Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Elisa Spiropali met in the U.S. Congress with Congressman Keith Self.

Self chairs the Subcommittee on Europe and initiated the “Presheva Valley Discrimination Assessment Act.”

The bill calls on the U.S. Department of State to monitor and report on the treatment of Albanians in the Presheva Valley.

During the meeting, Spiropali said the initiative marks an important step. It helps internationalize the serious issues faced by Albanians in the Presheva Valley and address them through institutions.

“Albania remains committed to protecting the rights of Albanians wherever they live, in cooperation with our allies,” Spiropali stated.

Spiropali will continue her visit to Washington with meetings at the U.S. Department of State and with several policy think tanks focused on recent global developments.
