This thesis provides information on Free Trade Agreements negotiated in Albania in the framework of the trade agreements with other Balkan countries. According to WTO agreements frameworks, individual countries can agree to lower customs tariffs and other trade barriers, in order to open and keep service markets open. In this content, Albania is concluding free trade agreements with nine countries of the region; Macedonia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, Bulgaria, Yugoslavia, Moldova, Turkey and Kosovo. This means free exchange of goods and services between these countries by better exploiting their competitive advantages. A big debate is open about these free trade agreements. Some argue that these trade agreements will negatively affect Albanian products, some others are concerned about the illegal intrusion of a greater amount of goods, and others say that this is an anti-Albanian policy. However, I see these trade agreements from the stimulant dimension point of view for our domestic production, that is an increase in the competitiveness of Albanian products. Also, I am optimistic about the wider trade, involving about 50 million consumers, which means greater possibilities for increasing foreign investments and an increase in the economic stabilization of the region.
