Eric Adams, Former 'International Mayor' of NYC, Becomes an Honorary Albanian Citizen
The decree follows Adams’s requests to deepen ties with Albania, where officials said his citizenship was approved by President Bajram Begaj.
- On Friday, Albanian President Bajram Begaj issued an official decree granting citizenship and a passport to former New York City Mayor Eric Adams upon his request.
- Adams' affinity for Albania includes a previously unannounced four-day trip in 2025 where he met Prime Minister Edi Rama to discuss business and tourism opportunities.
- Spokesperson Todd Shapiro confirmed the recognition, stating it "further strengthens the bond between New York and Albania," though Adams has not publicly confirmed obtaining the citizenship.
- Adams received citizenship 100 days after leaving office, a period when his son competed in an Albanian "American Idol" contest and he sought to build international relationships.
