The talks centred on Albania's path towards EU membership. Ambassador Mazi brought State Secretary Dovžan up to speed on the details of the progress achieved thus far, especially concerning the efforts to implement recommended reforms. According to State Secretary Dovžan, Albania has made very good progress in the accession process. He pledged continued support and reiterated Slovenia’s readiness to share with Albanian representatives its experience and lessons learned to help Albania advance in the integration efforts.

State Secretary Dovžan welcomed the EU's decision to open accession talks with Albania, adopted this March, underscoring the importance of pursuing reforms in the priority areas as identified by the European Commission: the judiciary and the fight against corruption and organised crime, all within the set deadlines.
