Rama: Kosovo story helps us feel Ukraine's great pain

Even though the cruelty of this war cannot be perceived enough and how well none other than Ukrainian people should be, let me tell you honorary President Zelensky, that our close story where half a million Albanians emigrated with the violence of ethnic cleansing from their lands in Kosovo and took refuge in Albania helps us anyway to feel the great pain of Ukraine<1>, he said.

He said that with their war, the Ukrainian people are serving the whole world, as he put it, the sleepy democratic “”.

The destruction of mothers and children from fathers who stand to fight, the mobilization of girls who take up arms to resist, your steadfast centre, at the head of the state that refuses to hand over the acquired freedoms, all images and evidence of this unimaginable tragedy until the day of the entrance of Russian troops into the sovereign territory of Ukraine, are in addition to the extreme sacrifice of a lyrable people and an invaluable service that you and your country are doing all over the world until yesterday of the sleepy democratic Democratic tragedy, said Rama.

The Albanian prime minister, among other things, recalls an earlier conversation with the Ukrainian president, Klankosova.tv conveys.

Our dear friend, President Zelensky, often remembers our conversation in Kiev this time, with your wish that Albania become the country where Ukrainians had second homes for their holidays. “We're so close to being so far”, you said with the pleasure of someone who's discovered a beautiful place near the house. We already know that this war may not be brief, as each day goes through new horrors, extends the very narrow path to peace”, he said.

At the end of the talk, Rama again expressed in the name of Albanians, support and respect for Ukraine.

I sincerely believe Mr. President that if today the Ukrainians are coming to Albania to protect their children from the war, tomorrow your wish for them to come here, to their second home to spend a family happy vacation, will become a reality. Me and all of us here would like to tell you today a lot of things, but you have certainly many more important things to do. The president, therefore on behalf of all Albania and Albanians, expresses all our support, respect and friendship. God be with you and the heroic Ukraine”, Rama said further.
