Recognition of pensions with Italy, what holds the process hostage. How might

What is preventing the initiation of the procedures in implementation of the agreement on the recognition of pensions with Italy is the signature of the Italian and Albanian Foreign Ministers.

The president of the "Diaspora '91-19" association, Esat Balla, said that after receiving the agreement, the green light is given to its implementation, since there is no shortage of funds.

In the interview given for the "Box to Box" show, Balla also focused on how the agreement will work as he pointed out that even those who have reached retirement age will be able to benefit from it.

Efforts to unify working years for immigrants living in Italy started a few years ago. But according to the president of the "Diaspora '91-19" association, if the political commitment to finalize this agreement was early, we would not be in this situation today.

There are dozens of citizens who reach the age of retirement but who do not have the opportunity to benefit because they do not meet the contribution threshold, or the years of work.

The mutual recognition of the insurance periods gives you the opportunity to benefit from a pension in Italy and a pension in Albania, in the value and amount of the contributions that have been made.
