SECTION I- EXECUTION OF FOREIGN CRIMINAL DECISION

Article 516- Issuing the decision

1. When recognises a foreign sentence the court determines the punishment to be served in the Albanian state. It converts the punishment imposed in the foreign sentence into one of the sentences provided for the same fact by the Albanian law. This punishment shall be similar as a nature with that which is rendered by the foreign sentenced. The duration of the sentence may not exceed the maximal limit provided for the same fact by the Albanian law.

2. When the foreign sentence does not specify the duration of the sentence, the court provides it on basis of criteria indicated in the Criminal Code.

3. When the execution of the sentence rendered in the foreign state is suspended on parole the court, by the decision of recognition, in addition to other issues, does also dispose of the suspension on parole of the sentence. The same does the court when the defendant has been released on parole in the foreign country.

4. In order to specify the punishment by fine, the sum specified in the foreign sentence shall be converted in equal value into Albanian currency, observing the exchange rate of the day on which the recognition has been provided.

5. The decision of recognition regarding the execution of a confiscation shall also order the execution of the confiscation.
