European Commission reaffirmed today its positive recommendation to open EU accession talks with Albania.
The Commission has drafted an interim report, which is expected to serve as a new basis for the evaluation of member states, which likely will be discussed at a European Council meeting later this month, where the new methodology introduced last month will be approved.
“In light of the significant progress achieved, and the fulfillment of the conditions unanimously agreed by the Council, in June 2018, the Commission recommended in its 2019 Enlargement Package that the Council open accession negotiations with Albania. Overall Albania has increased its efforts and has had tangible and sustainable results in the key areas identified in the June 2018 Council Conclusions. Consequently, the basis of the Commission’s recommendation for 2019 to open accession negotiations with Albania stands,” the report states.
