TIRANA, June 28 – Belgium has become the 21st country to ratify Albania’s Stabilization and Association Agreement signed with the European Union two years ago.
The SAA is the pre-membership agreement that sets the country on the path toward membership, though no date has been set for membership. Many Albanian politicians, especially those among the opposition Socialists, say that the country should also apply for EU candidate status this autumn, though Europe has made it clear the country is not yet ready.
