The two confirmed that the accelerated construction of Corridor No. 8 from the Adriatic to the Black Sea is a common strategic goal. 
Special emphasis is placed on the role of the Bulgarian national minority in Albania as an important bridge of friendship and a factor for strengthening trust. Kondov expressed satisfaction with the organization and conduct of the population census in Albania and the opportunity given to the Bulgarian community to freely declare their identity, the Foreign Ministry announced.
