Albania is to model its future Armed Forces Academy on the United States Military Academy (USMA), otherwise known as West Point, Albanian Defence Minister Niko Peleshi told Tirana-based TV station News24 on 29 September.

“Our long-term ambition is to have in Albania a West Point that would serve the western Balkans, i.e. a regional West Point,” said Peleshi, explaining that this process will begin with construction of a modern campus that should be completed in 2023.
