That proud moment for #Albania in the #UNSC, in being on the right side of history, on the side of humanity & human dignity, in saying loud & clear: HET to aggression, killing & destruction; HET to a sensless war; HET to the domination of a country by another.

- #Albania is officially and for the first time, a member of the #UNSC. This marks the start of the most important excercise in its foreign policy, a moment of pride for #Albania and #Albanians, including in particular for the #Albanian Team in NY. #AlbaniaUNSC🇦🇱
- Thank you @NazaninBoniadi for your participation today at our #UNSC Arria meeting on #Iran. Your powerful acount in support of peaceful protests comes as a strong encouragement for the avalanche of hope in braving repression & obscuratism. This deserves full support by all.
- For the first time, the Flag of #Albania has been proudly raised at a special place at the #UN - the corner where "lights never go out" - the Security Council - along the flags of 14 other #UNSC Members. It will be displayed there during our SC tenure of 24 month. #AlbaniaUNSC🇦🇱
- The #UNGA just voted. A historic result. The desperate & artificial mentioning of the case of #Kosova (& Taiwan) did not shield #Russia from a crushing defeat. 143 countries said a resounding NO to the war, NO to sham referendums, NO to annexation of territory. #StandWithUkraine.
- I would gladly challenge anyone, in this Council & outside, to argue & prove that the Balkans are not nowadays much better off with Kosovo as an independent country. Kosovo's independence has been settled 14 years ago & it is not for discussion. #Kosovars has made their choice.#AlbaniaUNSC🇦🇱 at UNSC mtg: #Kosovo is not a matter of peace & security but of state-building. @UNMIKosovo's mandate needs to terminate to move to a more effective UN presence 🇽🇰&🇷🇸 need reconciliation through active engagement in EU-facilitated dialogue bit.ly/3K27v3F
- At every occasion in our work at #UNSC we point out, loud clear, the importance of accountability & fighting impunity. Today we recall the #Recak Massacre in #Kosova, where #Serbian special forces executed 45 unarmed #Albanians in 1999. Justice must prevail! #AlbaniaUNSC🇦🇱
- We are stepping up our support for Ukraine. For the first time, the EU will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and equipment to a country under attack. We are also strengthening our sanctions against the Kremlin. x.com/i/broadcasts/1…
- UNSC Open Debate| #AlbaniaUNSC🇦🇱expressed serious concern at the continued use of #CRSV as a weapon of war & terror to punish civilians Imperative to 1⃣prioritize prevention 2⃣strengthen #accountability 3⃣ensure effective participation of civil society 📜bit.ly/3jDiTbc
- I had the pleasure to present today to the Pr of the European Commission @vonderleyen, my #Credentials as Ambassador of #Albania to #EU. This is a crucially important time to push our EU integration agenda through the accelerated #Enlargement process & the Growth Plan for the WB.
- After two intensive & extraordinary years in the #UNSC, time to wrap up & embark on another challenge. At a farewell meeting with the SG @antonioguterres, i thanked him for the close cooperation during 🇦🇱 SC mandate & for his leadership in these trubled & challenging times.
- The #UNSC vote today on a resolution tabled by 🇦🇱 & 🇺🇸was procedural in nature but its significance is of historic proportions. A veto tried to lock the UN, last Friday, at the SC. Tomorrow, at the #UNGA the #World will condemn an unprovoked & unjustified pure act of #aggressionAfter 40 years since it last happened, the #UNSC adopted a resolution presented by 🇦🇱 and 🇺🇸, to convene an Emergency Special Session of @UN General Assembly on #Ukraine.
