Although the European Commission doesn’t have a risk analyze for a
possible passage of refugees from Albania to Italy, this issue and the
justice reform are the purposes of the visit that the EU High
Representative, Federica Mogherini, will attend in Tirana today. She is
expected to meet with Prime Minister, Foreign Minister, President and
representatives of other parties.

“The main discussion will be based on the bilateral relations and the recent developments, regarding the European perspective of Albania. We welcomed last December the voting of the law for decriminalization from all Albanian political forces, and the focus now is on its implementation and the passing of the sub-legal acts.

It is very important to see the implementation of this law, since it is a signal to bring more trust to citizens and to the state integrity, but also for the proper functionality of institutions.

I expect them to mention the reform issue as well as the crisis of migration and refugees, as part of our intensive dialogue. I am sure that the High Representative has a message to Albania, and will do it personally”, Kocijancic declared.
