October 21st was chosen as the Albanian-German Cooperation Day for
Development. The German Embassy, in cooperation with GIZ and KFW, held
an activity titled “Together towards EU”.

The German Ambassador to Albania, Helmut Hofmann, underlined that this cooperation started 26 years ago. Now it is consolidated and fruitful for millions of Albanians.

The Ambassador illustrated this activity with a German expression, which says: “Do the right things and talk about them”. The Prime Minister started it with a comment regarding the developments after the Serbia-Albania football match.

“I want to say some very sincere words about the cooperation between Albania and Germany, by thanking the author of the logo, who seems very inspired by the Serbia-Albania match. Although the drone is missing, you can tell the two flags waving while being connected with each other. If we want to enter faster in the EU, we must focus as a team and we must not put obstacles to each other. We must not think or imagine that we could go far by making own goals and claiming that it was a goal against the other side”, Rama declared.

The commitment of Germany in the region, and especially that of Chancellor, Angela Merkel, puts us towards double responsibilities in this partnership.

“The cooperation with Germany, since 1988, has brought 1 billion EUR of investments to Albania and have been used for improving the priority systems. These are direct contributions through this cooperation and Germany has influenced in the positive progress for as long as there has been such”, Rama added.

As for the current projects between Albania and Germany, Rama valued the aid with professional education as very positive.
