Rama: The opening of all chapters is an encouragement for us
During a communication with citizens on social networks, Prime Minister Edi Rama, among other things, praised the recent EU-Western Balkans summit held in Brussels. According to him, the opening of all negotiation chapters was considered an important encouragement for the country.
"We concluded an EU summit with the Western Balkans last night, which was encouraging, which was successful for Albania, yes, but also for Kosovo since we are on this topic, where for the sake of truth, I want to say, the President of Kosovo has excelled. She has excelled with convincing words, but also as a result of persistent work and good coordination that we have done in recent weeks, without wanting to take any credit here, she has finally managed to unblock all those funds blocked for some time by the EU.
As for Albania specifically, we are in conditions like we have never been before; maximally respected, maximally appreciated and maximally welcomed in the ''temple'' of political Europe, in Brussels where my position has been what you know and the way I have held my position has been what you know; bluntly, directly, without gloves because as I have said and I have told my EU friends and colleagues, I say what I think and then do what they say, in the sense that we do our ''homework'' correctly because we know very well that through that homework we will be part of the EU.
While, on the other hand, we speak our mind openly, straight to the point, without any complexes as equals among equals, and this has increased our value, I would say, at these tables.
I emphasized that the opening of all chapters is an encouragement for us, I reiterated the necessity for the Commission and the EU to stick to the agreement to close the negotiations within 2027, because you know how they are, sometimes they even "play" with the agreements; I reiterated my thesis that politically our membership and that of other Balkan countries must be accelerated and I guaranteed that we will continue the modernizing reforms, we will continue the efforts in the fight against those problems that they are very willing and accustomed to sum up in the fight against organized crime and corruption, but it is not only that, it is much more than that, much more complex than that and I am extremely pleased to tell you that once again, without modesty, I have honored you ", said Rama.
