Albanians for America, a US nonprofit advocacy organization, joins millions of Albanians from all over the world in congratulating the United States in the recent elections and, in particular, President Donald Trump on his impressive election victory!
Many of us in the community have known and worked with the President-elect for decades in various capacities. Most notably, we recall meetings with him and his representatives, where we discussed the prospects for peace and prosperity, the deep affection Albanians have for the United States, and our strategic relationship. We hope to once again enlist President Trump’s bold leadership to end Serbia’s ongoing aggression toward neighboring countries, which has persisted since the time when the United States intervened militarily to halt the region’s genocidal war.
We appreciate President Trump’s commitment to the ‘peace through strength’ approach in global affairs, a principle that can bring a just peace in the region closer to reality. We are hopeful we can put it into action together.
We look forward to an era of a strong United States of America under President Trump’s decisive leadership. We rely on continued strong bipartisan support for Kosova, Albania, and other emerging democracies and near-term EU and NATO aspirants in the region. The success of these democracies can serve as a beacon to Serbia and others within the orbits of Russia, China, and other malign actors, signaling that it’s time to change direction.
We remain committed to developing mutually beneficial political and economic cooperation that will benefit both of our nations. Albanians, as one of Europe’s youngest and most vibrant societies, are factors in every country of the Balkans. Albania and Kosova moreover have been growing their institutions and considerably increasing military spending in compliance with commitments to NATO and to defend against any hostility, thus contributing to ensuring long- term peace and security in Europe and the Transatlantic community alongside our allies.
We look forward to leaders from the region visiting to personally congratulate President Trump and to engage in strengthening our strategic partnership with the United States, founded on our shared principle of “peace through strength.”
It’s time for progress.
