Both sides praised the long-standing and strong cooperation between the two customs administrations. They highlighted concrete results in simplifying procedures and boosting trade exchanges.

The presence of Kosovo Customs at the Port of Durrës and the One Stop Shop at Morinë were described as added value for both economies. These measures reduce time and costs for businesses and increase the flow of goods and passengers.

Beja emphasized digitalization as a key priority to simplify procedures, increase transparency, and improve services for businesses. He also underlined cooperation in joint investigations and the fight against illegal activities.

The meeting reaffirmed the joint commitment to strengthen customs cooperation in support of trade facilitation, security, and economic development in both countries.
