" Happy to meet my Greek counterpart, Foreign Minister Nikos Dendias. We had a constructive discussion on all aspects of Albania-Greece relations. Grateful to Foreign Minister Dendia for his personal role in deepening and expanding the partnership between our countries and the determined support for the integration of Albania and the Western Balkans.

We share the same vision and desire for the future of our relationship and the region as a whole, and we are committed to working together to find ways to engage constructively for the good of our people and the region . Xhačka on Twitter.

Protothema writes that in the framework of the bilateral meeting, a political discussion was held on the issue of the delimitation of the exclusive economic zone between the two countries, in the framework of the principle agreement between Albania and Greece to take the case to the International Court of Justice in The Hague.

Referring to international principles, the limitation of the exclusive economic zone, also known as the continental shelf, between states with opposite or adjacent coasts will be done by agreement based on international law, as mentioned in Article 38 of the Statute of the International Court of Justice, with the aim of reaching an equitable solution.

Also, in the Xhaçka-Dendia discussions, the European perspective of the Western Balkans was examined, within the framework of the EU-Western Balkans Summit, which will take place in Tirana.
