TIRANA, May 8/ATA / – Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz held Monday a meeting with his Albanian counterpart in Tirana in the light of Albania’s efforts in the EU integration path., “Radio Poland” writes.
According to the Polish foreign ministry, Czaputowicz’s working visit to Albania confirms that Poland wants good bilateral trade and defence ties.
“It also proves our appreciation for Albania’s successful efforts to open accession negotiations with the European Union,” the Polish foreign ministry said in a statement.
A report by the European Commission on the future enlargement of the bloc released last month “contains an unconditional recommendation for the member states to open accession negotiations with Albania, which Poland strongly supports,” the ministry said.
During his visit, Czaputowicz and Albanian Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Ditmir Bushati were set to jointly open a conference during which Poland will share its experience of preparing to join the European Union, which it did in 2004.
