“ The conference concluded that Albania has successfully completed the group chapter of the Foundations. This is an important achievement. This milestone allows Albania to move forward in the accession process and to provisionally close the chapters. Enlargement is strategic for the Cyprus presidency. We deeply believe in enlargement and are pleased that Albania's accession process is moving forward decisively, with rigorous and fair assessment and conditionality ”, said Raouna.

We know that the accession process is a difficult journey, but it is worth it. Progress is not measured only by the adoption of reforms, but by their effective implementation, a consolidated balance sheet, sustainable and irreversible results. The EU looks forward to continuing this momentum of reforms that has brought Albania here today ," the Cypriot official declared.
