Tirana, 20 December 2021 (MIA) – Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama will welcome Prime Minister Zoran Zaev and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic for a meeting of regional initiative Open Balkan in Elbasan instead of capital Tirana on Monday. Zaev and Vucic are scheduled to arrive in Elbasan at 6.30 p.m. followed by an official dinner an hour later.
