The Greek Foreign Ministry expressed its concern for the inclusion of
the Cham Party, the Party for Justice, Unity and Integration (PJIU), in
the Albanian government. The news was given by the Spokesperson for the
Greek Foreign Ministry, Grigoris Delavekuras.

According to Delavekuras, Athens is following closely the political developments in our country and the inclusion in government of the party that has expressed concerning stances against Greece falls against Albania’s European Road.

“The composition of the Albanian Government is an interior matter and as such it is not up to us to comment it. PJIU has expressed stances that are concerning for Greece and that fall against the EU integration spirit of Albania. We have been guaranteed by the Prime Minister and the Foreign Ministry in Tirana that Albania desires good relations with Greece”, he added.

“This is the moment in which Albania must show if this is true and if these relations can continue with the same positive climate. Greece is determined to help Albania in its European road. Athens is an ally of Albania in this process. Certainly, the Greek minority is a very good connecting bridge between the two countries, whose rights are one of the criteria for the integration”, the Greek Foreign Ministry concluded.
