Kosovo’s Prime Minister, Albin Kurti, shared photos and details on Facebook from his meeting this Sunday with Albania’s Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Ferit Hoxha.
During the meeting, Kurti emphasized that relations between Kosovo and Albania are excellent and that cooperation between the two countries is essential.
According to him, coordination and joint action between Pristina and Tirana should not be viewed as a political choice, but rather as a national obligation.
“I was honored to welcome in a brotherly meeting the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Albania, Ferit Hoxha.
Relations between Kosovo and Albania are excellent; they are relations between two states of the same nation. Therefore, coordination and cooperation are not a choice but a national duty.
In addition to bilateral relations, Minister Hoxha and I discussed regional and international cooperation, as well as the Euro-Atlantic integration of our countries,” Kurti wrote.
Earlier in Pristina, during a meeting with his counterpart Glauk Konjufca, Hoxha stated that Kosovo is a priority of Albania’s foreign policy.
The minister stressed that developments in Kosovo are of direct importance to Albania due to the close and inseparable ties between the two countries, adding that the progress of Kosovo and Albania goes hand in hand.
“I have come here today to convey what Prime Minister Rama has clearly emphasized: whoever touches Kosovo, touches Albania. We agreed that the geopolitical dynamics in the region and across Europe require further intensification of intergovernmental and diplomatic coordination,” Hoxha said.
