Abazović, Peleshi: Policy of peace and cooperation needs to be promoted

We want to promote the policy of peace and cooperation between the two countries and beyond, but also to make a personal contribution to improving the situation in the Balkans, said Deputy Prime Minister Dritan Abazović at a meeting with Minister of Defense of the Republic of Albania Niko Peleshi.

Congratulating Minister Peleshi on his appointment, DPM Abazović pointed out that the relations between the two countries are very good, and that they are based on the principles of friendship and cooperation, strengthened by NATO partnership, common goals in regional policy and the European perspective.

Minister of Defense of the Republic of Albania Niko Peleshi emphasised that the size of the states in the system of collective security is not important, but their commitment and readiness to contribute to the security system is important.

Peleshi emphasised Albania's unequivocal commitment to a stable region of the Western Balkans, proven through significant cooperation with NATO in many areas.

The meeting noted that Montenegro and Albania have developed, constructive political and practical cooperation within NATO, as well as regional security initiatives. The two officials agreed that relations between Montenegro and Albania are characterised by good neighbourly and friendly cooperation and that the two countries achieve continuous political dialogue by participating in numerous regional organisations and initiatives.
