The Chairman of the DP parliamentary group, Gazment Bardhi, met in the US with the Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Envoy for the Western Balkans Alexander "Sasha" Kasanof during his visit to the US Department of State.
In his post on social media, Bardhi says Albania as a NATO country must guarantee free and fair elections, as well as work with determination to become part of the EU.
"At the US Department of State. During the visit to Washington DC, together with a delegation from the Albanian Parliament, we held a meeting at the State Department with the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State and Envoy for the Western Balkans, Mr. Alexander "Sasha" Kasanof. The US remains our key ally and Albanians are fortunate to have always had them by our side. Albania, as a NATO member, must adhere to the standards of a democratic country, starting with guarantees for free and fair elections, and work with determination to become part of the EU."
This is the first visit of an Albanian delegation to the State Department after the changes in the US government and the arrival of Donald Trump as President and Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the State Department. (A2 Televizion)
