The paths of Albania and North Macedonia to the EU are divided

Albania's EU accession path will be separated from that of North Macedonia, with the first groups of negotiations to be officially opened on October 15.

The news is announced by Euractiv , referring to a unanimous decision of the ambassadors of the member countries of the European Union, yesterday.

The path of the two Western Balkan countries to EU membership was accompanied by the start of negotiations officially launched in the summer of 2022. However, due to disputes between Skopje and Bulgaria, the actual opening of the chapters has been postponed indefinitely. directly influencing the progress of Tirana.

But now, the next step is expected to be taken by Albania in mid-October within the framework of the intergovernmental conference and the opening of "Cluster 1 - Fundamentals".

This group includes several chapters: Procurement, Statistics, Judiciary and fundamental rights, justice, freedom and security, and financial control.

This is good news for Albania in its efforts to meet the requirements to advance on its way to the EU, but it is a setback for North Macedonia, which once again fails to take a decisive step towards EU membership. EU.

After several years of disagreement, Bulgaria and North Macedonia agreed in July 2022 that the RMV would amend the Constitution and include the Bulgarian minority along with other minorities referred to as "the Turkish people, the Vlach people, the Serbian people, the Roma, the Bosnian people and to others".

This would cause Sofia to lift the veto and the Skopje talks progress.

However, the agreement has not been implemented due to the lack of political will and consensus in North Macedonia.

Currently, 100,000 Macedonian citizens have obtained Bulgarian citizenship, which means that they have proven their Bulgarian roots.

Since the nationalist party VMRO-DPMNE won the elections last May, the new government of Hristijan Mickoski has made it clear that it wants to renegotiate the so-called "French compromise".

As expected, the EU rejected this position and warned that the next step would be to separate North Macedonia from Albania and give Tirana the chance to advance.

After the May elections, North Macedonia faced off against its Greek and Bulgarian EU neighbors. First, the new president of North Macedonia, Gordana Siljanovska-Davkova, defied Greece by not using the constitutional name "North Macedonia" during her inauguration speech.

North Macedonia added the name "North" in 2018 to end a long-standing dispute with Greece, following the historic Prespa agreement.
