Prime Minister Edi Rama has held a series of meetings during 2024, thus in a way marking the start of the electoral campaign for the 2025 elections.
Rama started his tour of meetings with the diaspora on May 12 in Athens.
This was a date that brought a lot of controversy and reactions, since May 12 coincided with the arrest of Fredi Beler, who won the elections in Himara, but was handcuffed by the police for election corruption.
During the meeting, Rama spoke about the relations between Albania and Greece and whether Beler's arrest would affect the relationship between the neighboring countries.
"Albania has no claim to Greece other than mutual respect and care for our compatriots living in both our countries, as well as mutual relations of friendship and good neighborliness", while emphasizing that his country. The best between Greece and Albania is all ahead and I am armed with this belief, with the readiness for us to solve all the issues between us, as forward-looking Europeans of the new century, not to continue to drag them out as the gullible Balkans of the old century, to turn them into a bone of contention every time the electoral bazaar stalls open", said Rama during the meeting in Athens.
After Athens, Rama's next visit was to Milan, Italy, where there were actually no shortage of incidents.
Prime Minister Edi Rama's meeting in Milan with Albanian immigrants was accompanied by moments of tension.
During the meeting, some Albanian immigrants displayed their banner that read "I want to vote in 2025".

This brought about a clash between the immigrants, but there was no escalation of the conflict.
Meanwhile, Rama's message from Milan was: Albania's good time has finally come, sisters and brothers, and only we Albanians inside and outside its borders, inside and outside the borders of politics, inside and outside the borders of the possible can and will let's make this time, a time that will be marked in the history of our country as your time was marked in the history of Albanians in Europe, the time of final reunification with the European family.
Rama spoke about many things in his meeting with the immigrants in Italy, saying that Albania has changed a lot since they immigrated, while inviting them to invest in Albania.
He described as a lie the accusation of the opposition that 1 million Albanians have left the country.
Rama said that he experienced the meeting in Milan with many emotions, which he shared with everyone, saying:
"I want you to know that I was extremely moved by the warm wave of greetings and invitations from many Albanians who wrote to me all these days, in fact immediately after the meeting in Athens, to visit them where they are, in the four sides of Italy".
