The President of the Assembly, Lindita Nikolla, today received the EU Ambassador, Christiane Hohmann, on the occasion of the end of her mission in Albania.

Nikola thanked Ambassador Hohmann for the excellent cooperation with the Assembly and institutions of Albania.

“You served in Albania for less than a year, immediately after the decision to open negotiations, but the good things we built together go beyond the limits of one year. The EU Delegation in Tirana and you personally contributed to the success of the screening process. As it was established during yesterday’s meeting of the National Council of European Integration and the 16th Meeting of the EU-Albania Association Stabilization Parliamentary Committee, Albania is advancing with fast and determined steps towards the EU and is leading the processes of cooperation and regional integration. As the chairman of the Berlin Process for 2023, Albania contributes as a factor for stability, peace and Europeanization of the region”, said Nikolla.

Ambassador Christiane Hohmann thanked Nikola for the open cooperation with the Assembly and appreciated the role of the Assembly in facing the challenges of integration, underlining that Albania has all the potentials and opportunities for fast membership in the EU. I am leaving Albania, leaving here a part of myself and taking a part of Albania with me, said Ambassador Hohmann.
