The Bulgarian press has dedicated an article to Albania after the positive signals of Brussels for the opening of the negotiations. In his visit to Brussels, Prime Minister Rama met last week with EU President Donald Tusk, Commissioner Junker, with the Chief Diplomat Mogherini and several other senior officials of the Union, who jointly praised the progress of the reforms by stressing they hope in a decision to start membership talks early next year.
"Albania believes that 2018 will be an important year for Tirana and the region, as it is convinced that our and the neighboring countries have shown commitment and determination towards the Euro-Atlantic project," writes "IBNA", an agency based in Burgas.
In this article, the agency uses extensively quotations from Foreign Minister Ditmir Bushati. On January 1, 2018, the Council of Europe will be deployed for six months under the Bulgarian presidency with the official Sofia that has made it clear that will use this presidency to steadfastly push forward the Western Balkans European integration project..
