Meeting of the two presidents Berisha - Herzog Germany will help Albania with economic integration and democratic consolidation A Joint Declaration of the Federal Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany on the foundations of their relations is signed For a moment it seemed as if two eras were confronting each other. The short jacket in Kosovo style, Tedi from Balli Kombëtar, under the noise of slogans or cheers of the new era, was faced by the elegant hat and the appearance of Roman Herzog as a modern politician. It seemed as if yesterday's Germany, that of Bismarck and its economic renaissance, was meeting today's Germany, champion of democracy in Europe. But that was not all. Joe Buken and the head of the Bundesbank were standing somewhere between the two. The political moment yesterday, with the arrival in Tirana of the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Roman Herzog, has a dimension beyond the official ceremony and the warm and very popular greeting from the citizens of Tirana. New relations are being established between us and Germany, and a new climate of trust is being created. For the first time, a German president is coming to Tirana, and this makes the visit even more significant. Photo 4. Abazi Photo 5.
