13/06/2012 (Agence Europe) - Accession process, lack of positive signals. On Tuesday 12 June, the spokesperson to Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Füle, Peter Stano, stressed that it is “hard to see any positive signals bringing Albania and its people closer to the next stages of its process of accession” to the EU. The spokesperson added that the EU has taken note of the elections in Albania, and that it is closely and generally following political developments in Albania. The right-wing coalition candidate, Bujar Nishani, was elected president of the Republic on Monday 11 June, after the fourth round of elections and with the Socialist opposition having boycotted the parliamentary vote.
