Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has told RTSH that Tirana is due to host the next NATO summit in 2028. Speaking to RTSH journalist Denada Shkodrani in Dublin, Rama said NATO members had not yet agreed on a date for the meeting. He ruled out 2027 as a possible year.

“Albania is designated as the next host of the NATO summit. The issue is that there is still no common position on when the summit will take place,” Rama said.

He added that the next summit would take place in Tirana if NATO schedules it for 2028. “Certainly not in 2027. If there is a summit in 2028, it will be held in Tirana. There is no doubt about that,” he told RTSH.

Rama is in Dublin for the ninth European Political Community summit, where European security, European Union enlargement, hybrid threats, energy security and the war in Ukraine are among the main topics. He is also expected to meet European Council President Antonio Costa and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
