PM Sanader: Croatia to Abolish Visas to Albania

More Croatian companies are investing in Albania, amongst others, Koncar and Dalekovod, and they plan on a joint nuclear power-plant.

Croatia will cancel visas to Albania this year, announced the Croatian premier Ivo Sanader on Tuesday, after a conversation with the president of the Albanian Cabinet Sali Berisha.

“Will we cancel visas? Yes. When? I cannot say at this moment, but it will certainly be this year” said Sanader, answering questions to the Albanian journalists.

The Albanian premier Berisha, who is on an official visit to Croatia, said how important the agreements signed on Tuesday are for the future cooperation between the two cabinets.

Special attention to energy

The two premiers stated that during their talks, they spent special attention to energy, on a very specific cooperation for the project of the trans-Adriatic pipeline (TAP), which would go from Iran and the Caspian region over Albania and the Adriatic to Italy.

Joint lobby

Croatia would, as they plan, connect to that link in Albania

“Today we decided to perform together, and to lobby for that project together” said Berisha in a statement for the press.
