Gonzato praised the three years he spent in Albania and thanked the citizens he met throughout his mission.

He said the EU Delegation worked to support reforms and encouraged all actors to participate in the country’s European journey.

Gonzato emphasized the importance of building a society where institutions protect citizens’ rights and young people contribute to shaping Albania’s future.

He concluded his message by saying Albania would always remain close to his heart and expressed hope of seeing the country become part of the European Union.
