The Albanian Prime Minister has received media attention with the special surprise he gave to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni on the occasion of her 48th birthday.
In a warm and friendly atmosphere, Rama presented Meloni with a gray scarf decorated with portraits of Albanian personalities from the last century.

The head of government asked those present to join him, but without much success.
