With the decision to open the first chapters for membership in the European family, Albania's integration into the European Union from today began a new and decisive chapter.

We rejoice in this achievement of Albania! Congratulations to the Albanian people and government! I want them without the obstacles and progress based on meritocracy and the fulfillment of reforms that benefit citizens and the country first.

The European Union has a common goal with Albania, not only as a goal of membership, but also as the value of our democratic societies, well-being for our citizens and orientation of our two states. By this route that Albania is starting today, it will undoubtedly benefit our Kosovo in the learning and experience with which we are even closer to Albania and the European Union.
