The entire integration process is about security and stability in the Western Balkans. That\u2019s why I cannot give time to those who are involved in doing what they shouldn\u2019t be\u201d, the EU Commissioner said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe really appreciate Albania\u2019s patience and we ask for a little bit more patience from your side. The aim is to achieve this [opening negotiations] during the French Presidency\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The fact that there is still no decision about Albania, doesn\u2019t mean that the EU is playing around with the Western Balkan nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is a serious situation. It is not Albania who is being played around, so the EU is playing around with itself. However, this is a strong declaration from a Commissioner. We need to promote the achievements of every candidate country when the criteria are fulfilled\u201d, Varhelyi said.<\/p>\n<p>The EU commissioner said the scope behind the tour comes amid fears that security has been compromised.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEU\u2019s security is being compromised, that is why we need to do this now, as our credibility is being questioned\u201d, he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2022\/04\/26\/lajcak-region-must-use-momentum-for-eu-integration\/\">Lajcak: Region must use momentum for EU integration<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2022\/01\/18\/germany-reiterates-support-on-albanias-eu-integration\/\">Germany reiterates support on Albania\u2019s EU integration<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2022\/01\/03\/french-ambassador-albania-and-n-macedonia-cant-be-decoupled-in-the-eu-integration-process\/\">French ambassador: Albania and N.
