Prime Minister Edi Rama addressed several key domestic and international issues in remarks to reporters in Dublin, where he is attending the European Political Community meeting.
Asked about the war in Ukraine and relations with Russia, Rama said it had been a mistake to focus exclusively on military support for Kyiv without keeping a channel of communication open with Moscow.
“It was a major mistake to focus solely on military support for Ukraine without having a channel of communication with Russia,” Rama said.
The prime minister was also asked about Jared Kushner’s investment in Sazan Island. Rama denied that the island had been sold or that a final agreement had been reached, saying negotiations had been ongoing for three years.
“The island has not been sold. We’ve been negotiating and holding talks for three years, and the Republic of Albania is reviewing all the procedures related to the investment,” he said.
Rama also spoke about Albania’s European integration process, reaffirming the country’s commitment to joining the European Union. He said decisions about Albania’s future and its political direction were for Albanian citizens to make.
Speaking in Dublin, Rama also discussed Albania’s role in organising upcoming European summits as part of the country’s involvement in forums and initiatives for cooperation across Europe.
