“We are Europeans. I have a slightly different approach to Alexander’s as to who was the biggest promoter of expansion over the last two years, it was not Emmanuel but Vladimir.
Europe needed Vladimir to attack Ukraine so that it would no longer be taken away because the Western Balkans are there.
On the other hand expansion means to expand. Ukraine is an expansion, the Western Balkans is not an expansion, practically a union, and it serves to understand that it makes no sense for something inside here to be separated from the organism, which can then become a source of very large infection.
When it comes to Albania, we are Europeans, stubbornly in love with Europe and we don’t take no for an answer. We will be with EU, even when it disappears and we will invite everyone who restarts from Albania and rebuild another EU.
I mean we are loyal. There is no chance that other actors like Russia will change our minds but it is not the same in the region.
The region is a space where Russia has a lot of influence. Before it’s too late, some things need to be done differently, starting with the growth plan.
On the other hand, it can happen even faster because the biggest problem is to convince the public opinion throughout Europe that we are accepting the Albanians and this is not easy, it is easier now.
But it does not mean that it will continue to be so in a few years because things can change again.
To create the conditions for the members of the Western Balkans to be more politically integrated in Europe without being a member. To have a meeting of ministers together, without BP participating. I believe that much more can be done. I think the time is favorable,” said Rama.
