Rama reacts to Serbian flags: Shame will keep those who have it, not me

The commentator wrote to Rama that the crime, massacres and rapes flag was erected in Tirana today.

The truth is that the day I visited Belgrade, Serbia's capital was filled with Albanian flags and hooligans burning a flag were arrested by the police; the truth is that in Belgrade I speak Albanian and defend the interests of all Albanians and Albania, of course; the truth is that in Belgrade I've sought the recognition of Kosovo from Serbia, right in the Presidential Palace of Serbia; and then you made me a hero, but then I'm not a hero and I'm not a traitor now, I'm just the prime minister of Albania; the truth is that the Balkans is not only the future of the region, but also the strategic interest of the Albanian nation; it's true and then you're going to forget that tomorrow, and that I'm not going to be a traitor, but the Albanian government's going to have been able to keep up with the rest.

Tirana is decorated with the flags of Serbia and Northern Macedonia, to host Edi Rama's two collaborators there in “Open Balkans”, Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq and outgoing Macedonian Prime Minister Zoran Zaev.

Former Prime Minister Sali Berisha has called for protest to reject Vuciqi's trip to Tirana. Some of the participants have set fire to and on a Serbian flag. After that move, they have called against Serbia and against the Open Balkans initiative.

For “Open Balkans” so far, only Serbia, Albania and Northern Macedonia are involved. All Kosovo governments and prime ministers who have been in office since the start of this project have opposed it.
