He made his senior international debut for the Albania national team in 2001 and went on to earn 77 caps and score six goals before retiring from international football in 2011. Over ten years, Duro featured regularly for the national side and appeared in four major qualifying campaigns, working under five different head coaches. Used in various midfield roles, he was often involved in set pieces and contributed both as a passer and as a link between midfield and attack. He also captained Albania on several occasions. During this period, he took part in a number of notable qualifying results and long defensive and unbeaten sequences achieved by the team in the mid-2000s. His brother, Albert Duro, was also a professional footballer. After retiring as a player, Duro transitioned into coaching.
