A few key dates that tell the incredible story of an extraordinary journey:

📍 14 October 2024 – #Albania had opened zero negotiating chapters.

📍 17 November 2025 – Albania had opened all 33 negotiating chapters.

📍 26 May 2026 – Albania became the first negotiating country to achieve the #IBAR under the new methodology.

📍 14 July 2026 – Albania enters the final phase of negotiations by provisionally closing its first three chapters:

✅ Chapter 25 – Science and Research
✅ Chapter 26 – Education and Culture
✅ Chapter 30 – External Relations

What looks like dates on a timeline are in fact milestones that reflect an extraordinary transformation, the result of hard work, genuine and continued institutional commitment, strong determination, and unwavering political will.

When ambition is matched with delivery, progress becomes possible, visible, measurable, real.

The "enlargement wall" is changing again. 🇦🇱🇪🇺

Thank you, Secretary General @alain_berset . Albania signs these conventions not as a gesture, but as a commitment we intend to honour in law, in practice, and in our path toward the EU.

[Alain Berset @alain_berset]

Accountability for Ukraine. Human rights and democracy in the age of AI. Protection for lawyers.
These are essential building blocks of democratic security.

I thank Minister of Justice @ToniJGogu for his signatures on behalf of Albania of three Council of Europe conventions covering each of these areas.

E kam ndjekur me vëmendjen më të madhe shqetësimin e shprehur dhe kërkesën e drejtë dhe legjitime të studentëve shqiptarë në Maqedoninë e Veriut për dhënien e provimit në #gjuhën shqipe.

Përdorimi i gjuhës #amëtare është një e drejtë themelore, e garantuar nga #Kushtetuta e #Maqedonisë së Veriut dhe Ligji për Përdorimin e #Gjuhëve, e cila nuk mund dhe nuk duhet të ngushtohet apo vonohet nga asnjë procedurë. Nëse procedurat rezultojnë të mangëta apo të paqarta, është detyrim institucional që të gjenden zgjidhje të drejta dhe të qëndrueshme.

Kjo është një çështje që kërkon trajtim të matur dhe të përgjegjshëm, larg çdo përpjekjeje për #politizim. Ajo duhet adresuar me seriozitet institucional dhe në frymën e respektimit të të drejtave themelore.

#Demokracitë jo vetëm që kanë mekanizmat, por edhe pjekurinë e nevojshme për të gjetur zgjidhje ku harmonizohen shteti ligjor, legjislacioni dhe të drejtat e qytetarëve.

#Studentët meritojnë përgëzim për angazhimin qytetar dhe mënyrën demokratike me të cilën kanë artikuluar kërkesën e tyre. Kjo kërkon një përgjigje me të njëjtin standard #përgjegjshmërie, përmes dialogut konstruktiv dhe zgjidhjeve që respektojnë plotësisht të drejtat e garantuara.

📣À l’initiative de la France, les 38 États parties à la #ConventiondIstanbul ont réaffirmé leur engagement pour défendre les droits des femmes et des filles, et prévenir toutes les formes de violence qu’elles subissent, dans une déclaration conjointe.

Là où les femmes vivent libres de la violence, la société entière respire.
La Convention d’Istanbul nous rappelle que la lutte contre la violence n’est pas un choix, mais un devoir envers chaque femme.

➡️ Faire vivre la #démocratie, c’est créer des espaces de réflexion, s’inspirer de ce qui se fait ailleurs, renforcer la participation citoyenne, répondre à la défiance, mobiliser les jeunes...

C’est tout le sens du Forum mondial de la Démocratie, ouvert ce matin à #Strasbourg.

A very tough week.
3 yrs of 🇷🇺 aggression against 🇺🇦. 2 very brave 🇺🇦 women shared their stories of torture & sexual violence in 🇷🇺 detention. I cried.
Then the week unfolded.
Today my sadness is even deeper but the call for unity for 🇺🇦 is louder than ever.
