Spiker Topalli in Beirut, Lebanon, lobbies for Kosovo

The Albanian Parliament Speaker, Jozefina Topalli, who is attending an official visit in Lebanon, asked the authorities of this country to recognize the independence of Kosovo.

This is the main goal of the Parliament Speaker in Lebanon, who, in her second day in Beirut, met the Lebanese Prime Minister, Najib Mikati. The Parliament Speaker declared that Kosovo is a unique case and that Albania supports the theory for not changing the borders in Balkan.

Kosovo has been recognized by 87 countries, and Spokesperson Topalli expressed the opinion of official Tirana that the Kosovo recognition by Lebanon would be a very important contribution from a Middle East country. Topalli defended this request even during the meetings with the Lebanese President, Mishel Slejman, and her homologue, Namih Berri.

According to Topalli, now is the time that Lebanon becomes the 88th country that recognizes the Kosovo independence, as the other Arab league countries and those from the Persian Golf. During her visit in Beirut, Topalli and the Lebanese authorities agreed to sign all necessary agreements for consolidating the economic relations between the countries. The Lebanese Prime Minister confirmed that he will attend a visit in Tirana, together with a group of investors, and will sign with the Albanian PM, Sali Berisha, some agreements that would facilitate the Lebanese investors in Albania.
