TIRANA, March 22 – Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Ferit Hoxha attended the screening of the documentary “The EUkrainian.” The Embassy of Sweden in Tirana organized the event at the “House of Europe.” Senior officials joined the screening, including EU delegation head Silvio Gonzato and director Viktor Nordenskiöld.

During the event, Hoxha highlighted the documentary’s message. He said it presents a powerful story of determination, courage, and resilience. At the same time, it offers a deeply human account of ongoing efforts to bring Ukraine closer to the European Union, with the aim of membership.

Moreover, Hoxha stressed the broader significance of the event. He said it serves as a reminder of the need for continuous and unwavering support for Ukraine. Albania fully maintains this commitment. He also underlined that EU enlargement is not simply a policy. Instead, it represents a strategic necessity for peace, security, and a stronger Europe.

The documentary provides a strong and human perspective on Ukraine’s path toward EU membership. It portrays the first months of the Russian invasion through the eyes of Olha Stefanishyna, Ukraine’s deputy prime minister leading EU accession negotiations. Therefore, the film reinforces the urgency of closer integration and sustained international support.
