Prime Minister Edi Rama is in Brussels together with a negotiating team, where he will participate in the 8th Intergovernmental Conference between Albania and the European Union regarding the accession negotiation process.
In a statement to the media shortly before the start of the conference, Rama said that this is a very important moment for Albania.
“This is a very, very important moment in our journey toward membership, and it is a moment we have worked very hard for over a long period of time. It is also a moment when, if I may put it this way, half of the work regarding the opened chapters will be completed, while the other half of the closing process will begin,” Rama said.
Rama emphasized that Albania, as one of the most pro-European countries, is ready to continue moving forward.
“Listen, Albania is a country that has always been 100% aligned with the EU’s foreign policy, so we have never felt any desire to imagine having a veto, being the most pro-European Union and pro-Atlantic country in Europe. And when I say the most pro-EU country, I am referring to the EU barometer, not simply our own opinion. We are EU fanatics, and EU fanatics cannot place a veto on EU decisions,” he stated.
