Decision n. 91, dated 9 February 2022 on the approval of the National Plan for European Integration 2022-2024.

This Decision approves the Albanian National Plan for European Integration aimed for the period from the year 2022 until the year 2024 (full text of the Plan is part of this Decision). The National Plan for European Integration aims to coordinate this approximation process while aiming simultaneously at the fulfilment of the obligations under the Stabilisation and Association Agreement and the obligations that arise as part of the process of membership in the European Union. Timely and quality drafting of the Plan and its monitoring are a precondition to accelerate the process of approximation of Albanian legislation with the acquis of the European Union. The European integration has been one of the most important priorities of the foreign policy of Albania and the driving force for achieving economic well-being, social welfare and political stability. Albania is a candidate country after the June 2014 Meeting of the Council of the European Union in Brussels. Being awarded the candidate status was a result of Albania's reform efforts in recent years and the EU confirmation of the efforts made and the progress achieved on the path to Albania's accession.
