13/11 -European Union countries have agreed to back Albania's application for eventual entry into the 27-country bloc, an EU diplomat said.
The diplomat reported that ambassadors from the EU's member states had decided to ask the executive Commission to prepare an assessment of Albania's readiness to start membership talks.
The decision is expected to be approved by the bloc's foreign ministers at a meeting in Brussels on Nov.16-18.
Albania applied for candidate status in April and if the start of membership talks is allowed, Albanian will be required to carry out political and economic reforms to meet EU standards, a process that can take years but is a positive step forward.
Albania property investment in Albania land, residential and commercial property is advised before it is deemed a likelyhood of Albania joining the EU.
