Letter of congratulations from Nickolay Mladenov on the occasion of the National Day of Albania and the centenary of its independence
A hundred years ago, your ancestors won the independence of Albania, to ensure the future of its people. Today you are working for the prosperity of your country in the EU. These were the words that Bulgarian Foreign Minister Nickolay Mladenov addressed to his Albanian counterpart Edmond Panariti on the occasion of Albania’s national holiday and the 100th anniversary of its independence.
In the letter, Bulgaria’s Foreign Minister expressed his confidence that Albania’s government would take all the steps necessary to accelerate the process of its European integration. "We are close friends, partners and allies in the region. Once again I want to emphasise that Albania can count on Bulgaria’s support for its European perspectives,” Minister Mladenov said.
