Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke at the Socialist Party Assembly in Durrës. He rejected opposition claims. He called them a complete joke. The opposition said nine countries blocked Albania’s EU integration.
Rama said the opposition made similar claims before. He mentioned the Peace Board. Albania later received an invitation. Albania joined the board.
Rama explained the process. Albania completes reforms. The European Commission monitors progress. The Commission sends recommendations. Member states review them. All 27 countries must agree. One country can block a decision.
Rama said the process helps Albania. Reforms strengthen institutions. Reforms improve standards. Albania benefits directly.
He said politics in France or Germany could change. Such changes could affect decisions. Albania must still complete reforms.
Rama said Albania opened all negotiation chapters in 11 months. He called it unprecedented. He said Albania prepared for years.
He rejected the claim about nine vetoes. He said one country issues a veto. Nine countries mean a vote, not a veto.
Rama said the Commission delivered its report. Member states now ask questions. They hold several rounds. Questions are decreasing.
Rama said results may come by late April or early May. He repeated his position. There is no veto. There is only a process.
