Edi Rama from Brussels: I won third term, and the EU has not yet opened negotiations

Rama said he won the third mandate and the EU has not yet opened the negotiations.

We'd appreciate it if this community of Europe stood up to be together in a common house, despite the dirty floors, but we'd stay together”.

The key theme was North Macedonia. It was once and 17 years later Macedonia is still waiting as a candidate for the opening of negotiations, it changed its name but made no difference. Imagine Francis or Italy changing its name. It was very important to tell the truth that the reason is not just Bulgaria. But it is the warped spirit of enlargement, and Bulgaria is its most visible expression, so the spirit of enlargement has passed from a community's common vision to being taken hostage by a state of”, Rama said.

Albania's prime minister said he feels bad about being a friend in Europe rather than part of the European family. However, not even the prime minister's sense of humor has been missed. He said the path towards integration will continue and hopes that next century our country will be part of the EU.

We are European and we want to be found among Europeans. It feels bad because we still can't be here as Europeans, but as friends in a divided house. It is very disturbing that even the attack on a global pandemic, a tragic sum, and not even such a threatening war that can turn into a tragic global war has not been able to bring together. We have a lot to do and on the one hand I think we've done and done a lot to support President Macro's idea of the goal that is desired political and strategic. We will continue with the road to membership in the hope of being a member next century. We're going to be facing a Bulgaria here, a Bulgaria there,”.

Prime Minister Rama stressed that the EU again did not keep its word on the integration of Albania and Northern Macedonia. /Periscopi/
