President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, arrived on Tuesday in Tirana as part of a diplomatic tour across six Western Balkan countries ahead of the EU–Western Balkans Summit scheduled for June 5 in Tivat, Montenegro.
Costa was received at the Prime Minister’s Office by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama, with whom he is holding an official meeting.
The summit comes six months after the previous one held in Brussels, underscoring the continued strengthening of relations between the European Union and Western Balkan countries.
Following the meeting between the two delegations, Rama and Costa are expected to hold a joint press conference.
As part of the visit, the delegations led by Rama and Costa will also hold bilateral talks, after which the two leaders will address the media, focusing on key discussion topics and regional developments.
