TIRANA – Albanian Parliament ratified the agreement on the establishment of the Western Balkans Fund.
“The adoption of this agreement is a clear and important step which confirms the increasing role of our country in terms of regional foreign policy. Moreover, it reaffirms the importance of Albania with regard to the regional cooperation process, which not only normalizes the climate of political and economic relations in our region, but also has a direct impact in bringing all our countries closer to the European Union or the Euro-Atlantic family” – Minister Bushati stated during the presentation of this agreement at the Parliament.
The Fund is an international body established by the governments of the Western Balkan countries, with a view to boost cooperation between member states, strengthen relations, advance integration into the European Union and promote common values among citizens, civil society and regional institutions, by providing a concrete approach at “people-to-people” level for member countries.
