"Historic process"/ Rama: Membership negotiations increase

Prime Minister Edi Rama, in a cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's Office, emphasized the importance of public opinion having a full understanding of the complexity of efforts to successfully conduct membership negotiations.

He also appreciated the contribution of the ministers who are closest to this process. A few days ago, the Minister of Justice and the Minister of Interior made a detailed presentation at the ambassadors' table in Brussels, while the Minister of Foreign Affairs is constantly coordinating to provide the political dimension of the process in the international arena.

He considered the process historic, adding that it transforms the Albanian state and gives institutions a power and capacity they have never had before.

"It is very important that public opinion also has an idea of ??the full complexity of this effort to successfully carry out membership negotiations."

What is being talked about in public is either very basic or completely unrelated to the process. The process is very burdensome and the negotiation team led by Majlinda and Adea is to be commended.

The work of the ministers who are closer to this process for known reasons is also to be appreciated. A few days ago, the Minister of Justice and the Interior made an exhaustive presentation at the ambassadors' table in Brussels, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is constantly coordinated to give the entire political dimension to the process in the international arena. What is more valuable than anything else, beyond the implementation of a measure or the passage of a reform and subsequent approval in Brussels, is that this process substantially increases the institutional capacities of the country. The process has an extraordinary benefit.

"This process is historic, because it transforms the Albanian state and gives institutions a power and capacity that they have never had," said Rama./ CNA
