According to her, the relations between the two countries are without any open issues, with the emphasis that they should be further strengthened in the future, "both our relations and our regional cooperation, and certainly our bilateral cooperation".
"This cooperation should be through the intensification of talks on the institutional level, as well as through political dialogue. I hope and am convinced that today's visit by the Prime Minister of the Republic of Albania Edi Rama will contribute to and improve our relations," said Krišto.

"It is no secret that we protect the interests of Kosovo and we also want to achieve freedom of movement with the Berlin process, as well as for the citizens of Kosovo who encounter difficulties and that this would be free movement only with an ID card. I hope that Bosnia and Herzegovina, following the example of the Republic of Serbia, will sign such an agreement with us," said Rama.
