The European Union Ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, guaranteed continued support for Albania’s law enforcement agencies.
He held a meeting with Albania’s new Interior Minister, Ervin Hoxha, with whom they discussed areas of cooperation and their expansion.
According to Gonzato, during the meeting, the parties agreed that the rule of law is fundamental for the EU accession process.
Additionally, Ambassador Gonzato and Minister Hoxha discussed the close partnership between the European Union and Albania, focusing on important issues such as the role of the police, the reuse of confiscated assets, migration, and visa alignment.
“The European Union remains committed to providing continuous support for law enforcement agencies,” said EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato.
The EU’s assistance for law enforcement in Albania began in 2002 and has operated within the framework of the assistance that the EU has provided to Albania in the field of law enforcement and public security and order.
