Montenegro is a "neighbor, friend, partner, and ally in NATO," Hoxha added, highlighting their shared project of European Union membership. His statement was a direct response to reports in some Montenegrin media. These reports suggested that Montenegro's Prime Minister Milojko Spajiฤ‡ was referring to Albania and at least one other regional state when he mentioned coordinated hybrid actions accompanying the closure of EU accession chapters.

Hoxha acknowledged that media reports are part of public debate and are analyzed with due attention, but he cautioned against taking them at face value, especially when they contain contradictory interpretations. He asserted that Albania is actively working to enhance cooperation, understanding, stability, and development within the region, as well as broader European and Euro-Atlantic collaboration.

Speculations, media interpretations, or internal political debates of a neighboring country cannot and should not artificially create problems between our two countries.
