According to them, the US-EU partnership provides continuous support for Albania's journey towards a more democratic, safer and prosperous future.

" Justice that treats everyone equally is essential. This is something we all agree on and it is crucial ," said David Wisner, the US chargé d'affaires in Tirana.
According to the EU ambassador, when each of the steps is fulfilled, there is a certain amount of money that is spent in the interest of Albania. He added that the membership process is long and requires a lot of work. “ You may have put in a lot of effort, and the benefits are difficult to manage. The more you move towards the EU, the more countries will integrate economically. To tell the truth, Albania is still an isolated market. We must promote the economic cooperation of the Balkan countries first ", said Gonzato.
While the US ambassador said that their work in our country focuses on defense, democracy and business. He also stopped at justice. " We have been focused on justice reform and we have seen extraordinary progress in justice. The war in Ukraine has changed many things. It is imperative that the Western Balkans be part of the EU. The growth plan is a great symbol because it has the potential to bring enormous progress and will increase the Balkans' steps towards the EU ," Wisner emphasized.
