The Portuguese diplomat brings extensive experience in European diplomacy. Before her appointment in Tirana, she headed the European Commission Representation in Portugal. Earlier in her career, she served as the European Union ambassador to Cape Verde.
Her appointment comes as Albania’s relations with the European Union and the country’s European integration process remain key issues on the political and diplomatic agenda.
