Albania, tot mai aproape de UE. Comisia vrea să închidă negocierile de aderare până în decembrie 2027

The European Commission plans to officially support Albania's 2027 EU accession timeline in a new roadmap. This document will outline key objectives for Tirana to prioritize in order to complete the accession process by the end of next year. Albania aims to finalize its negotiations by 2027, a goal endorsed by EU officials, although the Commission typically avoids setting specific deadlines for accession. Recent statements from Commission President Ursula von der Leyen indicate that roadmaps will be created for candidate countries making significant progress, including Albania. These roadmaps will provide clearer guidance and include assessments of each country's readiness, particularly in justice and rule of law areas. The Commission's approach has previously been effective in Montenegro, and it seeks to replicate this success with Albania.
