Dr. Skënder Demaliaj

Abstract
The process of integration of Albania into the EU is a multidimensional process, in which
psychological factors are an integral part of this process. It is important to increase confidence
among Albanians, that it this process will not delay the accession to the EU, creating a positive
atmosphere and enthusiasm. Eu integration is a duty, responsibility and investment of
Albanians and all political forces. EU Integration of Albania is an objective process, irreversible
and the biggest project of Albanians since the collapse of totalitarian system. In this sense this
paper analyzes the importance of EU accession to the EU and psychological factors faced
with this process.
Keywords: factors, awareness, integration, communication, responsibility.

being part of EU nations, which invites every country that respects “the principle of
freedom, democracy and human rights for rule of Law.”
- Second, all citizens including the political class must feel a deep sense of
responsibility, where each one of us puts or takes off a brick on the brick wall along
the process. Self-consciousness and psychological preparation must be part of it. A
students’ song in US says:” Our world would be brighter if each one of us would light
up a small candle.”
We have to become part of EU with dignity, with our ethno-psychological features
and our own identity. The motivation of getting closer to the achieved success, curiosity
and interest, encourages the individuals to self improve and also helps others to move
