While Montenegro organizes an emergency flight for its citizens, Albanian diplomacy has not yet provided a clear public plan for Albanians in the tense region...
Montenegro's decision to organize an evacuation flight from Egypt for its citizens sheds light on a broader regional issue: the willingness of Balkan states to protect their citizens in times of international crisis.
At a time when tensions in the Middle East have escalated and regional security is fragile, Podgorica has chosen to act preventively, offering a safe corridor of return for citizens in the area. It is a political message as much as a consular one: the state is present.
What about Tirana?
Up to this stage, there is no clear public announcement from the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs of Albania regarding concrete evacuation measures or an emergency plan for Albanians who may be in Egypt or other countries affected by tensions.
In an era of rapid crises and unexpected conflicts, institutional silence is not neutrality; it is a lack of transparency.
It is true that the number of Albanian citizens in risk areas may be limited. But modern diplomacy does not function solely on the basis of statistics; it functions on the basis of the perception of security and civic trust. A public communication, even to clarify the situation and preparedness, is the expected minimum.
The comparison with Montenegro is inevitable. A state with smaller administrative and financial capacities is demonstrating rapid institutional reflexes. Albania, a NATO member and aspiring for deeper European integration, should be at the same level of reaction, if not higher.
In diplomacy, the information vacuum is filled with speculation. And in our region, where every global crisis is immediately reflected in public opinion, the lack of an official position can be perceived as indifference.
The question is not whether there is panic. The question is whether there is a plan. In times of international crisis, citizens expect a vigilant state, not an administration that seems to react only after others have acted.
If Podgorica gave its signal, now it is Tirana's turn to clarify publicly: is everything under control, or has there simply been no alarm yet? In diplomacy, silence is rarely a winning strategy./ Pamphlet
