Albania and Kosovo – Common Ties, Common Issues

Abstract

Sharing the same language, culture, and except for the last hundred years, history, Albania and Kosovo are closely tied to each other. With common symbols, history, and geography, the two states have had to build new ways of cooperation in the new millennium, especially in the field of transportation, energy, and tourism. The two societies keep each other in high esteem, there is a social will for further cooperation, as well as a common commitment to European integration, which is even preferred over national integration, as it is obvious that in the twenty-first century it is the European Union that can offer a national union for Albanian people.
