This year, we also celebrate the decision of the European Union to open membership negotiations for Albania, a sign of the significant progress that Albania has made in implementing the necessary reforms for EU membership.
We commend Albania for its leadership as chair of the OSCE 2020 and appreciate all that it has done to demonstrate its commitment to the Transatlantic community.
