The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, attended the Ministers of Foreign Affairs of the South East European Cooperation Process meeting (SEECP), held in Budva, Montenegro.

Minister Xhaçka emphasized that Albania remains actively committed and a significant contributor to the SEECP.

“There is a need for a reliable and predictable path to the EU. The countries of the region have a responsibility to be committed to dialogue and to strengthen our cooperation. We also need the EU to maintain the new momentum of the enlargement process through concrete actions. This year, Albania leads the Berlin Process and we are fully convinced that the next Summit in Tirana will bring tangible results in creating a more effective economic cohesion in the region”, she said.

North Macedonia will chair next SEECP, while Albania will chair SEECP for the period 2024-2025.

The SEECP presidency is important given that this is the most important political forum in South-Eastern Europe that includes countries of strategic importance for Albania
