The head of the SP parliamentary group, Taulant Balla, in a statement to the media outside the Parliament hall, stated that Albania is a model for achievements in the integration process.

He said that the government's ambition is to conclude negotiations by 2027.

"In a way, the colossal work done by many state institutions, involved in this process of addressing what we have called intermediate milestones, is approved. Among the 23-24 chapters in the history of the EU, they are the ones that are opened first and closed last. From the addresses of Germany, a leading country, it is said that; Albania with the reform in justice, organized crime, is a model for other aspiring countries.

This important week ends tomorrow with the community of representatives. We had yesterday, it was made public that Italy and Austria have come up with a proposal to accelerate the process for the Western Balkan countries, among them Albania. Membership in phases does not harm us. Our ambition is to close the negotiations by 2027. At the end of 2027, the negotiations will close and then the ball is no longer in the court of the aspiring countries, but in the court of the member countries. This is a long process, it requires the involvement of the Parliament, the involvement of the people may also be required by referendum," he said.
