Albania would send another two batches of troops to Afghanistan to help train the Afghan army, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha said on Monday.
Berisha said that the tiny western Balkan country would also send an army unit to Darfur, Sudan, to join the peacekeeping forces there.
Albania already has a total of 350 troops in EU-led mission in Bosnia, NATO-led mission in Afghanistan and the U.S.-led forces inIraq.
"Discussions were underway to increase that by another 100," Berisha said.
Albania, along with Croatia, was formally invited to join NATO at the alliance's summit in Bucharest, Romania, last week.
