The new British Ambassador to Albania, Alastair King-Smith, has announced through a post on social media, the inclusion of Albania by the British health authorities in the list of green countries.

King-Smith says that with this decision that enters into force on October 4, Albania becomes easily accessible to visitors coming from the UK.

The ambassador also says that the diplomatic service he represents is in talks with the Foreign Minister, Olta Xhaçka, to make possible the recognition of vaccines made in Albania, in order to open the green light for Albanian citizens intending to visit Great Britain.

"Good news: Albania becomes ‘green’ from October 4 and visitors from the UK can visit it more easily. We are discussing with Foreign Minister Olta Xhaçka, how to ensure that the vaccinations provided in Albania can become recognized in the United Kingdom, so that Albanian visitors will soon benefit too," the ambassador wrote.
