Prime Minister Edi Rama said that the opening of negotiations with the European Union will engage the government even more to increase support for the media.
After the ceremony of raising the European flag in the prime minister's building, Rama said that from that moment the governing level will rise to a new level in every direction, including the protection of the freedom of journalists.
" This new phase requires a new protection of the rights of journalists as spokespersons of the public interest, but also as employers, therefore we will engage on both fronts, either to reflect on our mistakes and to perfect the line of conduct , but also to interact with the community of journalists and their representatives, in order to solve their problems and big problems in relation to employers, "- said the Prime Minister.
Rama underlined that the opening of negotiations does not make the path to membership easier, but much more challenging.
This Tuesday, the first Intergovernmental Conference between Albania and the European Union took place in Brussels.
The opening of negotiations means a technical process that will start with the full control of the Albanian state administration and all the Albanian legislation to be aligned with the legislation of the European Union.
