Albania Delivers EU Questionnaire
TIRANA, April 15. Looking to speed up its EU integration process, Albania delivered this week the answers to the EU questionnaire on the country’s candidate status application. The delivery was done well ahead of the EU deadline.

Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha delivered a copy of the questionnaire in person to the EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fuele, who congratulated Albania for meeting conditions for visa liberalization and assured that the assessment to the questionnaire would be fair and balanced.

Tirana expects to get the positive answer on that request this year.

Albania’s responses to the EU pre-accession questionnaire are included in the several hundred page long document that the prime minister delivered to Fuele, calling it “the largest book printed in Albanian history”.
