The European Union Ambassador to Tirana, Sofia Moreira de Sousa, held a meeting with representatives of civil society organizations, during which she presented the 2026 Albania Report.

In a post published on Tuesday, the EU Delegation announced that the meeting addressed issues related to the environment, transparency, land ownership rights, education and healthcare.

Representatives of civil society organizations also raised questions about how Albania’s progress in the European integration process is measured.

According to the EU Delegation, many of the concerns raised by civil society are also reflected in this year’s report. In this regard, the importance of public consultations and taking concrete measures to address the identified problems was emphasized.

Another issue highlighted was the need to ensure that adopted laws are accompanied by the necessary budgets for their implementation, including social policies.

“The accession process affects every part of society. For its results to be sustainable, this process must be inclusive,” the EU Delegation stated, adding that it would closely follow up on the issues discussed during the meeting.
