From Tropoja, where he met with citizens of the area, Prime Minister Edi Rama also commented on the debates that have recently taken place with the British regarding Albanian refugees in England.
Rama cited an article written by a British journalist who stated in her article that Albanians are doing today what developed countries did once when they had less financial opportunities. Rama said that it is important that Albania is no longer a dictatorial country and whoever wants to is within his right to leave.
" A British journalist had written an article where she said that only dictatorial countries question people's freedom to leave or come. Albanians today are doing what the world has done since its birth. What we, when we were less rich than today, did much more than these in another time.
I brought him here to say that it is impossible to tell people stay here, don't run away, that this is where the homeland is. People are within their right to make their own decisions. Thank God we are not in the bunker of communism. Today, thank you if you are going to create opportunities for yourself, you create them. If in the city the possibilities are more limited, in the countryside they are endless.
If about 1500 tourists come to Tropoja today, this means that there is a market for everyone who lives in the village. The market is that with the old house and the land around it you have the opportunity to build a point to attract some of them ."
