《公约》所确立且阿尔巴尼亚定为刑事犯罪的罪行的时效为 5 至 20 年不等，但 “威胁履职公职人员的罪行除外”（《刑法》第 238 条），该罪行的时效为两年。 《刑法》中似乎未涵盖对于逃避司法的被指控罪犯设定更长时效或中止时效的 规定。
The statute of limitations for offences covered by the Convention and criminalized in Albania ranges from 5 to 20 years, with the exception of “threatening a public official on duty” (art. 238 CC), for which the statute of limitations is two years. A longer statute of limitations or the suspension of the statute where the alleged offender has evaded the administration of justice do not appear to be covered.
