Albania could take on a new role in European Union institutions even before it officially becomes a member. According to internal European Commission documents obtained by the "Rapporteur", the possibility is being considered that candidate countries could appoint a commissioner in Brussels after they have signed the accession treaty, but before ratification by all member states is complete.

This would constitute a significant change in the EU enlargement process. The Commissioner of a candidate country would be able to participate in meetings of the College of Commissioners on issues relating to his country and contribute to the discussion of European policies, while the collective responsibility and autonomy of the Commission would be preserved.

The European Commission document states that it is appropriate to consider the possibility that a country in the accession process could appoint a Commissioner during this period. Such a development would be historic, as until now the post of Commissioner has been linked to EU member states.

The proposal comes at a time when the European Union is looking for ways to accelerate the gradual integration of candidate countries, without waiting for the full completion of the membership process. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has started her tour of the Western Balkans, while the Commission is expected to present a new enlargement strategy on October 6.

According to the plan under consideration, the inclusion of candidate countries in European structures could begin even before full membership. After the conclusion of accession negotiations, the countries could participate as observers in the European Council, where they could also be represented by their political leaders.

Meanwhile, after signing the accession treaty, candidates can also send observers to the European Parliament, gaining more direct involvement in EU decision-making processes.

The European Commission is also considering gradually expanding the participation of candidate countries in the single market and in various European programmes. This includes areas such as payments in euro, scientific research through the Horizon programme, the carbon market, digital public services, cybersecurity and strategic projects in technology and energy.

In European Commission documents, security and defense are identified as one of the areas that should have priority in this gradual integration process.

For Albania, such a model would mean greater involvement in EU structures and policies before formal membership. However, it is a strategy that is still under review by European institutions and not a final EU decision.
