Abstract
<h4>Civil Society Organizations role in the EU Integration: A Survey </h4><h4>Mirjam Reçi University "Aleksander Moisiu" Durres</h4><h4>In this study, an anonymous survey was conducted among 26 local and national non-profit organizations operating in Tirana, Albania and other municipalities. The prepared questionnaire held particular importance in the context of this master's thesis for several key reasons. Firstly, its aim was to identify and analyse the role and impact of civil society organizations in Albania's European integration process. The questionnaire was designed to provide a comprehensive and detailed insight into the contribution of these organizations in advocating for reforms, engaging citizens, and addressing global challenges, including climate change, migration, and cyber security. Secondly, this study provided an in-depth analysis of the perceived successes and challenges that civil society organizations face during their engagement in the European integration process. Qualitative questions were designed to reveal the complex dynamics of CSO participation while quantitative questions provided an objective assessment of their effectiveness. Thirdly, the analysis of the questionnaire results served as a crucial data source for the master's thesis. The experiences and knowledge gathered will contribute to developing a strong and sustainable argument on how civil society organizations can play a key role in improving the European integration process in Albania. Twenty-six Civil Society Organizations responded to this anonymous online survey. These CSOs represent both large and small municipalities across Albania, including Tirana, Elbasan, Durres, Korça, and Kukes.</h4><h4 style="text-align:justify;"> </h4><h4> </h4><p> </p>
