Edi Rama: We Want to Build European Albania in an Open Balkans

“This is only the end of a path towards the EU”. That is how Prime Minister Edi Rama described this historic day for Albania during the conference, held on the eve of starting negotiations for our country in Brussels.

He said they want to build a strong Albania in an open and democratic Balkans.

War on the other hand created a difficult situation. I thank Pete for being present today to push forward the full integration of the Western Balkans.

This is not the beginning of the end but is the end of the beginning. The situation is what it is and it's good as it is. We want to establish a European and strong Albania in an open and strong Balkans”, Rama said.
