"I feel like I'm in the Parliament of Albania", all Rama's
Edi Rama speaking in KiE

After finishing his long speech at the Council of Europe, Prime Minister Edi Rama got involved in a debate of replies with the deputies of the Council of Europe, mainly from those countries that today do not recognize Kosovo.

The one who appeared the most angry was the deputy of Serbia who also represented the EPP in KiE, who reminded Prime Minister Edi Rama (contrary to what he said) that the report was not prepared by the Serbian or Russian delegation, but was a report approved by the vast majority of the parliamentarians of the Council of Europe.   

"I've been here for 15 years and I've never experienced anything like this..." she said.

While another deputy, the one from Germany, complained about the long time left for Prime Minister Rama in his speech.

Rama intervened twice in his remarks, and what marked the hardening of his voice was the claim of another MP that Rama was interfering in a judicial process being followed in The Hague.

"Think this is the best way to cooperate. You spoke about the establishment of Kosovo's specialized chambers. These are independent procedures. We cannot interfere in court proceedings. We filed a report, we did not do a criminal investigation. Why should we interfere with the proceedings?"

"In my statement, I was very clear: I said that there is a serious problem, the serious issue of human organ trafficking, and this is a serious problem, and this has nothing to do with the judicial procedure that you refer to, because there is no word in the indictment organ trafficking is a completely different issue being addressed there. This shameful accusation of human organ trafficking is one that has brought everyone together in solidarity.

This is what led to the rise of the rooms you spoke of. They are not dealing with human trafficking there... I am not talking about the intervention of any kind of judicial process, I want to be crystal clear about this, if you read the report objectively you would understand why I am here. Let me be clear, it was a tragic mistake and in a democracy mistakes are righted. We must be humble to admit that a mistake has been made..." , answered Rama.

"I'm not sure, at least for those who express their discomfort with my speech, if they really understood what I was talking about. Read them again and again for thousands of reasons why I'm here. I believe that one of the virtues of democratic institutions is to be humble when you look at yourself and to have the right amount of self-criticism. I did not accuse their ancestors of anything. If it comes to voting, I would also vote, but 11 years have passed and nothing has been proven...

Serbian college shocked? Of course I understand. Serbia will need time. I did not come here to disrespect Serbia, there are many people in Albania and Kosovo who think that I am a Serbian agent, but I am proud to serve the truth. I claim to give the truth of my nation, which I proudly represent. Put yourself above all Albanians who face this prejudice, that Albanians, even when they fight with the enemy, deal with the trafficking of human organs. I don't take back a word of what I said. If you want a debate, I'm happy to come back," said Rama.

The Prime Minister was also "harassed" by a Greek MP about relations with Turkey and human rights there.

"Although in this tactless way, you are aware that we are very determined to help Albania and the other countries of the Western Balkans to fulfill the process for Albania's membership.

Do you think that Albania's adherence to European values ​​would be incompatible with the policy of synergy and actors like Turkey that undermine human rights...", was the question addressed by the Greek deputy.

"Turkey, like Greece and Italy, the three are the same and in our foreign policy are defined as strategic partners, so I didn't really understand your question. I hope you solve your problems with Turkey through dialogue and justice but when it comes to us we do not compare and choose between our strategic partners and friends... Without Turkey the refugee crisis of 2015 would have turned into an apocalyptic crisis. It was Turkey that actually stood at the gates of Europe and did what it did. I have the honor and privilege to consider myself a friend of both the Turkish president and the prime minister of Greece... ", said Rama, who, interrupted by the interventions of some deputies in the hall, said that the situation seemed to him the same as in the Parliament of Albania. .

"I feel like I'm at home, like in the Parliament of Albania...", Rama joked.

Regarding another request from the Ukrainian deputy that Russia should be excluded from the Security Council, Rama said that he was the longest-serving prime minister of a small country that cannot have weight in such decisions.
