Albania should implement a set of recommendations from the European Union in order to make headway in its bid to open accession talks, Christian Danielsson, director-general for Enlargement Negotiations at the European Commission, told Albanian Speaker Gramoz Ruci.

Albanian Parliament's press service informed Tuesday that during the meeting with Ruci, the EU senior official declared that Albania should take advantage of current positive climate in Europe by addressing the EU recommendations to open accession talks.

Danielsson welcomed priorities and the impressive agenda of Albania's Parliament, highlighting Parliament's role in addressing the EU integration challenges and praising personal commitment of Parliament Speaker Ruci to advance the country's integration agenda, the speaker's cabinet said.

On his part, the Parliament Speaker noted that despite different approaches, no differences exist among Albanian political parties on the country's path towards the EU.

Ruci also highlighted the Parliament's progress in its efforts to address the recommendations set forth by the European Commission in its reports.

The Speaker put emphasis particularly on the new steps towards implementation of the justice system reform through the approval of the vetting bodies that will screen Albanian prosecutors and judges for their moral integrity, professionalism and wealth.
