  • National Report on the Follow-Up to the Regional Implementation
    National Report on the Follow-Up to the Regional Implementation Strategy (RIS) of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) in Albania during the period 2012-16 Executive summary Approximately 500 to 700 words (1-1.5 A4 pages, single-spaced). Please provide an executive summary according to the structure below: Methods used for this report; in particular, details of the bottom-up participatory approach used, if any Brief review of national progress in fulfilling (or lagging behind) the commitments of MIPAA/RIS. Include three to five major achievements since 2012 and three to five important aspects to be improved in the future Conclusion. This is the second report of Albania on regard of Madrid Plan on Ageing. For the first time, it is assured a high degree of participation from diverse sources and actors. Besides, using a number of reports, studies and analyses on ageing, produced since 2012 more than 20 stakeholders were invited to contribute with their information and experiences about progress and challenges during implementation of MIPAA/RIS. The instrument for stakeholders prepared by UNECE secretariat was translated into Albanian and discussed in two meetings with all relevant actors; one meeting dedicated to ministries and other state institutions and the other to non-governmental organizations. Albanian population ageing is characterized by relatively late demographic transition and high emigration rate. Albania has been acting in many areas since the Vienna Conference and its government has put ageing issues into its main priorities. A good example of it is the mainstreaming of ageing issues into the principal political document of the country such as strategy for development and integration 2015-2020, as well as, in the new Social Inclusion Policy Document 2016-2020.

  • The Visegrad Four and the Western Balkans Six5
    European Scientific Journal October 2015 /SPECIAL/ edition Vol.1 ISSN: 1857 – 7881 (Print) e - ISSN 1857- 7431 VISEGRAD MEETS VISEGRAD: THE VISEGRAD FOUR AND THE WESTERN BALKANS SIX5 Denisa Ciderova Dubravka Kovacevic University of Economics in Bratislava, Slovak Republic Abstract Enlargements of the European Union (EU) over the recent decade have not just expanded its territory or increased the headcount of its Single Market; by almost doubling the number of its Member States (MSs) the EU faces multifaceted implications beyond any doubt. Having been challenged by multiple transformation, the Central and East European Countries (CEECs) assumed their rights just like obligations associated with EU membership upon completion of transitional periods intended to allow for as much a smooth integration process as possible. Accession to the EU reinforced their prestige internationally to the extent of intensity of their participation (i.e. in terms of “mere“ EU membership, or even complemented by a single currency in the Euro Area, and/or single external EU border in the Schengen Area). Gradually, they aspire to maximise their inward financial flow from the common EU budget while simultaneously “catching up“ with the “Western“ degree of political and economic development; post- Cold-war democracies increasingly engage in institutional representation, coalition building and pursuit of own interests amidst the EU arena, too. In this respect we streamline our focus to the Western Balkans and the shaping concept of the so-called Western Balkans Six with the aim to hint prospects of cooperation inspired by the Visegrad Group alias the Visegrad Four (V4). Key Words: European integration, European Union enlargement, Visegrad6,7, Visegrad Four, Western Balkans Six 5 This article results from scientific research conducted at the University of Economics in Bratislava in the framework of: the VEGA project No.
