Bulgaria supports the European future of the Republic of Albania because it is an important factor for the security and stability not only of the region, but of the whole of Europe. This message was delivered by Vice President Iliana Iotova during her meetings in Tirana with President Bajram Begay, Deputy Prime Minister Belinda Balluku, Speaker of Parliament Lindita Nikolla and Interior Minister Taulant Balla. She pointed out that European membership will create many opportunities for the future of the two peoples.
