1The Ministry of Justice is competent to request to a foreign State the extradition of a person under proceedings or convicted, against whom a measure restricting the individual freedom must be executed. To this purpose, the prosecutor at the court in whose territory the proceedings take place or the conviction decision is issued, makes a request to the Ministry of Justice, sending the necessary acts and documents. When the Ministry does not accept the request, it notifies the authority which has made it.
2The Ministry of Justice is competent to decide on the conditions possibly imposed by the foreign country to grant the extradition, when they are not contrary to the main principles of the Albanian juridical order. The proceeding authority is obliged to respect the accepted conditions.
3The Ministry of Justice may decide, for the purpose of extradition, the searching abroad for the proceeded or sentenced person and his temporary arrest.
4Precautionary detention in prison served abroad, as a consequence of a request for extradition submitted by the Albanian State, shall be calculated as part of the imposed sentence, pursuant to the rules provided in Article 57 of the Criminal Code.
