In an official ceremony, Sanna Marin met Rama and the ministers of the Albanian government.<\/p>\n
In her tour of meetings in the region, Prime Minister Sanna Marin will visit Montenegro, northern Macedonia, Albania and Croatia.<\/p>\n
The topics of discussion with the governments of the Western Balkans are the application made by Finland for NATO membership, the strengthening of NATO security and the future tasks of NATO. The EU membership processes of Albania, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro are also being discussed.<\/p>\n
A few days ago, with the decision of the government, Albania gave the green light to NATO enlargement, with the membership of Sweden and Finland.<\/p>\n
“We approved in principle the protocols of NATO accession in Sweden and Finland. We have formally agreed to the enlargement of the Alliance and the inclusion of these two countries. These are protocols that are then passed for ratification in the Assembly. When this procedure is approved in the 230 parliaments of NATO member countries, de jure accession to the North Atlantic Treaty will be possible for these two countries. The final step is the deposit of the instrument of membership with the US government in the capacity of the depository country of this treaty. It is an important development that strengthens security and cooperation between the US and the EU as well as NATO and the EU. It is a development that comes as a direct consequence of Russian aggression in Ukraine<\/em>“, Said the Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xha\u00e7ka.<\/p>\n \n<\/p>\n top channel
