Only when we are strongly connected, we can open to our neighbors without being in danger\u201d, he said.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kurti, the Albanian people are pro-Western and strong allies of the United States and the European Union. He also said that tackling corruption is an \u201curgent task\u201d in order to pave the way to economic development.<\/p>\n<p>The head of Kosovo\u2019s executive said that the \u201cregion will win security and long-term stability only when condemning and isolating criminals\u201d and that \u201cAlbanian politicians should refrain from collaborating with crime\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe good times are coming for the Albanian people and our neighbors, because our main allies are more than ever determined to help us in our fight for justice and democracy, but also against Russian and Chinese interference in our countries and in the region. I am sure that Albanians, wherever they live in the Balkans, will not lose this crucial historical moment\u201d, declared Kurti.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/08\/12\/economic-growth-mustnt-remain-hostage-to-nationalism-says-expert\/\">Economic growth mustn\u2019t remain hostage to nationalism, says expert<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/08\/12\/former-pm-haradinaj-im-forced-to-protect-the-fields-from-my-brother-edi-rama\/\">Former PM Haradinaj: I\u2019m forced to protect the fields from my brother, Edi Rama<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/07\/30\/open-balkan-initiative-conveys-a-dangerous-message-says-deputy-premier\/\">Open Balkan initiative conveys a dangerous message, says deputy premier<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kosovo\u2019s Prime Minister Albin Kurti has called for creating more solid ties with Albania during an event marking the &#8220;100th anniversary &#8211; Hasan Prishtina Prime Minister of Albania&#8221;, in Skopje.
