European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas praised Albania’s progress toward EU membership and said the EU is ready to welcome Albania and Montenegro as future members.
Speaking in an interview with a Bosnian news agency, Kallas said the European Union will accelerate its enlargement process and identified the integration of the Western Balkans as a strategic priority for Europe’s security, stability, and future.
She stressed that the EU sees Albania as a strong candidate and has the capacity to admit the country when it meets the necessary conditions. Kallas also emphasized that enlargement is not a competition between countries but a shared effort that strengthens both the European Union and the Western Balkans.
Calling EU accession a two-way process, Kallas urged candidate countries to continue implementing reforms while encouraging the European Union to maintain its commitment to enlargement. She said closer cooperation and sustained reform efforts will help bring Albania and the rest of the Western Balkans closer to full EU membership.
