“While expressing my condolences to the Albanian government for the victims of last month's earthquake, I would like to emphasize once again that we are providing assistance in assessing the damages, not only financially. Based on these assessments we will further extend our assistance through the organization of a conference of European governments to help Albania cope successfully with this situation. To restore the population to safety and normal life," said Di Maio.
