Albania has taken another step in the European integration process today. The 9th intergovernmental conference between Albania and the European Union took place in Brussels, where the closure of the first three negotiation chapters was formalized: Chapter 25 - Science and Research, Chapter 26 - Education and Culture, and Chapter 30 - External Relations.
Prime Minister Edi Rama participated in the conference together with the official Albanian delegation, while Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos described July 14 as a "Super Tuesday" for European Union enlargement, as for the first time in more than two decades, four intergovernmental accession conferences were held on the same day.
In his speech, Rama said that the closure of the three chapters represents another important moment in the process of Albania's integration into the European Union.
" What happened now truly marks another milestone in Albania's irreversible journey to the EU. We have just agreed to close three important negotiating chapters. This is not just a step, but an assessment that Albania is moving forward, that reforms are yielding results. Today is also important because it emphasizes a very important message: Albania delivers results, the EU delivers results. Albania moves forward and the EU reacts to this ," said Rama.
The Prime Minister also thanked Commissioner Marta Kos for her support during the negotiation process.
" Thank you, Marta, for being stubbornly patient and keeping us on track despite the obstacles. We are bringing European standards closer to our citizens. We are building the Albania we want to see as an EU member. The best proof of this is that people want more and are always less tolerant of what does not work. We must move forward and deliver results for our people ," Rama said.
