After the publication of the main findings of the progress report for Albania by the European Commission, the European Union ambassador in Tirana, Silvio Gonzato, held meetings with civil society and state authorities to discuss these findings.

Ambassador Gonzato spoke about the findings of the progress report before civil society organizations and business representatives. According to him, Albania’s accession process has reached a critical moment and now there is a key opportunity to accelerate reforms in the EU.

“However, sustainable reforms must be based on effective consultation processes with stakeholders. This is a matter of transparency, accountability, but getting the right expertise and understanding the impact of alignment with EU standards,” emphasized Gonzato.

The findings of the progress report were also the focus of Ambassador Gonzato’s meeting with the new head of the High Judicial Council, Ilir Rusi. The parties discussed the findings of the report, especially those related to Chapter 23, “Functioning of the Judiciary”.

“We agreed that the Council should continue its efforts to base its procedures on the best EU standards using the expertise of our EU4Justice project. This is key to maintaining the spirit of the 2016 Justice Reform and, most importantly, to providing the Albanian people with the justice they deserve,” said EU Ambassador Silvio Gonzato after the meeting.
