editAlthough Albania is not an EU member state yet, Volt has been actively campaigning in Albania since 2021. In addition to local involvement, members participate in Volt's European level events.[7]
On November 21, 2024 Volt Albania, together with Volt Italy and Volt Europa, inspected the immigration camp in Gjadër stating that "They are in open conflict with European law, as stated by the European Court of Justice".[8][9] Volt Albania hosted Volt Europa on November 22 and 23 for the General Assembly of Volt Europa in Tirana.
