📍 Geneva/ Kick off the 79th World Health Assembly week and contribute to one of its first key discussions on protecting children from online harms.

As Minister of Health and Social Welfare of Albania and as a doctor I reaffirmed Albania’s strong commitment to placing children at the center of our policies and reforms.

We are among the first countries in the Western Balkans to adopt a National Action Plan for the European Child Guarantee with a clear focus: prevention, inclusion, and leaving no child behind.

Ending violence against children cannot remain only a declaration of intent, it requires political courage and international cooperation.

📍Brussels/ A very constructive meeting with Commissioner @OliverVarhelyi on Albania’s progress and next steps on EU accession, with a strong focus on Chapter 28 on public health—one of the most demanding chapters. I expressed our deep appreciation for the EU’s continued support.

We are committed to advancing key reforms, strengthening our health system, and aligning fully with the EU acquis, while moving forward with participation in #EU4Health as a concrete step towards integration. Albania remains focused and determined to deliver on its European path. 🇦🇱🤝🇪🇺

At #CSW70, Albania reaffirmed its commitment to advancing gender equality and women’s full participation in decision-making.

Through legal reforms, gender-responsive budgeting, and stronger protection from violence, we are working to ensure that women’s rights are not only recognized, but fully realized.

Empowering women strengthens democracy, institutions and our collective future.

✨🎄 This holiday season, take a moment to watch our new OncoDaily interview with @EvisSala, Minister of Health and Social Welfare of Albania.

https://t.co/SZneI2bydP

From Albania to the UK and the USA, and then back home.

Coming from a small country, how do you become a world-leading expert, and why do you choose to return to build healthcare where it matters most?

A thoughtful, honest conversation, best enjoyed with a cup of coffee, away from the noise.

📽️ Që në ditën e parë të detyrës si Ministre e Shëndetësisë dhe Mirëqenies Sociale, Shërbimi Onkologjik ka qenë përparësi e imja.

Sot, rritja e kapacitetit, përmes shtimit të nurmit të sallave dhe përmirësimit të kushteve është hapi i parë, ndërsa puna po vijon paralelisht për garantimin e barnave antitumorale.

It was a great meeting with the President of the Alliance Against Cancer in Italy, Prof. Ruggero De Maria. Our discussion focused on Albania’s 🇦🇱 ongoing efforts to further enhance cancer prevention, treatment, and care, including:

✅️ Establishing a National Oncological Network;
✅️ Advancing the development of the National Institute for Tumors;
✅️ Standardizing treatment protocols;
✅️ Expanding access to innovative clinical trials.

We look forward to deepening our cooperation with key 🇪🇺 European partners as we continue to build a modern, accessible, and evidence-based oncology system that delivers better outcomes for every patient.

https://t.co/Cwto88LleX is #EuropeDay. I could have posted a cheerful “Happy Europe Day”, a photo with the EU flag dipped in blue. I’ve done that many times over the past 20 years.
But this year, am on a E+ mode:) 🧵

Yesterday invited as a keynote speaker at #aleksandermoisiu University in Durres I spoke about transformation, 🇪🇺 and governance.
And I asked 3 questions we can no longer avoid:
1.Are we ready for the new job market?
2.What kind of future do we want to enter—as equals?
3.Are we building institutions that last?

I am deeply saddened by the tragedy in #Kocani. Our hearts are broken, our prayers and thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones and with all citizens of #NorthMacedonia.

Six years ago, I embarked on this journey with a vision: to bring the Western Balkans closer together and closer to Europe.

It has been more animated and challenging that I could have immagined. Pushing pragmatic agendas, maintaining a spirit of cooperation, and keeping the torch of eu integration lit during pandemic or even in moments when enlargement word wasn’t easily muttered - are just some of those
Today, I look back with pride at how far we’ve come.

Together 🇪🇺 awe eliminated roaming 📲charges across the Western Balkans and lowered those with the EU. We initiated the opening of green lanes during the pandemic, and established Common Regional Market plan a gateway to the EU Single Market.
We made mobility easier for students and professionals, empowered and included young people, women, and marginalized communities in shaping our future and championed sustainability through the Green Agenda🍃
It has been a ride of growth, challenges,obstacles but never lacking in VITALITY!

To those who have stood by me through it all,
THANK YOU! 😊

With gratitude for cooperation forged, achievements accomplished,support & encouragement.

After 6 years I can say that  never this region has  been as free and as conscious as it is now, on  the importance of #cooperation .

Last but foremost,
Thank You my amazing RCC family.🫶
Through every challenge and every joy, in both bitterness and sweetness, we’ve stood by each other. I’m deeply grateful for each of you and the unforgettable moments we’ve shared.

Vidimo se!
Mirupafshim!
Goodbye!

RCC SG @MajlindaBregu opening a four-day training on #CommonRegionalMarket for civil servants from parliaments and ministries across the #WesternBalkansSix

“New plan for the Western Balkans, the second phase of the Common Regional Market, has been set into place this year. European integration, regional cooperation and all local agendas are interconnected processes that are mutually reinforcing each other. CRM is a mindset and a process that always introduces new things. That's why through these four days of intensive training we wanted to equip everyone with skills to find the thread that brings all these processes together.” said RCC SG

This 4-day training organised by Albanian Centre for Competitiveness and International Trade, Albanian Centre for European Policies, & #poweredbyRCC is designed to equip participants with knowledge & skills needed to support the #CRM & strengthen #RegionalCooperation.

Pleasure speaking at the “The Netherlands and EU enlargement in new (geo)political times” Conference in #Hague today.

Emerging Geopolitical realities, have been a wake up call, forward movement vis a vis #enlargement which leaves no room for complacency in politics.

Events unfold whether we are ready or not.
What is now in front of us now is a need to focus on walking the talk and closing the economic gap with the 🇪🇺.

The journey toward EU membership must not delay actions in the present.
