In a posting on social media, Gjiknuri emphasizes that the meeting focused on integration-related issues and Albania’s journey towards the EU.

“It is always a pleasure to meet Martin Schulz, a friend of mine and staunch supporter of Albania, currently President of the “Friedrich Ebert Stiftung.” I thanked him for the cooperation and support that the foundation has given to the Socialist Party. We discussed the issues of the European Union integration, Albania’s path and the challenges facing the European Union,” said Gjiknuri.

Earlier, the number two of the SP held a working meeting in Berlin with the Secretary of State at the Ministry of Economic Cooperation, Niels Annen.

“We dwelt on bilateral cooperation, Germany’s support, internal developments and Albania’s role in regional politics. We received assurance that Germany fully supports Albania’s integration into the European Union and will continue its contribution to the regional integration process through EU and bilateral mechanisms, investments aimed at regional connectivity,” said Gjiknuri.
