History

After the 2013 elections, Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati announced that the government would close a part of their diplomatic missions due to an economic crisis. Consequently the embassies in Kuala Lumpur, Lisbon, Sarajevo, and New Delhi were closed. ^{[1] [2]}

In 2024, the Foreign Ministry announced plans of opening embassies in Jakarta and Nairobi, as well as reopening embassies in New Delhi and Sarajevo. ^[3]
