Rama: EU closer than ever, preparations for Albania's accession treaty

Prime Minister Edi Rama is giving a speech, where he described as historic the European Commission's recommendation to launch preparations for Albania's EU accession treaty in 2027.

 In his speech at the SP Assembly, Rama also commented on the opposition protests, accusing them of political instrumentalization and violence against the government.

"What the country risks losing under the pressure of noise and smoke and how to steer it without losing clarity of vision, this is such a moment. In the latest report on enlargement, the EC has written a phrase that has not taken root, that there is no way that anything of significant importance in the progress of the country can take root in the conditions when the country is experiencing internal pressure due to the political instrumentalization of a protest launched for various purposes and transformed into a violent offensive against the government, but also against the way we want Albania to move forward. The EC has made a historic recommendation for us that is a great affirmation of the fact that Albania is at the highest point on the path to joining the great European family. It is recommended that the EC begin preparations in 2027 to draft the treaty for Albania's membership in the EU. This is a phrase that appears for the first time in the history of Albania. The last page of history that is being reached under the leadership of of the Socialist Party. Today, Europe is visible to the eye, through the very finger of the EC, which shows that this is the moment to start preparations for the historic treaty that will make Albania a member of the EU. How can we not gather our minds and our strength at this historic moment? This story started long ago, it was like a book of debts, a threat of financial collapse and a lack of hope that Albania could become a European state. In 2013, people were asking us for completely elementary things and when we started the energy reform, everyone began to understand that a new story of state-building had begun. After the word of the accession treaty, there are years of work that are not counted as on the calendar, but they are more than that, because they are years of colossal work. Like that of the justice reform, where the youngest people today have no idea with what tension we have carried it forward. Clash of interests and entrenched prejudices, which had their most disgusting synthesis in justice. Today, cities have problems, but Tirana "Today it is a European city, there are no longer settlements without a city. Crowds of tourists enjoy all the cities, including the small Belshi. There were only large parking lots, mixed with cows and calves that came to be sold", Rama began his speech to the audience
