The German Minister of State for European Affairs, Michael Roth, declared on Thursday that EU will not make bargains with Albania and Macedonia regarding the accession talks.
He announced that EU praises Albania on the progress achieved until now and that they will not put it under the pressure of setting up refugee camps in order for negotiations to start.
"Albania and Macedonia have made quite a significant progress in their journey towards EU, therefore they should feel proud. Many reforms have been realized by them but there is still much work left to do. I think it is unjust to put Albania under the pressure of accepting refugees. Both states have already done a lot in helping us with refugee policies," Roth declared.
