(ANSA-AFP) - BELGRADE, FEB 15 - US Secretary of State Antony
Blinken arrived in Tirana on Thursday in a show of support for
its Balkan ally. Blinken's first visit to Albania is intended to
reinforce bilateral relations with a key partner to help
maintain stability in the Balkans, senior State Department
official Yuri Kim said. Albania has seen a shift towards the
West after decades of isolation under the communist regime of
Enver Hoxha. Today a large majority of Albanians have a very
positive image of the United States, according to recent opinion
polls. (ANSA-AFP).
