Albania's application for membership to the European Union in April 2009 was a major landmark for a country that less than 20 years ago had emerged from communist rule as the poorest, most isolated, and most repressive state in Europe. Albania has made integration into EU structures the pinnacle of its transition process. While significant progress towards this goal has been made on many fronts, tremendous roadblocks still lie ahead on its road to EU accession. Albania must accelerate the momentum for deeper political, economic and social reform, and must renew its commitment to profound restructuring and change. The most crucial areas will be strengthening democracy and ensuring free and fair elections, respecting and enforcing the rule of law, and fighting against the phenomena of clientelism, corruption and bribery
