While the Greek Foreign Ministry has received authorization from the President to negotiate with Albanian, the Albanian Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs has received a request from the President, who wants to know the names of the Albanian negotiators.

The Albanian Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs said they are waiting for the authorization, but he refused to comment the decision of the President.

“I will not comment the President’s actions. We will start working as soon as the authorization will arrive. I requested authorization to act based on the law for international agreement. I didn’t ask plenipotentiary authorization. After the negotiations are over, the President should issue an authorization for signing the agreement. The third step of the President’s role, is the moment when the agreement is signed in Parliament and the President has the right to decide if he will decree the agreement or not”,  Bushati said.

Sources from the presidency say that the President has sent a request to the Foreign Minister, to get informed about the names of the negotiators.
