CHAPTER II
LETTERS ROGATORY
Article 19
Untouchability of the person summoned
1. When a person who is requested to be notified of a summons to a proceeding in Albania does not succeed in acting in conformity with the act of summons issued by the requesting state, no mandatory [or] coercive measure or criminal sanction are taken against him.
2. If the local judicial authorities call a witness or expert with a residence or domicile outside the state, during the time of [his] stay in Albania, he will not be subjected to a criminal proceeding for an offence committed before [his] appearance in Albanian territory nor will he be sent to serve a criminal sentence given by a local judicial decision rendered before his appearance.
3. Point 2 of this article is not applicable if the witness or expert, although he has been given the possibility, has not left Albanian territory within 15 days after being notified that his presence is no longer necessary. This time period does not include the period during which the witness or expert could not have left Albanian territory for lawful documented reasons.
2. La Corte podrá dar seguridades a los testigos o expertos que comparezcan ante ella de que no serán enjuiciados o detenidos ni se restringirá su libertad personal por un acto u omisión anterior a su salida del Estado requerido.
