Over the last 24 years, Albania has experienced a difficult transition process. During this process, Albania has encountered many successes and hardships. The country’s economic potential has never been fully used. With the EU ambition in mind, the Government of Albania has committed itself to create a new economic model and a more competitive investment climate. The 2014 was the year of deep reforms for Albania. The Government has undertaken structural reforms aiming to reshape the business climate and environment. The new legal framework on tourism, strategic investments, public-private partnership and free economic zones, will ensure productive inputs of economic growth contributing to increase the foreign investment inflow. The Berlin Process marked the beginning of a historical process for the Western Balkan countries, with main focus the connectivity in the Region. A number of important projects in infrastructure are designed. The TAP project is very important for Albania because it will enable the connection of Albania with the natural gas network. Foreign investment is a key factor for the new government, not only because FDIs provide liquidity, employment and development, but especially because they assist raising the performance level of economic sectors.

Recognizing the above, in view of its upcoming EU Presidency during the first half of 2008 and its migration agenda therein, the Slovenian government has taken the initiative to request IOM to draft “migration profiles” (as defined by the European Commission) for Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, the Republic of Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Turkey.
