In light of the unjustified and unacceptable criticism against the European Union and its representatives, the EU Ambassadors accredited to Albania issue the following statement:

Joint Statement of EU Ambassadors accredited to Albania – 9 May 2026

On Europe Day, we stand united in support of the EU Ambassador and his team, and we reaffirm our full confidence in their professionalism, integrity, and dedicated service.

[Marta Kos @MartaKosEU]

Gender equality and non-discrimination are an integral part of EU law.

Aligning with it is part of the EU accession process.

This is not a private demand of the Ambassador of @EUinAlbania

Any attacks on him are unacceptable.

Russia's repeated violations of #NATO airspace are highly dangerous. NATO is strong and stands united. We will use all necessary means to defend Alliance territory and our security, and to counter threats from #Russia.

Every day, the people of #Ukraine demonstrate courage & strength. We stand firmly by their side. Only 🇺🇦 can decide on Ukraine’s borders & future. We must ensure that this will never happen under duress, and we will continue to put pressure on Russia to end the war. @AussenMinDE

📍 Gaza | The scale of human suffering and the stripping of human dignity have long exceeded every acceptable standard, both legal and moral.

This tragedy must end now.

Unsere Kollegen Heinz Hillegaart und Andreas Baron von Mirbach wurden am 24.04.1975 bei dem Terroranschlag auf die Deutsche Botschaft Stockholm von der RAF ermordet. Ernst Peterlechner starb 1988 an den Folgen. Ihrer und aller, die der Anschlag gezeichnet hat, gedenken wir heute.

[Miriam Hollstein @HollsteinM]

Die Familie hat nie erfahren, wer den Vater erschoss. Einer der Attentäter, Karl-Heinz Dellwo, lebt heute in derselben Stadt wie der Sohn.
In Interviews sagte er, das Attentat würde ihn heute nicht mehr so sehr beschäftigen.

[Miriam Hollstein @HollsteinM]

Das vergessene Attentat der RAF: Heute vor 50 Jahren drangen 6 RAF-Terroristen in die Deutsche Botschaft in Stockholm ein, nahmen alle als Geiseln.
Den Verteidigungsattaché Andreas von Mirbach ließen sie eine Stunde lang um sein Leben verhandeln, schossen ihn dann nieder. 1/3

In an extraordinary display of public support, heads of state, heads of government, and foreign ministers from all over Europe and Canada are posting in support of Ukraine in response to the Oval Office meeting with Trump, Zelenskyy, and Vance.

[Kim Ghattas @KimGhattas]

Bashar al Assad shook hands and had a pretty blonde wife. He also slaughtered half a million Syrians. The debate about handshakes is tedious, ignorant, superficial. Focus on how/whether Sharaa and co apply governance, rule of law and build an inclusive state, handshake or not.

@SameralAtrush After treatment, you have German/Dutch pronunciation.

More than 650 students will soon move into newly renovated dormitories at the student city in Tirana. Today, alongside representatives from the German embassy, KfW, and Albanian authorities, we proudly inaugurated five newly renovated dormitories. These modern, energy-efficient buildings set a new standard by providing EU-compliant accommodations. And this is just the beginning, as this project aims to enhance 14 more dormitories, benefiting over 2,600 students in total.

This initiative will make dorms 40% more energy-efficient, cutting CO₂ emissions by over 3,000 tons every year. #TeamEurope🇪🇺🇩🇪 in action, building a greener and more sustainable future for Albania🇦🇱.

Good news! @CEFTA_ bodies just decided to change the Rules of procedure and also successfully adopted 11 decisions. Looking forward to a successful #BerlinProcess Summit next week. @rccint @EU_Commission #westernbalkans

[Annalena Baerbock @ABaerbockArchiv]

Der #WestlicheBalkan rückt weiter zusammen. Im #BerlinProzess konnten wir gemeinsam den Knoten beim Freihandelsabkommen #CEFTA lösen. Damit machen wir den Weg frei für konkrete Verbesserungen für die Menschen vor Ort. Und stärken unser gemeinsames #Europa.

[German Embassy Pristina @GermanAmbKOS]

One year ago, @Kosovo_Police officer Afrim Bunjaku was killed in Banjska. His sacrifice won't be forgotten. Yet Radoičić, the alleged perpetrator, remains free in 🇷🇸 despite admitting guilt. This lack of accountability undermines peace. Justice must be served- w/o delay or excuse
