Euronews Albania and Euronews Group announced the launch of the Euronews Albania channel broadcast from the Albanian capital to audiences in Albania, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia and Montenegro. The media platform will serve as a "big news studio" for all Albanian-speaking territories in the region and in the diaspora. The event qualifies as an achievement for the Euronews Group, because Euronews Albania is the first franchisee in the group's history. Euronews is Europe's number one international news channel. Euronews Albania represents a media model that strives to embody the same standards and professional values of the prestigious European branch, Euronews.

In line with its slogan, "All perspectives, all voices, all welcome", Euronews Albania will guarantee impartial and independent reporting. Albanian language broadcasts, television and digital platforms will be integrated into the 12 other Euronews Group languages and will enable dialogue between Europe and Albanians in the region.

The founder of Euronews Albania, Mr. Theodhori Cami, stated: â??Since we created this partnership with Euronews a year ago, we have worked intensively to bring human and technological investment to the Albanian media market. Today, on the day of materializing a great dream, of a project that will be a forum for the opinions of Albanians around the world, I feel especially proud. Our mission is to report impartially, presenting all views. Through our commitment to verifying the facts and reporting to the highest levels, I am confident that Euronews Albania will revolutionize the news market in the region. "

Michael Peters, CEO of Euronews, stated: â??I am very proud that Euronews Albania, our first franchisee, is launching broadcasts. This is a great day for Euronews. The name of this channel is well-known throughout Europe and beyond, as a carrier of impartial news and freelance journalism. I am confident that this new station will offer the same value to the Albanian-speaking audience, as I am convinced that it will immediately highlight the quality and impact of the way journalism is done. Based on these values, Euronews Albania will bring a much needed voice to the market. However, our work goes beyond that. We are building a bridge and, as always, when building a bridge, two roads are created. If we are bringing a little bit of Europe to Albania through this project, the opposite is also true: this project will spread a little Albania to Europe.
