[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

In #Thessaloniki 23 years ago, the EU declared: the future of the Western Balkans is in the EU.

Today, in Tivat, that message was renewed and made even clearer: that future is now.

#Enlargement
#Horizon2030

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

Finally, great news!

The successful conclusion of negotiations on the gradual elimination of #roaming charges between the European Union and the #WesternBalkans is set to deliver one of the most tangible and meaningful benefits of European integration for citizens and businesses alike.

This achievement will enhance connectivity, facilitate travel and communication, strengthen people-to-people contacts, and create new opportunities for trade, investment, and economic cooperation across Europe. It is also expected to provide a significant boost to mobility and #tourism, particularly in #Albania, by making travel more convenient, affordable, and accessible for millions of European visitors.

More than a technical accomplishment, it represents a concrete step towards the gradual integration of the Western Balkans into the EU Single Market and a more connected #European space. It demonstrates how the enlargement process can generate real and immediate benefits for citizens, even before accession.

Bringing the Western Balkans closer to the European Union must be reflected not only through policies and institutions, but also through practical improvements that people can experience in their everyday lives. Lower communication costs, greater mobility, and stronger regional and European links are clear examples of how integration delivers tangible results.

These commitments were at the heart of today’s discussions at the EU–Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, where leaders reaffirmed their shared determination to accelerate the region’s gradual integration into the European Union through concrete measures that bring citizens and businesses closer together.

A stronger partnership between the European Union and the Western Balkans is an investment not only in the region’s future, but also in Europe’s security, competitiveness, resilience, and cohesion. This is European integration at its best: delivering concrete benefits where they matter most—in the daily lives of our citizens.

Enlargement makes Europe stronger, fairer, safer and more united.

In Tivat, the message is clear: it's time to make it happen.

[Ursula von der Leyen @vonderleyen]

We meet for the second time in just six months.

At a time of growing geopolitical challenges, enlargement is a strategic investment.

In our shared stability, prosperity and security.

[Gitanas Nausėda @GitanasNauseda]

Meeting in Tirana with Albanian President @BajramBegajAL.

A good opportunity to discuss the priorities of Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2027, as well as the EU enlargement process.

Lithuania welcomes Albania’s significant progress on its path towards EU integration. We encourage the country to continue implementing all the necessary reforms and strengthening administrative capacity.

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

Congratulations, @TKajzer, on your appointment as Slovenia’s Minister of Foreign and European Affairs.

I look forward to working closely with you to further strengthen the excellent partnership between 🇦🇱 and 🇸🇮, deepen our political dialogue, and expand cooperation across areas of mutual interest, including trade, investment, connectivity, and people-to-people ties.

Our EU accession path remains our top national priority. Slovenia’s continued support for #Enlargement is invaluable, not only for Albania’s European future, but also as an investment in the stability, prosperity, and resilience of our region as a whole.

I look forward to welcoming you soon in #Tirana.

[Bajram Begaj @BajramBegajAL]

Today in Tirana, together with the President of Lithuania, @GitanasNauseda, we expressed our shared commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and translating them into concrete and tangible cooperation for the citizens of our two countries.

President Nausėda assured me of Lithuania’s full support for Albania’s EU accession process and for the enlargement of the EU to include the countries of the Western Balkans during Lithuania’s Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the first half of 2027.

We also reaffirmed that Albania and Lithuania, as two NATO member states, share the same vision for Euro-Atlantic security and will continue to contribute to peace, security, and stability.

Ishte kënaqësi të prisja e takoja sot Kryetarin e Komunës së #Bujanocit, z. Arbër Pajaziti.

Zhvilluam një bashkëbisedim të hapur dhe të frytshëm mbi forcimin e bashkëpunimit me institucionet vendore të shqiptarëve në Luginën e #Preshevës, jo vetëm në planin politik, por edhe përmes nismave dhe projekteve konkrete në fushën e ekonomisë, arsimit, kulturës, rinisë dhe zhvillimit lokal.

Ritheksova vëmendjen e vazhdueshme të Qeverisë së Shqipërisë ndaj çështjeve dhe shqetësimeve të shqiptarëve në Luginë. Mbrojtja dhe promovimi i të drejtave dhe lirive themelore të shqiptarëve atje, respektimi i parimit të barazisë dhe mosdiskriminimit, si dhe ruajtja dhe avancimi i identitetit të tyre kombëtar, gjuhësor e kulturor, mbeten përparësi të qëndrueshme të Ministrisë për Evropën dhe Punët e Jashtme dhe të institucioneve shqiptare.
#Shqipëria do të vijojë të kërkojë zbatimin e standardeve më të larta evropiane dhe ndërkombëtare për mbrojtjen e të drejtave të pakicave, si dhe respektimin e plotë të të drejtave të shqiptarëve në #Serbi.

Shpreha gatishmërinë për të vijuar një komunikim të rregullt dhe të ngushtë me të gjithë përfaqësuesit institucionalë dhe politikë të shqiptarëve të Luginës. Po ashtu, nënvizova rëndësinë e bashkëpunimit dhe koordinimit mes aktorëve dhe subjekteve politike shqiptare në Luginë, si një element kyç për avancimin e interesave, maksimalizimin e impaktit të përfaqësimit politik në funksion të realizimit të të drejtave të tyre legjitime.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Good to be back in Tirana and meet you today in your vibrant city, @ediramaal!

I welcome Albania’s determination and efforts to become a member of the EU - thanks in no small part to your personal commitment to this process, dear Edi.

Last week’s Accession Conference confirmed your progress.

I encourage you to sustain and intensify the reform efforts and keep up the momentum for Albania’s EU accession.

In this time of geopolitical uncertainty, enlargement is a strategic necessity for Europe - an investment in the peace, stability and security of our continent.

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Bruxelles -- Very pleased to meet and catch up with MEP @andreykovatchev.

Our discussion focused on the regional and broader geopolitical dynamics shaping Europe today, including Albania’s EU accession process and the importance of preserving the current momentum of enlargement. We discussed also about the report on #Albania adopted last month by the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, which sends a strong and encouraging message in support of our European path.

At a time of increasing geopolitical uncertainty, #enlargement is a strategic investment in a stronger, more secure, and more united Europe, and is essential for strengthening Europe’s stability, resilience, and geopolitical credibility.

Grateful for Mr. Kovatchev’s continued engagement and support for Albania’s EU accession process and for advancing the #European perspective of the entire region of #WesternBalkans. 🇦🇱🇪🇺

#Horizon2030

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Brussels -- Always a valuable opportunity to meet and exchange views with Members of the @Europarl_EN on issues related to EU enlargement and the broader dynamics shaping Europe’s political agenda.

I was particularly pleased to meet with Albania’s Rapporteur in the European Parliament, Andreas Schieder @SCHIEDER, as well as with Swedish MPs Arba Kokalari @ArbaKokalari and @adnandibrani, both of Albanian descent and outstanding examples of successful integration, civic engagement, and public service in open, democratic, and inclusive European societies.

I thanked the Rapporteur for his excellent work in leading the process on the report on #Albania, adopted last month in the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, @EP_ForeignAff.

It was also an occasion to recognize, beyond their work and contribution as MPs, the personal and professional journey of Arba and Adnan, which reflects not only the valuable contribution that Albanians make across Europe, but also the opportunities that free and democratic societies offer to individuals who are committed to hard work, participation, and excellence. They stand as a powerful testament to the strong human ties that connect #Albania with #Europe and to the positive role that #diaspora communities play in strengthening mutual understanding, cooperation, and shared European values. Their success is a source of pride for #Albanians everywhere and a reminder that the European project is ultimately about people, opportunities, and the ability to contribute fully to the societies we call home.

Our discussion focused on the state of play of Albania’s EU accession process, the priorities and work ahead in the ongoing negotiations, and the shared objective of maintaining the current momentum of #enlargement. We also underlined the important role of the European Parliament in supporting a credible, merit-based enlargement process and in advancing the European perspective of the #WesternBalkans.

At a time when the European Union is increasingly recognizing the strategic importance of enlargement, continued engagement with the @Europarl_EN remains essential for strengthening political support and building a broader consensus and in communicating the transformative impact of a merit-based EU accession process.

📍Bruxelles -- Très heureux d’être à #Bruxelles dans le cadre d’une visite officielle en #Belgique.

Je suis profondément reconnaissant pour l’accueil chaleureux, l’hospitalité généreuse et l’excellente qualité des échanges que j’ai euses avec le Vice-Premier ministre et ministre des Affaires étrangères, des Affaires européennes et de la Coopération au développement, Maxime Prévot @prevotmaxime. 🇦🇱🇧🇪

Notre rencontre a confirmé l’excellence des relations entre l’#Albanie et la #Belgique, ainsi que notre volonté commune d’approfondir le dialogue politique et de renforcer davantage notre partenariat bilatéral.

J’ai salué avec plaisir la décision de la Belgique d’ouvrir une #Ambassade à #Tirana, une initiative concrète et hautement appréciée qui donnera une nouvelle impulsion à notre coopération. Nous avons exprimé notre conviction que cette évolution importante contribuera à développer davantage les échanges économiques, à accroître le commerce et les investissements, à promouvoir le tourisme, à renforcer la coopération dans le domaine des énergies renouvelables et à créer de nouvelles opportunités dans un large éventail de secteurs.

Nos discussions ont également porté sur notre étroite coopération dans les domaines de la justice et de la sécurité, ainsi que sur les défis sécuritaires plus larges auxquels l’Europe est confrontée aujourd’hui. Nous avons échangé sur les évolutions régionales et sur l’importance de maintenir une réponse #européenne forte et unie face aux défis géopolitiques actuels.

Nous avons souligné la contribution précieuse de la communauté #albanaise en Belgique, qui constitue un véritable pont entre nos deux pays et joue un rôle essentiel dans le renforcement des liens humains, culturels et économiques.

J’ai exprimé la profonde reconnaissance de l’Albanie pour le soutien constant de la Belgique à la politique d’#élargissement et à notre processus d’intégration européenne. À la suite de la huitième Conférence intergouvernementale, l’Albanie est entrée dans une nouvelle phase décisive de son parcours d’adhésion à l’Union européenne, avec une priorité claire : poursuivre les réformes nécessaires, faire avancer les négociations et progresser résolument vers l’adhésion à l’Union européenne.

Monsieur le Ministre, cher Maxime, ce sera un grand plaisir pour moi de vous accueillir en Albanie à la première occasion. Je me réjouis de poursuivre nos excellents échanges, de renforcer davantage les liens entre nos deux pays dans le véritable esprit européen, et de vous offrir l’opportunité de découvrir personnellement l’hospitalité albanaise.

À très bientôt.

📍Brussels - Very pleased to be in #Brussels on an official visit to #Belgium.

I am deeply grateful for the warm welcome, the generous hospitality, and the excellent discussions I had with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Affairs and Development Cooperation, Maxime Prévot @prevotmaxime. 🇦🇱🇧🇪

Our meeting reaffirmed the excellent relations between #Albania and #Belgium, as well as our shared commitment to deepening political dialogue and further strengthening our bilateral partnership.

I particularly welcomed Belgium’s decision to open an #Embassy in #Tirana, a concrete and highly appreciated step that will give new momentum to our cooperation. We expressed our confidence that this important development will contribute to expanding economic ties, increasing trade and investment, promoting tourism, advancing cooperation in renewable energy, and creating new opportunities across a wide range of sectors.

Our discussions also focused on our close cooperation in the fields of justice and security, as well as on the broader security challenges facing Europe today. We exchanged views on regional developments and the importance of maintaining a strong and united #European response to current geopolitical challenges.

We highlighted the important contribution of the #Albanian community in Belgium, which serves as a valuable bridge between our two countries and plays a key role in strengthening people-to-people, cultural, and economic ties.

I expressed Albania’s deep appreciation for Belgium’s consistent support for #enlargement, our European integration process. Following the successful 8th Intergovernmental Conference, Albania has entered a decisive new phase of its EU accession journey, with a clear focus on delivering the remaining reforms, advancing negotiations, and moving steadily towards membership in the European Union.

Dear Minister, cher Maxime, it will be my great pleasure to reciprocate your #hospitality and welcome you to Albania at the earliest opportunity. I look forward to continuing our excellent discussions, further strengthening the ties between our two countries in the true European spirit, and giving you the opportunity to experience #Albanian hospitality firsthand.

À très bientôt.

Zeer verheugd om in #Brussel te zijn voor een officieel bezoek aan #België.

Ik ben bijzonder dankbaar voor het warme onthaal, de hartelijke gastvrijheid en de uitstekende gesprekken die ik had met vicepremier en minister van Buitenlandse Zaken, Europese Zaken en Ontwikkelingssamenwerking, Maxime Prévot @prevotmaxime. 🇦🇱🇧🇪

Ons gesprek bevestigde opnieuw de uitstekende betrekkingen tussen #Albanië en #België, evenals onze gedeelde inzet om de politieke dialoog te verdiepen en ons bilateraal partnerschap verder te versterken.

Ik verwelkomde in het bijzonder de beslissing van België om een ambassade in Tirana te openen – een concrete en zeer gewaardeerde stap die onze samenwerking nieuwe dynamiek zal geven. We spraken ons vertrouwen uit dat deze belangrijke ontwikkeling zal bijdragen aan sterkere economische banden, meer handel en investeringen, de bevordering van toerisme, samenwerking op het gebied van hernieuwbare energie en nieuwe kansen in tal van andere sectoren.

Onze besprekingen gingen eveneens over onze nauwe samenwerking op het gebied van justitie, veiligheid en migratie, evenals over de bredere veiligheidsuitdagingen waarmee #Europa vandaag wordt geconfronteerd. We wisselden van gedachten over regionale ontwikkelingen en het belang van een sterke en eensgezinde Europese reactie op de huidige geopolitieke uitdagingen.

We benadrukten ook de belangrijke rol van de Albanese gemeenschap in België, die zo een waardevolle brug vormt tussen onze beide landen en een essentiële rol speelt bij het versterken van de contacten tussen mensen, culturele uitwisselingen en economische relaties.

Ik sprak mijn grote waardering uit voor de voortdurende Belgische steun aan het Europese integratieproces van Albanië. Na de succesvolle 8e Intergouvernementele Conferentie is Albanië een beslissende nieuwe fase van zijn toetredingsproces tot de Europese Unie ingegaan, met een duidelijke focus op het implementeren van de resterende hervormingen, het voortzetten van de onderhandelingen en het langzaam maar zeker dichterbij brengen van het EU-lidmaatschap.

Als navo-bondgenoten staan Albanië en België zij aan zij in hun steun aan Oekraïne, regionale stabiliteit en de verdediging van onze gedeelde democratische waarden en de internationale rechtsorde.

Beste minister, cher Maxime, het zal mij een groot genoegen zijn uw gastvrijheid te beantwoorden en u zo spoedig mogelijk in Albanië te mogen verwelkomen. Ik kijk ernaar uit onze uitstekende gesprekken voort te zetten, de banden tussen onze landen verder te versterken in een ware Europese geest en u kennis te laten maken met de Albanese gastvrijheid.

Tot zeer binnenkort.

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Brussels -- A moment to celebrate, a moment to cheer, a moment for "Gëzuar".

It was a great pleasure to welcome friends & colleagues from EU Member States and institutions to the #Mission of Albania to the EU in Brussels to celebrate, in keeping with a well-established tradition, a key milestone in Albania’s European journey: the successful outcome of the 8th #Intergovernmental Conference and the positive assessment reflected in the Interim Benchmark Assessment Report, #IBAR.

This achievement is the result of years of sustained effort, political commitment, and far-reaching reforms, often challenging, yet essential, undertaken with determination by the Albanian #Government & institutions. It reaffirms a fundamental principle of the enlargement process: progress is, and must remain, merit-based.

We were particularly pleased to celebrate with the Commissioner for Enlargement, our @MartaKosEU. Her engagement and unwavering commitment as well as that of her team, in Brussels and in Albania, to a credible enlargement process have been instrumental in maintaining momentum and strengthening confidence in the transformative power of the #European project.

We are fully aware that the positive IBAR outcome is both an encouragement and a responsibility. It recognizes how far #Albania has come, while setting the stage for the work that lies ahead. One thing is certain: Albania remains fully committed to advancing reforms, moving steadily toward the closure of negotiating chapters, and fulfilling the aspirations of generations of Albanians who see their future firmly anchored in the #EuropeanUnion.

Today's gathering was therefore not only a celebration of an important achievement, but also an opportunity to express our gratitude to all those who have accompanied and supported Albania along this path: the European Commission and other EU institutions, to all Member States for their understanding, support and encouragement, and all our friends who continue to believe in Albania and in the European future of the #WesternBalkans.

A cheer to Albania;
A cheer to our European future;
A chear to a stronger, more united & prosper Europe.🇦🇱🇪🇺

It was a pleasure to welcome yesterday in Prishtina @HoxhaFer, Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of Albania, a country with which we share a special relationship.

We discussed the deepening of cooperation in various sectors, including diplomacy, energy, and railway infrastructure.

We also spoke about the importance of coordination in foreign policy and of close cooperation in the Euro-Atlantic integration processes of both countries, as well as advancing regional engagement.

[António Costa @eucopresident]

Albania is making fast & concrete progress towards EU accession.

As we gear up to the EU-Western Balkans Summit this Friday, now is the time to further advance on the path towards enlargement.

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Brussels -- Very good exchange today with Ms. Els Van Hoof, Chair of the Chamber’s Foreign Affairs Committee, focused on the opportunities for further strengthening the excellent relations between #Albania and #Belgium. 🇦🇱🇧🇪

I conveyed Albania’s sincere appreciation for Belgium’s continued support for EU enlargement and, in particular, for our EU accession process, as well as for the constructive bilateral cooperation that has steadily deepened over the years.

Our discussion highlighted the importance of maintaining a strong and regular political dialogue, including through enhanced #parliamentary exchanges, anchored in our shared commitment to a stronger Europe and guided by a practical, results-oriented approach. Parliamentary diplomacy has an important role to play in fostering mutual understanding, supporting reform processes, and bringing our institutions and societies closer together.

We exchanged views on the renewed momentum of EU enlargement and the strategic importance of the #WesternBalkans for Europe’s security, stability, and prosperity. In this context, I underlined Albania’s determination to continue advancing its reform agenda and to move forward decisively in the accession negotiations.

Grateful to Ms. Van Hoof for her openness, engagement, and leadership. We look forward to further advancing this constructive dialogue and translating it into concrete initiatives that will strengthen the relations between Albania and Belgium. 🤝

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Belgium -- Pleased to engage in a substantive discussion on “EU Enlargement: An Albanian View” at the Egmont – Royal Institute for International Relations. 🇦🇱🇧🇪

Together with a distinguished group of experts, diplomats, policymakers, and think tank representatives, we exchanged views on EU enlargement as a geopolitical imperative and a strategic investment in #Europe’s future.

The discussion highlighted a growing recognition that the future of the #WesternBalkans is inseparable from the future of Europe itself. A stable, secure, democratic, and fully integrated Western Balkans is essential to Europe’s ability to remain geopolitically credible, strategically relevant, and resilient in an increasingly complex international environment.

In #Albania’s case, the EU accession process has proven to be the most powerful catalyst for transformation, driving institutional modernization, strengthening the rule of law, consolidating democratic governance, improving public administration, and advancing economic development. It has also reinforced Albania’s full alignment with the values, policies, and strategic objectives that define the European project.

I emphasized the importance of preserving a credible, predictable, and #merit-based enlargement process, one that rewards genuine reform efforts and delivers tangible progress for both candidate countries and the European Union.

Such exchanges are invaluable for fostering strategic dialogue, strengthening mutual understanding, and building the broad political and intellectual consensus needed to advance a stronger, more united, and more secure Europe. They are equally important in sustaining an open and informed conversation about the common future, helping to communicate the strategic value of enlargement and European integration both in the candidate countries and the Member States.

🇦🇱🇽🇰Në kuadër të vizitës në Kosovë, zhvillova një takim sa të veçantë aq edhe të përzemërt me përfaqësues të kontingjentit të Forcave të Armatosura të Republikës së #Shqipërisë që shërbejnë në kuadër të misionit të #KFOR-it.

I falënderova për kontributin e tyre të çmuar në përmbushjen e këtij misioni të rëndësishëm dhe i përgëzova për vlerësimet shumë pozitive që gëzojnë nga komanda e KFOR-it, si dëshmi e angazhimit, disiplinës, profesionalizmit dhe përkushtimit të tyre të përditshëm në shërbim të paqes dhe sigurisë.

Ushtarakët tanë përfaqësojnë denjësisht jo vetëm Forcat e Armatosura, por edhe Shqipërinë, vlerat tona euroatlantike dhe traditën e kontributit të vendit tonë në misionet ndërkombëtare të paqes.

Shpreha krenarinë dhe mirënjohjen time për shërbimin e tyre dinjitoz, për sakrificën që bëjnë larg familjeve dhe për përkushtimin me të cilin mbajnë lart flamurin kuqezi në një mision me rëndësi të veçantë për sigurinë dhe stabilitetin e Kosovës, të rajonit tonë dhe të gjithë hapësirës euroatlantike.

Kontributi i tyre është një dëshmi konkrete se Shqipëria mbetet e angazhuar jo vetëm për sigurinë e saj, por edhe për paqen, stabilitetin dhe të ardhmen e përbashkët të rajonit.

Siguria e #Kosovës është një interes strategjik për Shqipërinë, dhe prania e ushtarakëve tanë në KFOR pasqyron solidaritetin tonë të palëkundur me aleatët dhe angazhimin tonë të vazhdueshëm për një Ballkan Perëndimor më të sigurt, më të qëndrueshëm dhe më të integruar.

Faleminderit secilit prej tyre për shërbimin, përkushtimin dhe krenarinë me të cilën përfaqësojnë #Shqipërinë çdo ditë.

#WeAreNATO

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

Very pleased to meet with Major General Özkan Ulutaş, Commander of #KFOR.

#Albania highly values the vital role that KFOR continues to play in preserving peace, security and stability in Kosovo. We commend all troop-contributing nations for their unwavering commitment, professionalism and dedication, which remain essential to the success of NATO’s mission and to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all communities in Kosovo.

KFOR has been instrumental in addressing security challenges, particularly the very disturbing and threatening acts in northern Kosovo, while fostering stability and supporting the conditions necessary for dialogue, institution-building and long-term peace. Albania is proud to contribute to KFOR with a significant contingent and remains firmly committed to the Alliance’s efforts in the region.

As a #NATO Ally, Albania will continue to support Kosovo’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations and its gradual alignment with Alliance standards and practices. A secure, stable and democratic Kosovo contributes directly to the security, resilience and prosperity of the entire Western Balkans.

Kosovo’s security remains inseparable from Albania’s national and regional security interests. Stability in Kosovo means stability in the region, and strengthening Kosovo’s institutions, resilience and international integration is an investment in lasting peace and security for all.

At the same time, while KFOR’s presence remains indispensable, the long-term security and stability of Kosovo will increasingly depend on the strength, professionalism and democratic accountability of its own institutions. Supporting the continued development of Kosovo’s security capacities, in close coordination with NATO and international partners, is therefore essential for a sustainable and secure future.

Ishte kënaqësi e veçantë të takohesha me Gjeneral Major Özkan Ulutaş, Komandant i #KFOR-it.

Shqipëria vlerëson lart rolin jetik që KFOR-i vazhdon të luajë në ruajtjen e paqes, sigurisë dhe stabilitetit në Kosovë. Ne përgëzojmë të gjitha vendet kontribuese me trupa për angazhimin e tyre të palëkundur, profesionalizmin dhe përkushtimin, të cilat mbeten thelbësore për suksesin e misionit të #NATO-s dhe për garantimin e një mjedisi të sigurt për të gjitha komunitetet në Kosovë.

KFOR-i ka luajtur një rol vendimtar në përballimin e sfidave të sigurisë, veçanërisht përballë akteve shqetësuese dhe kërcënuese në veri të Kosovës, duke kontribuar njëkohësisht në ruajtjen e stabilitetit dhe në krijimin e kushteve të nevojshme për dialogun, forcimin e institucioneve dhe paqen afatgjatë. #Shqipëria është krenare që kontribuon në KFOR me një kontingjent të konsiderueshëm dhe mbetet plotësisht e angazhuar në mbështetje të përpjekjeve të Aleancës në rajon.

Si vend anëtar i NATO-s, Shqipëria do të vazhdojë të mbështesë aspiratat euroatlantike të Kosovës dhe afrimin gradual të saj me standardet dhe praktikat e Aleancës. Një Kosovë e sigurt, e qëndrueshme dhe demokratike kontribuon drejtpërdrejt në sigurinë, qëndrueshmërinë dhe prosperitetin e të gjithë Ballkanit Perëndimor.

Siguria e Kosovës është e pandashme nga interesat kombëtare dhe rajonale të sigurisë së Shqipërisë. Stabiliteti në Kosovë do të thotë stabilitet në rajon, ndërsa forcimi i institucioneve të Kosovës, rritja e qëndrueshmërisë së saj dhe avancimi i integrimit ndërkombëtar përbëjnë një investim në paqen dhe sigurinë afatgjatë për të gjithë.

Ndërsa prania e KFOR-it mbetet e domosdoshme, siguria dhe stabiliteti afatgjatë i Kosovës do të varen gjithnjë e më shumë nga forca, profesionalizmi i institucioneve të saj. Mbështetja për zhvillimin e mëtejshëm të kapaciteteve të sigurisë së Kosovës, në koordinim të ngushtë me NATO-n dhe partnerët ndërkombëtarë, mbetet thelbësore për ndërtimin e një të ardhmeje të sigurt, të qëndrueshme dhe të begatë.

[Ferit Hoxha🇦🇱 @HoxhaFer]

📍Prishtinë -- Gjatë takimit me Nënkryetarin e #LDK, Lutfi Haziri, vlerësova kontributin historik të kësaj force në shtetndërtimin e Kosovës dhe orientimin e saj euroatlantik, në frymën e vizionit të #Presidentit, Dr. Ibrahim Rugova. 🇦🇱🇽🇰

Kosova ndodhet në një moment të rëndësishëm politik dhe institucional, ku kërkohet përgjegjësi, maturi dhe bashkëpunim në funksion të interesit shtetëror dhe qytetar.

Rikonfirmova se Shqipëria do të vazhdojë të mbështsë #Kosovën në çdo proces të rëndësishëm shtetëror e kombëtar dhe inkurajova bashkëpunimin për formimin pa vonesa të institucioneve të reja të paszgjedhjeve. Kosova ka dëshmuar tashmë pjekuri të lartë demokratike, qëndrueshmëri institucionale dhe një potencial të padiskutushëm për zhvillim e progres.

Shpreha bindjen tonë se, përmes unitetit institucional, dialogut politik konstruktiv dhe koordinimit të ngushtë me miqtë dhe aleatët e saj strategjikë, ajo do të vazhdojë të ecë me vendosmëri drejt realizimit të aspiratës së natyrshme për integrim të plotë në familjen euroatlantike.

Dhe në këtë rrugëtim, Kosova do ta ketë #Shqipërinë gjithmonë pranë, në çdo hap dhe në çdo kohë, si partnerin e saj më të afërt, mbështetësin më të qëndrueshëm dhe aleatin e përkushtuar në përmbushjen e objektivave të përbashkëta për paqe, zhvillim dhe mirëqenie.
