Albania's integration / Three EU foreign ministers in favor of opening

The Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, Olta Xhaçka, received in a meeting her three counterparts, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Austria, Alexander Schallenberg, the Minister of the Czech Republic, Jakub Kulhanek and the Minister of Slovenia, Anze Logar.

They spoke about the integration process, while saying that the country is ready to start negotiations. The ministers told the media that the EU should appreciate Albania's efforts. According to Schallenberg, Albania has done its homework, adding that there is no reason to further delay the process.

"Albania has come a long way, has undertaken many reforms, has done its duties and is ready to open negotiations in June. "There is no reason to delay this process," said the Austrian minister.

While the Czech Minister focused on Justice Reform and the fight against corruption.

"It is quite significant that three EU Foreign Ministers have come to Albania to show their support for Albania's path to the EU.

"I take this opportunity to appreciate all the achievements that Albania has made so far, especially in two areas: Justice reform and the fight against corruption and organized crime," said the Czech minister.

The Western Balkans will be at the top of the agenda. This is what the Slovenian minister said. Recall that Slovenia will take over the presidency of the EU Council for the next 6 months.

"Albania fulfilled its task, now it is the EU that must stand by its words, it is the right time. "The next presidency is that of Slovenia, where enlargement and the issue of BP will be at the top of the agenda, so Albania will have an active interlocutor ," said the Slovenian minister.
