European Union Ambassador to Tirana, Romana Vlahutin, said on Wednesday that the EU-appointed foreign ministers’ calendar is to open negotiations in June 2019 if everything goes according to the forecasts.

“Albania has received three very important things, the first one is the acknowledgment of the recommendation and the acknowledgment of all the work and reforms that have been conducted, this is very important.

The second one is a clear calendar, also for the intergovernmental conference so you have seen there is a clear calendar, another thing which is very important so we don’t need to discuss dates.

And the third one, also the Commission has an intention to start the preparatory work. This preparatory work will take time it’s very important, it has to happen and I will have all the details about this preparatory work very soon and I will of course share it with you but it takes preparations both from the EU side and the Albanian side”,
