Gonzato said that work should be done in this direction. 

"Another important area is the freedom of expression and unfortunately the commission does not notice any progress in this area and regarding the long-term issues that have been worrying especially the overlap of the interests of the media, business and politics and the problematic working conditions of journalists. I hope that the opening of the first group of negotiations will be a good opportunity for the Albanian authorities to implement these reforms" , he said.
