Minister Xhaçka praised the role of the Holy See and the Church for initiatives and implementation of various projects during the transition period in Albania, while expressing the will to create further opportunities for sharing experience in the field of restoration and conservation of cultural heritage and religious sites.

According to her, the cooperation and fruitful dialogue of Albanian authorities with the religious communities and the Catholic community serve the cohesion between the secular and religious institutions and the community.

“Albania’s relations with the Vatican are important and go beyond institutional relations; they are spiritual and inspiring to Albanians.

As Pope Francis emphasized during his visit in 2014, Albania is a country of religious brotherhood. Harmonious coexistence between different religions is a historical legacy. In this regard, our country serves as a unique model of inter-religious harmony, for which we actively work to preserve and promote, ” the Minister said during the meeting.
