In a statement to the media, Rama said the process for its replacement was not initiated by the Albanian government, but by the US State Department.
No ethics of any kind has been broken, and the process of replacing the ambassador has been launched as stated by the Foreign Ministry. Of course, we haven't started the process, the State Department has launched it, as in all ambassadors, when it comes to US ambassadors. It's special to America, we don't comment on all the ambassadors, because even if we came up with it, nobody would mind, right?
No, climbing between me and the ambassador is stronger than ever, we can use the metaphor with crack and climbing. There's no problem, we had a long, constructive, friendly meeting yesterday, there's no problem. So who hopes for the crack, he makes a mistake, he stressed.
US Ambassador Yuri Kim responded to the discussion regarding her mandate, stressing that it would be a little longer in Albania.
At the “Judiciary Quality” conference, Kim said Albanians are feeling the results of reform in justice, but encouraged for more.
According to the ambassador, despite the progress achieved, it is not time to say enough and rest, but to work harder. /euronews
