Albania, Croatia to establish direct sea and air links

Xinhua, February 13, 2016 Adjust font size:

Albanian and Croatian authorities are mulling plans of establishing maritime and air routes between the two countries, Albanian Daily News reported on Saturday.

Albanian Transport and Infrastructure Minister Edmond Haxhinasto met with Croatia's newly appointed ambassador to Albania, Sanja Bujas Juraga, to discuss bilateral cooperation in transport.

Both sides agreed on planning a meeting of the joint commission on transport.

The two sides agreed to establish a new sea line linking Albania's biggest port Durres with Croatia's southern port of Dubrovnik.

Authorities are also looking into the possibility of introducing direct air links between Zagreb and Tirana.

Albanian authorities hope the planned maritime and air links would promote the country's tourism industry and business with Croatia. Endi
