Europe is at the same point as 100 years ago, Hasani says from Ankara

That is how it refers to dynamics in the European Union and the Western Balkans, being self-communicating as the happy “”, which is not a European union but a literal European in all aspects, during a panel on EU capacity to shape global transitions, during Ankara's Diplomatic Forum in Turkey.

Attention on this panel has also been multilatheralism and recent developments in reports between countries within and beyond the Union.

For Hasan, multilaterism is suffering specifically in the last two decades.

We have a UN Security Council that is dysfunctional, which is unable to offer what is expected of it. We have several international organisations that cannot and are not giving what is expected of them. And here I am. EC, O The SEU, and several other similar entities in Euro-Atlantic and Euro-Asian spaces, cited it during the word taken.

However, the structures are clear to him that they are united by values that create liberal democracies, given the rule of law and free market.

But, the world, the Albanian top diplomat mentions, is no longer seeing the facts the same way, just as the world no longer sees the facts in different perspectives.

This is about fighting the Russian Federation's aggression against Ukraine and how we, the international community of all colors, act and behave toward it.

The situation in Gaza as well, where Hamas' terrible attacks were not condemned at least by Palestine in the initial phase.

But at the same time, we must condemn and raise our voices for the serious humanitarian situation that is there and also find solutions that are always based on what we strongly believe in, on the solution of two states and two peoples in the region, but also everything that is coming up and everything that is being produced is immediately reflected in the region”.

As an added example, Hasan brings the Western Balkans itself, which is a small area in Europe and does not exceed 20 million inhabitants but has always been a place in conflict and before the war in Ukraine, it was viewed as the real powder barrel in Europe.

Before the war in Ukraine, it was right in our part of the world”, he recounts. “We are still grey areas in Europe's stomach, as my prime minister would say, surrounded by a European Union border, but we are not yet integrated, still struggling to develop those three elements that I previously mentioned liberal democracy based on the rule of law, free market economies and aim higher for basic human freedom and rights”.

By asking themselves if the situation is really so bleak, Hasan answers with a “

It's because it's not just about strong security. We're fighting. We're trapped. We're going back on many issues, including climate change, the way we treat the environment, the way we interact, the way we interact with global crises, the way we went with the national agenda, even in response to the David-19” pandemic.

What he's trying to do is the fact that no one would ever think that in the 2023-24th century, Europeans would behave exactly as in the last century, with the same models and trends.

“Actors have changed”, followed, “but situations are similar and we really have to stand for our fundamental rights”.

In closing, Hasan also says that we should truly stick to the institutions we have created and should not behave as instinct entities.

“Man has agreed to create states, and states have agreed to create international institutions, not to be instincts. Unfortunately, this is the new trend. And the only answer to this is continuous efforts to strengthen multilatheralism”, complete.
