"We should gather in a dossier the
investment and cooperation opportunities with Albania and start
a targeted screening, both with the companies of Friuli Venezia
Giulia and at the level of Regions' network, aimed at promoting
the activation of shared planning: a consolidation of relations
between the territories that may see its fulfillment in the
organization of a specific business event, dedicated to the
stakeholders, capable of opening to a confrontation between
mutual institutions and productive worlds": this is the proposal
put forward by the governor of Fvg, Massimiliano Fedriga, in the
second day of meetings in Tirana with local authorities,
including Deputy Minister of Tourism and Environment Almira
Xhembulla, Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Ami
Kozeli and the mayor of Tirana Erion Veliaj.
Fedriga dwelt on the North Adriatic Hydrogen Valley project:
"a side on which there are good opportunities for dialogue
between Fvg and Albania, the latter in the guise of a potential
partner for the supply of green hydrogen, enhancing, in
particular, the port connection between Trieste and Durres. The
environmental issue is also closely related to the need for more
sustainable tourism, for example, by focusing on cruise ships
with hybrid propulsion to cut down pollution without giving up
the benefits of a market that in Italy counted 12.8 million
passengers in 2023."
The president also deems "interesting" the possible points of
contact resulting from the nomination of Gorizia and Nova Gorica
as European Capital of Culture and Tirana and Alexandria as
Mediterranean Capitals of Culture and Dialogue. Hence, the
invitation is to develop partnerships to promote their
respective territories in 2025. The governor was also a guest of
Parliament, where he met with the chairwoman of the National
Council of European Integration, Jorida Tabaku, to discuss the
country's accession process to the Union.
