Progress to be proven

Almost every evening there are fireworks bursting, here and there, in Tirana, where any excuse is good to use these displays, apparently easily available even to the general public.

This may happen after a soccer match, or during a political demonstration, and this week because Albania is achieving visa-free status for its citizens to travel in Europe.

The reality of Albania's current state of affairs is succintly described in an article of SouthEast European Times that appears today online.

Let's hope that Albania makes a judicious use of this additional achievement in the use of freedom so that it may become a worth European ally.
