Syri TV “KAFE SHQETO” – Gjipali: We all aim for membership in the EU, but first we must meet the conditions of the EU, 25 September 2024

Gledis Gjipali, the Executive Director of the European Movement in Albania, invited to the morning show “KAFE SHQETO” moderated by journalist Flavio Qarri on Syri TV, stated that there is a noticeable standstill in the European integration process. He presented his perspective, emphasizing that there are questions on both sides, as reforms have not advanced as they should have at times when we had support, or in other words, when we should have received the green light from the EU. Currently, the obstacles come from the EU, primarily due to the Greek veto, and this is clear at this stage of the process, as it should be analysed through its phases. At this moment, we all aim for membership, but there are significant steps that need to be fulfilled, such as the implementation of reforms and the enhancement of standards, prior to the achievement of membership. In conclusion, he mentioned that we are now in the phase of the practical opening of negotiations; although the political decision has been made by the EU, discussions have not yet started after two years.
