MCN TV & Fax News – Gjipali: The capacities to absorb EU funds must be built, otherwise we lose competition, 13 March 2024

The Executive Director of the European Movement in Albania, Gledis Gjipali, was invited to MCN TV and Fax News to share his viewpoint on the allocation of approximately one billion euros from the EU to Albania and the Western Balkans. Gjipali pointed out the significance of this financial assistance, highlighting it as an important and helpful new instrument that will be applied to the Western Balkans. He put an emphasis on the importance of continuously enhancing Albania’s administrative capabilities, because if we encounter difficulties in the management of funds, it could lead to reallocation to other countries. Gjipali urged the immediate need to strengthen this sector to ensure effective absorption of the funds, as many organizations and foundations currently face limitations in this regard. Additionally, Gjipali addressed the comparatively lesser image-related issues in Albania compared to other countries in the Western Balkans, where negative perceptions persist.
