But how far did the Government deal with Albania in foreign policy?

The Open Balkans is the process that has divided Kosovo and Albania into the context of foreign policy. Opposition statements by Prime Minister Albin Kurti to this process are known, and also Edi Rama's controversial statements, for not including Kosovo in the process.

Here is what Kurti and Rama's Open Balkans would declare at a joint conference in Pristina in 2022:

For “ ) Albin Kurti.

It is true that the Open Balkans do not unite us, but it is also true that the Open Balkans did not divide us. At this point we have different views”, Albanian Prime Minister” said ) Eddie Rama.

The Open Balkans would be the cause of even an aggressive discour towards Prime Minister Edi Rama. There are known long- range clashes of President Osmani's photographs with the Albanian prime minister.

Among the most brutal in vocabulary, it would be Foreign Minister Donika Grovalla, who declared in 2022 that he did. Edi Rama is becoming an unnecessary Vuciqi lawyer.

“It is true that we have Divergence as far as “Balkan opened”. We have dyvergence in connection with how often the prime minister without any need becomes Vucic's (Alexander) chief lawyer in countries and various international media, helping Vucic not become part of the common EU and US policy in relation to Russia's war in Ukraine. But, to be very honest, I think that never before have the concrete agreements we have with Albania been implemented at such speed as so far and have not been more in the sense that citizens on both sides of the border also in Albania and in Kosovo” had declared Gerla in an interview for the Voice of America. /Periscope
