Albania has taken another significant step on the path towards integration into the European Union as it completed the so-called screening process as part of EU accession negotiations.
Albania has successfully completed the screening process for six thematic clusters in Brussels in November.
the screening process lasted 14 months, during which 777 presentations, took place with involvement of over 1500 Albanian experts and 1000 European Commission experts. A total of 300 explanatory and bilateral meetings on reviewing alignment of national legislation with EU acquis have been held since 2022. Completion of this process brings Albania closer to the European Union and makes the country more prepared for the next integration stages.
The next stage includes opening the first fundamentals cluster. It provides a fresh impetus for more intense commitment in order to speed up Albania’s EU accession process.
