Rama batuta from Skopje: You are not the best in the region for food
Edi Rama

The meeting between the leaders of the Western Balkans and the representatives of the European Union and the USA has started in Skopje.

Prime Minister Edi Rama started his speech with jokes, but also criticism of the EU, as he said that it is depressing that a neighboring country, a member of the EU, receives 400,000 euros in aid, while other countries receive only 130,000.

"I want to thank our organizing friends. The importance of this initiative for countries and the stability, peace and prosperity of the region. I want to thank Kopman, who wants to push the process forward.

A year ago in Tirana, he was faced with a melancholy on my part about EU integration, he was patient and listened to what was our main frustration, that the integration process was that if you are a member you win everything, if you are not you win nothing. The disparity between what member countries receive is depressing. Attempts at convergence are pathetic and that is a fact.

One of the neighboring countries that is part of the EU earns about 400,000 for its citizens from the Union every year, while we receive about 130 for the citizens. That's the problem, maybe we're not the best you can find in Europe. This is the problem. There is desperation in this regard.

That's why we started with the Open Balkans. This was a kind of daily politics, the struggle of power, of strength. Everyone says: no no. It is a historical act and something dramatic. Forgive my enthusiasm, I'm not crazy, but there are reasons to be optimistic. At dinner last night we realized that we can do this, we can have civilized conversation, without interrupting the conversation. When it comes to food, you have to admit that you are not the best in the region. First; to establish a political circle like we had last night, to meet regularly. You have to forget history, you have to be discerning. So you should see the colors of the flags. Forget history and colors, because we only have one color, which is the color of the EU flag. I hope everything will go well. The last thing, there is room for improvement because we have to be more ambitious and ask for more. When we talk about Albania, we are happy that we are not so patriotic and so connected to history and we are ready to work with everyone. Let's put pressure on everyone to finish this job. I am sure that we are good at conflict, we don't want to be remembered by conflicts, but that we have done something for our people. We invite leaders to participate in the BP Summit with President Zelensky in early February. We should learn from Ukraine. It will be good to learn how to fight corruption when someone bombards you from morning to night," he said.
