On Sunday afternoon, President von der Leyen will meet the President of Albania, Bajram Begaj, and the Prime Minister, Edi Rama, to discuss Albania&#8217;s EU accession process. President von der Leyen and Prime Minister Rama will hold a press conference following their meeting, at +\/- 17:30 CEST, which will be broadcast live on EbS.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, President von der Leyen will be joined by Commissioner for Neighbourhood and Enlargement, Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi, to participate in the Berlin Process Summit. The Summit will bring together Heads of State or Government from the Western Balkans.<\/p>\n<p>The Summit will be an opportunity to discuss with regional leaders the new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, currently under preparation by the Commission, which aims to bring some of the benefits of EU membership to the people of the Western Balkans already now, through integration into the Single Market, regional economic cooperation, and the acceleration of fundamental reforms, and increased financial support.<\/p>\n<p>The plan will complement the support already provided under the EU&#8217;s \u20ac30 billion Economic and Investment Plan launched in 2020, which has mobilised so far \u20ac16 billion in investments for flagships projects.<\/p>\n<p>During the Summit, the Western Balkans leaders will discuss progress on the Western Balkans Common Regional Market, including the implementation of the regional mobility agreements signed last year in Berlin. The Summit will also acknowledge the recent voluntary reduction of roaming charges between the region and the EU, for which the support of the Commission and the Regional Cooperation Council was fundamental.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the Western Balkans partners will endorse a series of joint statements concerning cooperation in fields such as climate and pollution, digital transition, trade and transport facilitation, the ambition to join the Single Euro Payment Area and the intention of establishing a convergence observatory.\u00a0 Also on Monday, the President will participate in the inauguration of the liaison office of the College of Europe in Tirana.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/ec.europa.eu\/commission\/presscorner\/detail\/en\/mex_23_4963\">European Commission<\/a> <\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/president-von-der-leyen-travels-to-tirana-discusses-accession-process-new-growth-plan-for-the-western-balkans-and-participates-in-the-berlin-process-summit\/\">President von der Leyen travels to Tirana, discusses accession process, new Growth Plan for the Western Balkans, and participates in the Berlin Process Summit<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2724,11852,606,607,608,11853,11854],"class_list":["post-117739","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-berlin","tag-tirana","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien","tag-vonder-leyen","tag-west-balkan"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=117739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/117739\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=117739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=117739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=117739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
