The European Union Ambassador to Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, had a meeting with the new Speaker of the Albanian Parliament, Elisa Spiropali, with whom he discussed the importance of empowering the Parliament to fully play its role in the process of Albania’s EU membership and to ensure strong consensus across the political spectrum around it.

The parties at the meeting agreed that an efficient and transparent parliament is needed, open to its citizens, capable of carrying out the necessary reforms and effective in exercising oversight over the executive.

In this context, the EU will continue to engage with the National Council for European Integration, the Committee on EU Affairs, and will increase technical cooperation with the Parliament.

Gonzato confirmed to Spiropali that the EU will engage with special parliamentary committees – for deepening reforms for good governance, the rule of law and anti-corruption, as well as for combating disinformation and other forms of foreign interference in the democratic process – with the aim of ensuring full coherence with Albania’s commitments for EU membership./ (September 6)
