Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, has embarked on her first official visit to Albania from 12 to 14 March, reinforcing the EU\u2019s commitment to the country\u2019s accession process. The visit featured high-level meetings and engagements focused on advancing reform and fostering closer EU\u2013Albania ties.<\/p>\n

In a high-level meeting, Commissioner Kos met with Prime Minister Edi Rama in Tirana. During the joint press conference, she expressed optimism about Albania\u2019s reform process, \u201cDear Prime Minister Edi Rama, thank you for your warm welcome to Tirana! While the world is changing, the unity of Albania towards the EU remains an important guarantee for peace, freedom and security. For Albania, this is a window of opportunity. The EU is on your side to fully support your accession – let\u2019s make it happen together.\u201d Following this dialogue, she also met with the Speaker of Parliament, Elisa Spiropali, further underscoring the significance of high-level engagement in Albania\u2019s EU journey.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Additionally, Commissioner Kos visited the College of Europe Tirana Campus, where she engaged with students and faculty. Reflecting on her own youthful aspirations for a united continent, she remarked, \u201cWhen I was their age, we dreamt of the unification of our continent. Today, this dream is closer to reality – also because of countries like Albania, who are committed to the accession process.\u201d Her address highlighted the vital role of youth and civil society in shaping Europe\u2019s enlargement policy, particularly in the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n

By connecting with top decision-makers, civil society, and the next generation, Commissioner Kos\u2019s visit reinforces a shared vision of a more united and resilient Europe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
