How do the witnesses explain the delay? Are there obstacles at European Council level to fast-tracking Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina's applications? I know the witnesses will be diplomatic but I am trying to ask who is not supporting Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina's applications at European Council level. If the witnesses do not want to answer that question directly, that is fine. Apart from what Albania and Bosnia and Herzegovina can do domestically in their reforms and so forth, is there a bigger agenda at European Council level which is negative as far as the applications of the two countries are concerned? I know the witnesses will answer that question diplomatically and as best they can.
