Albania has sought accession to the European Union (EU) which has benefited its telecoms
sector through closer scrutiny of its regulatory regime and through the injection of funding
to help modernise infrastructure. Albania signed a Stabilisation and Association Agreement
with the EU, which came into force in the mid-2009. As part of the EU pre-accession process,
Albania has received financial aid to build public institutions and improve cross-border
co-operation under the EU Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance funding mechanism. See table of
