Will the agreement with Italy on immigrants be renewed? / Hoxha answers
Foreign Minister Ferit Hoxha

Foreign Minister Ferit Hoxha has responded to a journalist's question in Brussels about whether Italy's agreement with Albania on migrants will be renewed.

Hoxha expressed uncertainty about this, assuming that by then Albania will be a member state of the European Union and the situation, therefore, will be different.

The Minister emphasized that this statement should in no way be interpreted as a change in Albania's position regarding the protocol.

“A journalist in Brussels asked me if the protocol between Albania and Italy would be renewed after the end of the initial five-year period.

I responded by saying: “I’m not sure, assuming that by then Albania will be a member state of the European Union and the situation will, therefore, be different.”

It was that simple. It wasn't a decision, but simply a momentary reflection, expressed with sincerity and spontaneity.

This statement should in no way be interpreted as a change in Albania's position regarding the protocol.

Unfortunately, in today's world, noise often spreads faster than argument, logic, and context.

"Expressions taken out of context very often turn into narratives that reflect neither the essence of the discussion nor the real stance of governments," Hoxha writes./ CNA
