The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Igli Hasani, declared today from Skopje, during his first official visit, that the Corridor 8 will transform the strategic position of the two countries.

In a press statement with his counterpart, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of North Macedonia, Bujar Osmani, Hasani stated that “one of the biggest and most transformative projects we are working on, together with Italy and Bulgaria, and with the support of other partners, is undoubtedly the 8th Corridor. After decades of persistence from our countries, it is no longer just a project on paper but a part of the Pan-European Corridors.”

“This corridor will not only transform the strategic position of our countries but also reshape our economies and development perspectives. Therefore, we must invest in exploring ways to cooperate in order to extract the maximum benefits from Corridor VIII and the Growth Plan for the Balkans, both for our countries and the entire region,” explained Hasani.

“Today, more than ever, our countries and societies share common interests and a shared vision for the future,” he underlined.
