Brussels, May 19, 2011 NOA - President Barroso has decided to postpone his visit to Albania that was scheduled for tomorrow.
The objective of his trip was to discuss Albania's European perspective and the way ahead on the country's European path, notably the implementation of the 12 key recommendations which the Commission presented in its 2010 Progress Report, - Natasha Butler, Spokesperson for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy Commissioner Stefan Füle, said.
However, the tensions related to the ongoing vote-count would undoubtedly affect the focus of the President's discussions with the country's political leaders and are not conducive to productive meetings. The President has therefore postponed his visit until the situation had normalized.
