Ahead of her engagements with EU representatives, Spiropali met with Albania’s ambassador to Brussels, Ferit Hoxha.

“Albania maintains an accelerated pace of negotiations to further support Albania’s transformation – each day a step closer to Europe,” Spiropali wrote on social media.

During her visit, Foreign Minister Spiropali is scheduled to meet European Commission Vice-President and EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, as well as Enlargement Commissioner Marta Kos.

Albania has opened 28 chapters in its accession negotiations and aims to open the remaining five by the end of the year. The government’s goal is to start closing chapters in 2026 and complete the process by 2027, with full EU membership targeted by 2030.
