Brussels to help pave the way for Western Balkan countries to join the bloc, Stabilization and unification process<\/strong>. This sets out political and economic goals for the region.<\/p>\n The lack of rapprochement between countries in the Western Balkan region and the rest of the European Union remains a major problem in allowing these countries to join the EU. This currently equates to about 35 percent of AB\u2019's average levels.<\/p>\n Economic convergence is sometimes defined as the conditions that enable \u2018, or a country with a slower level of development and economic growth, to capture \u2019, a country richer than \u2018.<\/p>\n In the case of Albania, the country is investing heavily in the construction and tourism sectors to boost economic growth.<\/p>\n The country's railway network is being completely overhauled with the help of AB\u2019's Economic and Investment Plan (EIP) for the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n In addition to innovating the railway network, train stations and signaling system, EIP is also used to develop renewable energy projects such as solar photovoltaic power plants, as well as digital infrastructure.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Albanian Railways Project Implementation Unit head Bashkim Kasoruhu euronews\u2019e said that railway projects will have a major economic, social and environmental impact and significantly improve transport links within Albania, the wider Balkan region and Europe.<\/p>\n \u201cConnection is the most important aspect. You can imagine the impact of connecting these largest ports. The port [Durres], [Tiran] airport and Tirana city center, where the public transport terminal is located, will gather all the infrastructure in one center, \u201d said.<\/p>\n AlbaniaThe new railway connection between Durres and Tirana, the two largest cities in \u2019, will cut the 40-minute road trip in half and reduce it to about 20 minutes when completed. In addition to the EU investment grant, the project is also financed by a loan from the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD).<\/p>\n A tourism success story<\/b><\/p>\n Albania\u2019's coastline stretches 450 kilometers along the Adriatic and Ionian Seas. Tourists are interested in the country's Mediterranean climate, reasonable prices and natural beauty areas.<\/p>\n Located between Montenegro in the north and Greece in the south, this region is connected to the ports of Bari and Brindisi in \u2019, Italy, with relatively short ferry routes. Given these geographical factors, it may come as no surprise that Albania\u2019 is quickly becoming Europe\u2019's hottest tourist destination.<\/p>\n Albania welcomed a record 8.3 million tourists between January and September last year; This figure is 0.8 million more than the 7.5 million tourists it received in 2022\u2019. This upward trend is expected to continue.<\/p>\n Euronews also met with Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama.
