Albanian consulate opens in Ioannina
The Albanian Consulate in Ioannina began operating at the start of this week.
The agreement to open it was reached three years ago, when Albania and Greece, wishing to expand political cooperation and better represent their interests in each other’s countries, decided to open a Greek Consulate in Gjirokastër and an Albanian one in Ioannina.
While the Greek Consulate in Gjirokastër has been operating for two years, only a few days ago two young Albanian diplomats raised the Albanian flag on “Napoleon Zerva” Street in Ioannina, where the Albanian Consulate is now based.
Although the Albanian Consulate in Ioannina has begun operating, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not yet appointed an Albanian consul general in Ioannina.

During his two-day visit to Tirana, Peponis will meet with his counterpart Frashëri, as well as Albania’s highest-ranking officials.
The two justice ministers will sign an agreement on cooperation in the fight against organized crime.
