TIRANA, Oct 16 /ATA/ The Berlin Process Summit will kick off today in Tirana.
The Albania’s Prime Minister Edi Rama is welcoming the regional and the EU leaders on the red carpet laid in front of the Prime Minister’s Office on “Dëshmorët e Kombit” Boulevard.
The Berlin Process Summit, which is being held for the first time in the region and specifically in Tirana, will bring together today all the leaders of the Balkan countries, the member states of the European Union and the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
The Berlin Process is aimed at revitalizing the multilateral ties between EU candidate and potential candidate countries of the former Yugoslavia and Albania and selected EU member states, and at improving regional cooperation in those countries on the issues of infrastructure and economic development.
It started with the 2014 Berlin Conference, which was followed by the 2015 Vienna Summit, the 2016 Paris Summit, the 2017 Trieste Summit, the 2018 London Summit and the 2019 Poznań Summit.
The Berlin Process was initiated in order to consolidate and maintain the dynamics of the EU integration process in light of increased euroscepticism and the five-year moratorium on enlargement announced by Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.//a.i/
