Albania hails Slovakia's support for its European integration

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on Friday appreciated Slovakia's support for Tirana's efforts to join the European Union (EU).

"Albania has been lucky to enjoy everlasting and unwavering support from Slovakia on its path toward European integration," Rama told a joint press conference with Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico.

Rama also thanked Fico for continuously encouraging the EU-mediated dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.

"The agreement between Kosovo and Serbia is one of the most important events toward a new era in our region," said Rama.

The two countries have agreed to establish a joint working group through which Slovakia will help Albania carry out reforms and improve governance, said Rama.

• Fico, who is on his first official visit to Albania, said that Slovakia will offer Albania its experience on its EU integration process and help Albania fulfil its justified ambition of joining the EU.

On bilateral cooperation between their countries, Fico saw business and investment opportunities in Albania, particularly in tourism.

• "Albania has hundreds of kilometers of coastline with magnificent beaches and it can be an excellent destination for the Slovak tourists," he said.
