Begaj, meeting with the president of Estonia/ Topics of discussion are revealed

The President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, held a meeting today with his Estonian counterpart, Alar Karis.

In a joint press statement, Begaj announced that one of the topics of discussion was the integration of Albania.

"I thanked the President of Estonia for standing by us and continuing to stand by us in the EU integration process.

Integration into the big European family is our main strategic objective. Last year, Albania held the First Intergovernmental Conference with the European Union, thanks to the support of Estonia.

I am confident that the Second Intergovernmental Conference will be held this year, again through your support. The integration not only of Albania, but of the entire Western Balkans region in the EU, would be an extraordinary guarantee for a stabilized and prosperous future of the entire region.

In this context, I assessed that Estonia has played and continues to play its supporting role for a more stabilized and developed Western Balkans. This is very important, especially in the new geopolitical context and in the global security situation we are in today", he said.

The Head of State stated that other topics of discussion are related to Russia's aggression in Ukraine and NATO membership.

"We specifically focused on the brutal and unjustified Russian aggression against Ukraine, which brought to Europe the turbulent winds of a yesterday that we thought we had left behind.

Albania, from the beginning, has strongly condemned this aggression.  

I underlined the fact that the vision of NATO shown so far in dealing with this situation and the recent expansion of the Alliance with Finland showed that we are stronger than ever, more united and more determined than ever to protect the values ??of her.

I am convinced that this will be shown clearly and with the fastest possible accession of Sweden as well as at the NATO Summit that will be held very soon right next to Estonia, in Vilnius, Lithuania.

I also wanted to emphasize the participation of our troops in NATO missions in general and in the multinational NATO battalion in Latvia in particular, which best reflect Albania's active role as a NATO member state.

How we respond together to the current security challenges will determine what the future will be like for our continent and the world in the decades to come. That's why I'm glad that we shared the same approach with the President of Estonia in how we should face these challenges. We can only face the complex security challenges together", emphasized Begaj./ CNA.al
