(ANSA) - BRUSSELS, OCTOBER 15 - The decision on the opening of EU accession negotiations for Albania and North Macedonia is delayed until the European Council on Thursday and Friday in Brussels. According to reports, the unanimity required for the go-ahead to the negotiations was not reached at the meeting in Luxembourg at the General Affairs Council.

The discussion will continue Thursday between the EU heads of state and government. France, which has always opposed the start of negotiations, was the only state to have vetoed both countries. The Netherlands were against Albania. (ANSA).
