EU to open accession talks with Albania, North Macedonia

Change language:
Ministers of the European Union (EU) member states on Tuesday greenlighted accession talks with Albania and North Macedonia.
“Very pleased that EU member states today reached political agreement on opening of accession talks with Albania and North Macedonia. I wholeheartedly congratulate both countries,” Olivér Varhelyi, European Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, said on Twitter.
The greenlight is a result of a videoconference of EU member states’ ministers for European affairs.
In October 2019, both a meeting of the Council of European Union — made up by ministers of EU member states, and a European Council meeting — made up by heads of state or government of EU member states, failed to greenlight the opening of accession talks.
At the time, France led objections within the European Union to the start of the talks, saying the world’s largest trading bloc should strengthen its existing policies and institutions before adding new members.






During the worst crisis in decades, the EU bureaucrats are thinking in the accession of such a great and important country as Albania. Is this a joke?? So UK is out and the mental retarded leaders of EU will replace them with Albania? HAHAHAAA. This is just for laugh.
