On November 27 2015, at the premises of the Mission of the Republic of Albania to the European Union, a meeting was organized with the Mission of Montenegro to the EU. Assessments for the state of play of the integration process of the respective countries were shared, with a specific focus on the assessments of the respective preparedness and reports for 2015, published by the European Commission on November 10, 2015.
The argument was made that the opening of the accession negotiations is a credible incentive for a candidate country to head in a more focused, efficient and result-oriented way in fulfilling the key priorities, as well as the obligations stemming from the SAA.
The meeting benefitted from the experience sharing of Montenegro in the preparation of the necessary structures for the negotiation of different chapters of the acquis communautaire, as well as of the dynamism and ownership that should be put into the negotiations.
