Rama: We Albanians think we're older, Greeks think monkeys came after them

In the address given, in addition to the criticism he addressed to the EU that is not moving in relation to Balkan states, Rama made battas for the Balkans as well. What got attention was the battle for the historic “truths about the old Balkan peoples. Rama, in this respect, cited the race between Albanians and Greeks as who is the oldest in Gadishul.

In the Balkans we all have in mind that we are the oldest. We Albanians think we're the oldest, the ones who came after monkeys in Darwin's evolution. If you ask the Serbs there's no room left, let alone the Greeks who think the monkeys themselves came after the Greeks. Let's go to the Turks, they can start a big fight if it's Turkish coffee or Greek coffee. A strong enough coffee to keep you from trying. So even the northerns and Bulgarians alike have said Rama.

Prime Minister Rama, who last week was tough with the EU during his speech in Austria, acknowledged that not only The EU is to blame for not extending its hand to the Western Balkan region.

So you have patience with us dear friends and don't forget and despite our problems I have to stress, because that doesn't mean that we're the victim of some injustice is not as simple as that. We're all victims of our own history, and we're all victims of ourselves, but we're good people, we're loyal people, and we're crazy, so you better have us with you. So when we're with you, you may have the best of being loyal to being good, our madness can be ours when you deal with the others” has stressed Rama.
