Albania has a population of approximately 3 million and an area of around 29,000 km².
It has had a Trade and Co-operation Agreement with the EU since 1992. The Stabilisation and Association Process started in 1999, but has not yet led to an EU Agreement.
Notes
Albania is not yet an EU applicant country. But, together with the other Western Balkan countries, Albania has been invited by the EU leaders and the EU Commission to apply for future membership of the EU. At the Thessaloniki Summit in June 2003, EU leaders were unequivocal that all Western Balkan countries will eventually join the EU.
