Albania will be on the agenda of European Union discussions this Friday, 13 November 2026, as part of the accession negotiations process. A meeting of the Working Party on Enlargement and Countries Negotiating Accession to the EU will be held in Brussels to review several chapters of the negotiations for Albania and Montenegro.
According to the official announcement of the Council of the European Union, the meeting will be held at 10:00 in the Justus Lipsius building in Brussels.
For Albania, the agenda includes discussions on the EU’s common positions for three important negotiating chapters.
Specifically, Chapter 7, concerning intellectual property rights, Chapter 6 on company law, and Chapter 13, covering fisheries and aquaculture, will be examined.
For each of these chapters, an exchange of views between representatives of the member states and the relevant structures of the European Union is planned.
At the same meeting, a considerable part of the discussions will also be devoted to Montenegro, for which nine negotiating chapters have been included, among them transport, energy, taxation, financial services, justice, fundamental rights and the environment.
Also, the agenda includes a proposal to support the Armed Forces of Montenegro through the European Peace Facility.
Another important point of the meeting will be the presentation and discussion of the draft Council conclusions on enlargement, which relate to the progress of the accession process of candidate countries.
