ABC News – “Summit, Cooperation Agreement” / Deliu: Albania, an important Partner for the EU – May 15, 2025

In an interview with ABC News, Nirvana Deliu stated that the visit of the British Prime Minister to Albania demonstrates that Albania is an important partner of the European Union. The issues discussed are challenging not only for Albania but for the entire continent, including the United Kingdom, which has historically faced delicate matters in managing border security.

The organization of a high-level summit in Tirana, such as the European Political Community Summit, is to be commended, as previous summits have typically been held in EU member states. Among the participants will be high-level representatives from international organizations, including NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte, as well as EU institutional leaders such as Ursula von der Leyen, Roberta Metsola, and Antonio Costa.

Regarding the parliamentary elections scheduled for May 11, 2025, Deliu emphasized the importance of setting a standard, as electoral processes are one of the key criteria monitored by the EU and play a significant role in determining the progress of the negotiation process.
