Rama at the summit: Ease of crossing at border points with Europe, Roaming fees
Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama spoke at the summit being held in Tirana.

"Welcome back to Tirana, the city where faith in Europe is as great as an old EU veteran, like a teenager in love. The Western Balkans have chosen to move forward together, with a roadmap towards freedoms and opportunities towards the European common market."

Better late than never, after all those chances when the cooperation trains left and we remained on the platform. Let me put it another way, Europe was not built by sitting around waiting but by acting. Today let me list some concrete facts. 7 doors, to be opened. Roaming tariffs between the Western Balkans and the EU will end in 2026.

Now, with the finalisation of the legal basis by the Commission, there is a programme that will end the fees. It will be our next success after SEPA. Roaming is about removing another artificial border. One identity, one access, one digital life across the EU. In 2027 we will be there waiting for the EU. Border crossings, from obstacles to engines of development. We have agreed on 16 priorities for border crossings.
