“I am very pleased with today’s meeting with the French Minister for European Affairs, Benjamin Haddad, with whom we held a substantial discussion, particularly regarding the European Union enlargement process, the situation in the Western Balkans, and the importance of regional cooperation.
The dynamics of relations between Albania and France have never been richer, stronger, or more promising.
