Speech of the ambassador Arben Çejku<br />

We do believe that good neighborhood and the regional cooperation should<br />

be of great help to improve the interethnic and inter religious relations. Albania<br />

has always supported the legal solutions of its neighbors. It has been among the<br />

first countries to recognize the independence of Macedonia.<br />

We did this not simply because of the fact that Albanians live here and are<br />

the second state building population but because we were aware that by doing<br />

this, we contribute to peace and stability in the region.<br />

We did the same for the other republics from Former Yugoslavia; some of<br />

them now are NATO and EU members. Kosovo’s independence closed the cycle of<br />

the dissolution of Yugoslavia and secured the long term peace and stability in our<br />

region.<br />

By wishing all the success to this conference I would like to reiterate once<br />

more that the sooner the Ohrid Agreement will be fully implemented it will<br />

guarantee peace, stability in Macedonia and the region beyond. Albania will<br />

encourage and support all the factors in Macedonia to cooperate and work in this<br />

direction.<br />
