of the extradition request is of a political or military nature;
c) when there is reasonable ground to believe that the person requested to be extradited will be persecuted, punished or wanted because of his political, religious, national, racial or ethnic beliefs;
d) if the person requested to be extradited has been tried by a competent Albanian court for the criminal offence whereof extradition is requested.
