Hahn: EU to back entry talks with Albania and Macedonia
By EUobserver
"The EU Commission will soon recommend, most likely by the summer, that member states begin accession negotiations with Albania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia," EU enlargement commissioner Johannes Hahn has said. "We believe that both countries have made important reforms in the past, and are thus qualified for this step," he told Germany's Die Welt newspaper in an interview published on Thursday.
