"Albania the most pro-American country", to Rama-Clinton: You are the
Edi Rama

In his speech at the ceremony taking place in front of the Prime Minister's Office, in honor of former president Bill Clinton, Edi Rama, among other things, said that "Albania is the most pro-American country that can be found today" and that Clinton himself is "the most Albanian that we could ever find in America".

"Dear Mr. President, we in Albania do not get along easily with each other. It is difficult for us to come together unless a common enemy forces us. But I don't believe that in any other country in the world, you will be able to find a greater consensus than in Albania, yesterday, today and always. I say this with conviction and objective evidence. Albania, I am happy to tell you, is in the spirit of the Clinton method today. Of course, Albania is the most pro-American country that can be found today, including compared to Texas. But you are the most Albanian president we could ever find in America and with the greatest respect for all the presidents of your blessed country, your place in the heart of our nation is where the greatest friend of honor stands."

Rama said that Clinton ushered in the new era of Albania's strategic partnership with the USA. According to Rama, Clinton's contribution to Albania was great.

"President Clinton's direct, personal contribution to our twin eagle across the mountains is of such magnitude that it naturally eclipses the Clinton administration's contribution to Albania, which in itself was valuable enough at a time when our country is emerging from an unprecedented isolation nowhere in the communist east like a North Korea in the middle of Europe where freedom came with unparalleled chaos and disorder. In support of Albania, President Clinton signed the creation of the American-Albanian fund and his government supported Albania not simply through various aid programs, but primarily by ushering in the new era of strategic partnership with the US, which was formalized with the historic partnership agreement some time ago" , said Rama.

According to Rama, Clinton has taught us to believe that there are only bad regimes and governments, never bad peoples. He says that if Clinton had not made the decision to intervene in Kosovo, no one knows what the future of the region would have been like.

"The 42nd president of the USA taught us by the example of his oratory that to have hope is to believe that there are only bad regimes and governments, there are never bad peoples. No one knows how the future of our region would have been without the gentleman who will speak shortly. It can be said without fear that the time that has flowed after that historic decision and until today could have been much more gloomy than we can imagine, not only for Kosovo and consequently all Albanians, but also for Serbia and consequence for all the Serbs, the two largest nations of the Balkans, peoples who are spread over more than within their mother state and are condemned to live together forever, choosing either to turn the Balkans into the space of a new life of the triumph of peace among themselves, or leave it as a hostage between the walls of fear and living with each other's backs. It can be said without fear that half a million Kosovar refugees who, under the fury of Belgrade's bloodthirsty machine, came to seek salvation in Albania may never have returned home., Rama said.
