The European Political Community was established at the initiative of French President Emmanuel Macron. It serves as a platform for political dialogue concerning peace and security across the continent and for fostering cooperation between EU and non-EU states. The inaugural summit of the Community took place in Prague in October 2022, and Albania hosted the second edition in June 2023.
Albania hosted the sixth Summit of the European Political Community (EPC) in Tirana, where 47 heads of state or government and leaders of key European and international institutions came together. In 2023, the Republic of Moldova served as the host for the EPC Summit.
