EU announcement

 

Today, together with Austria, we launched a new initiative to protect Albania's coastal areas. We are expanding the EU4Rivers project, which will now also focus on how we can promote clean waters, from river sources to the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.

“Protecting the marine environment is not just about nature; it is an investment in our health and the economy. With the Law on the Strategy for the Protection of the Marine Environment, Albania has adopted very ambitious standards, in line with EU legislation. The real challenge now is implementation. Through EU4Rivers, we want to help Albania turn legislation into concrete results, meaning cleaner waters, safer food and sustainable jobs, so that coastal communities can thrive,” said EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato in his speech.
