Rama: Albania - EU Intergovernmental Conference on May 26 opens the final phase

Prime Minister Rama reacted this morning regarding the passing of the technical phase of the IBAR report, addressing the opposition that claimed that the negotiation process had been blocked.

Rama wrote that on May 26 in Brussels, the Albania - EU Intergovernmental Conference successfully sealed the introductory phase and opened the concluding phase of the membership negotiations.

According to him, "unlike how those who always lose in the end talk about it day and night, the European Albania we are building is a success story."

The full reaction of Prime Minister Edi Rama:

They said the negotiations were blocked.

They said Albania was punished.

They said Europe woke up and the drug regime was discovered.

They took to the streets with Molotov cocktails, to burn Albania in the eyes of foreigners. They took to Europe with bags of mud and dirt, to smear Albania in the eyes of foreigners. They were deceived, as always, by their own minds, and they also deceived the increasingly few who go with that mind.

They lost again. And Albania won again.

On May 26 in Brussels, the Albania-EU Intergovernmental Conference successfully seals the introductory phase and opens the concluding phase of the membership negotiations. Because unlike what those who always lose in the end talk about day and night, the European Albania we are building is a success story, which is written with vision, work and dedication, step by step, and in the end always wins.

This is another day of pride for Albania, for our great team, for all its departments in every part of the field of public responsibilities, for the parliamentary majority, for the government, for the independent institutions, and of course for those who represent them at the negotiating table for Albania 2030 in the EU.

Congratulations to everyone and above all, thank you to every Albanian who trusts and supports us on the path of this historic mission.

Strength Albania!
