The Council of Ministers of Albania has decided to open a 'Consulate General' in the town of Struga, located in the southwestern region of Macedonia on the shores of the well known Ohrid lake. The decision was announced on Tuesday via a Facebook post. The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs Gent Cakaj called the news “fantastic” for Albania and Albanians.
According to the minister, the decision is in line with the plan of the government to deepen interaction with Albanians in the region.
