Commenting on the statement of Albania’s Prime Minister, Mr Edi Rama, on “Schengen borders among Montenegro, Albania, North Macedonia and Kosovo“, Montenegro’s Internal Affairs Minister, Mr Mevludin Nuhodžić, told Montenegro and Albania have excellent friendly and good neighborly relations, but that this topic will be possible to be speak of when the Western Balkan countries adopt standards and have relations that exist among the Schengen countries.
“Ten years ago (2009) Montenegro and Albania opened a joint road border crossing Sukobin – Murićani, with the possibility of taking joint controls. Some other countries from the region did it almost a decade afterwards. But this was not all. In the second half of 2018, after the joint session of the two governments, we signed the Agreement on opening the joint border crossing Ckla – Zogaj,” told Minister Nuhodžić in response to yesterday’s statement of Albania’s PM given at a joint press conference with the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, Mr Zoran Zaev.
When it comes to faster and simpler border crossings, Mr Nuhodžić added that security of the citizens and state should come first.
