"Mr President, I am a positive person. I always look upon the glass as half full, but when it comes to Albania this can, at times, be a little difficult. I think that the European Union is sending out a clear message. We are going to liberalise the visa regime for Albanian citizens who wish to travel to Europe. That is something which is very important to me, but I hope that the Albanian authorities – that is, the opposition and the government – understand that they have to stop being perpetually at loggerheads, because they have much to gain from EU membership. Here, I am echoing the words of Mrs Pack. The citizens of Albania stand to reap major benefits from freedom of the press, the equal treatment of women and an improvement in the status of gays and lesbians and of the disabled. Albania also now has to make arrangements for the reception of asylum seekers. The country is edging closer to a democracy, and I hope that it will accept the hand that we are reaching out to it in that regard."@en1
