Defence Directive 2025

In a constantly changing geopolitical environment, where conventional warfare has returned to Europe, while hybrid threats become increasingly aggressive in our region, the Albanian government will continue to dedicate increasing human and financial resources to the modernization of defense capacities, while also respecting the commitments undertaken in the North Atlantic Alliance.

Throughout 2025, the Armed Forces of the Republic of Albania and all agencies of the Ministry of Defense will continue to increase capacities and readiness across the entire spectrum of combat, as well as strengthen Civil Protection mechanisms.

The Defense Directive 2025 is about creating a more modern, capable and flexible defense system that complies with Albania's obligations in NATO and the EU, as well as contributes to regional and global security.

This directive supports the strengthening of the military instrument in harmony with other instruments of national response capabilities, in accordance with all planning documents, as well as with the strategic goal of revitalizing the military industry in the country.
