The ITAL UIL delegation, led by National Secretary Giuliano Zignani, recently visited Tirana with the aim of strengthening ties with Albanian institutions and promoting closer cooperation between Italy and Albania. During this visit, an important agreement was renewed with Albania’s Institute of Social Insurance (ISSH), with participation from UIM Albania representatives — marking a significant step forward in bilateral collaboration.

The agreement, enthusiastically signed by all parties involved, establishes a dedicated helpdesk for returning migrants. This service is designed to assist individuals in accessing pension benefits as outlined in the bilateral agreements between the two countries. The main goal is to ensure that Albanian citizens who worked in Italy can claim their pension rights easily and transparently.
ITAL National President Giuliano Zignani emphasized the significance of the protocol, describing it as a tangible example of how international cooperation can improve people’s lives. He also highlighted the critical role of the Albanian diaspora as a bridge between the two nations and reaffirmed ITAL UIL’s commitment to offering social protection and support to those in need.

During the visit, the delegation also initiated a dialogue with other key stakeholders, including the “Nostra Signora del Buon Consiglio” University, with the intention of expanding welfare and tax advisory services for Italian students and patients residing in Albania.
