Prime Minister Rama published on his social media account highlights from this meeting, where he can be seen exchanging occasional gifts, according to the official protocol.

On Monday, Rama is paying a visit to The Hague, where earlier he was received in official meetings by the President of the International Criminal Court, Piotr Hofmański, Chancellor Pieter Lewis, as well as with the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan.

Thanking the top ICJ representatives for the reception, Prime Minister Rama also spoke about the outstanding issue between Albania and Greece:

“Albania sticks to the idea that filing the case of maritime zones with Greece to the International Court of Justice to be settled in accordance with the legal principles serves the interest of both parties. But, before taking this step, we must reach the necessary agreement to take this case to the ICJ, and this agreement has not been reached yet. As you may know, this is not simply a procedure of agreement between the lawyers and technical experts of each party. Our respective teams at the relevant ministries are working and we remain committed to moving in this direction.”

At the end of the meeting, Prime Minister Rama also visited the premises of the Court and got acquainted with a brief history of the institution.
