Albania, Macedonia strengthen border cooperation

Xinhua, July 21, 2016 Adjust font size:

Albania and Macedonia on Wednesday signed a protocol to strengthen border cooperation.

The document, signed by Albanian Deputy Interior Minister Stefan Cipa and his Macedonian counterpart Agim Nuhiu, determined in detail the areas, manners, circumstances and conditions concerning illegal border crossings.

Under the protocol, it is now possible for police units of both countries to cross the border to pursue perpetrators.

It is believed that the protocol will encourage exchanges between the two sides and enhance their fight against drugs, illegal trafficking as well as religious radicalism and terrorism.

The police units of both countries are also expected to forge closer ties in other areas after the signing of the protocol. Endi
