“Brussels don't make gifts. We deserved the opening of the negotiations”

The prime minister said the recommendation was given without reservation, and also gathered the media that dealt with his breath in the statement made after the protest on Nation Street.

I'm excited and breathing people may feel it, but I'm very proud because we made it through this difficult exam. We gave Albania a new figure in the international arena and came out of another crossroads between the past and the future. The road beyond the crossroads, as long as it is all open before us”, the prime minister said.

The next station, Rama says, is membership, while sharing its merits with its predecessors.

“A thank you to those who gave less and more a hand to build a single section of the road for Albanians, the one towards the EU”, he followed.

Rama considers the recommendation of opening negotiations fully deserved.

“Europe does not make gifts, and Brussels is a ruthless machine that sees and recognises only merits. The recommendation is recognition of our problems in the area of reforms and with real war against enemies of society and state, crime and corruption”, he says.
