“Discussions with my colleague the Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ditmir Bushati, began yesterday morning. We will continue the discussions tomorrow, before flying to Brussels, where the EU Foreign Affairs Council will be meeting.
We are discussing open issues, as we want to resolve them today so that we can develop prospects for tomorrow. In parallel to this very intensive and continuous work, we decided to visit the site where Zeus was born and to where he abducted the beautiful Europa.
It is in Europe’s birthplace, essentially, that my colleague the Albanian Minister of Foreign Affairs and I are working. We want Albania, too, to become a member state of the EU.
It was an honour to be welcomed by the Mayor and the residents. Our guests will be visiting the Cave of Zeus. Afterwards, we will supper here on the plateau and then return to continue our talks”.
