TIRANA, Aug 7 /ATA/ – Prime Minister Edi Rama shared Sunday a photo gallery featuring the past week’s main highlights and political activities.
On August 1, Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Spain Pedro Sánchez Pérez-Castejón paid an official visit to Albania.
Speaking at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister Edi Rama, Spanish government head stated that Albania enjoys Spain’s profound and firm support as the country advances and delivers on the reforms on the path towards its EU accession. Sánchez pointed out that “it has been a long and much-desired journey. I acknowledge Albania’s patience and solidarity and reiterate that, as in the past, Albania will continue to enjoy Spain’s support in its reform process and in making accession to the Union a reality in the near future.”
The tender for construction of the Milot-Fier highway, part of the Adriatic–Ionian motorway or the Blue Corridor, also part of the European Connectivity Network – or the highway connecting Montenegro, Albania with Greece on the south and with Croatia on the north and the Mediterranean Ring – also was launched last week. The project will significantly improve connectivity with Kosovo, and will shorten distance and drive time between Albania’s north and south.
A special meeting took place at the Ministry of Infrastructure and Energy to launch tender on several sections of this Corridor. Local government representatives, business community representatives and tourism operators attended the meeting.
Addressing the gathering, Prime Minister Edi Rama underlined that Blue Corridor will directly serve all the areas the route traverses and it will spur development of Albania’s tourism and agriculture.
Adriatic–Ionian motorway or the Blue Corridor is part of the 1560-km long Mediterranean Corridor, is a regional and European infrastructure project with immense direct impact on the country’s further economic and social transformation, and movement along the longest Mediterranean ring.
