Before the family photo of the leaders of the EU and the Western Balkans in Brussels, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama gave a show in front of Macron and other leaders by playing the role of conductor, while the EU anthem was played.
Rama's "leap" comes after the expected blocking of Albania's integration by Athens.

Prime Minister Edi Rama held a short conversation in Brussels with his Greek counterpart Kyriakos Mitsotakis, for the first time since the start of the "battle" of long distance statements.
But even the face-to-face confrontation did not melt the icy barrier that separates Tirana from Athens, since the arrest of Fredi Beleri in Himara two days before the elections.
According to Greek media, Mitsotakis has made it clear to Rama and EU leaders that Greece will veto to block the next stages of Albania's membership process unless there is a clear move allowing Beler to be sworn in as mayor. .
