Abstract:
Albania and Kosovo, with shared historical and cultural ties, have the potential to act as stabilizing forces in the Balkans. Their commitment to democratic governance, economic development, and regional cooperation strengthens regional stability. Albania’s NATO membership and EU candidacy, alongside Kosovo’s aspirations to join these organizations, further integrate them into Euro-Atlantic structures. This study examines their cross-gov ernmental cooperation, signed agreements, and border controls, assessing their impact on political stability. By analyzing key memorandums and cooperative efforts, the paper highlights the benefits and challenges of their collaboration, offering recommendations for enhancing bilateral relations and regional stability
