(ANSA) – BRUSSELS, JUN 23 – “It is a shame that a NATO country, Bulgaria, is taking two other NATO countries hostage, North Macedonia and Albania, in the midst of a war in our backyard and that others 26 countries remain stationary and powerless “.
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said this when he arrived in Brussels for the summit on the Western Balkans. “Let’s not change course, build Europe in our own home, because there is no other option to the path of integration”, he underlined. “It is good to give candidate status to Ukraine but I hope that the Ukrainian people do not have too many illusions.” “It is a new day in Europe but not in Bulgaria! What a shame for Europe this Bulgarian affair!”, Rama specified.
