TIRANA, October 7 /ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama stated today during his speech at the Tirana Forum for Infrastructure Connection with the countries of the Western Balkans and Europe that, “It is becoming increasingly clear that enlargement is a word used less and less with passion like years ago”.
“I am very pleased to be here today, just one day after the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Brdo, where we had the opportunity to share with the 27 member states and 5 co-travelers in the Western Balkans, our thoughts on the current situation and certainly not only in relation to enlargement, but in general to the challenges that are becoming increasingly complicated.”
“I think it is becoming clearer that enlargement is a word used with less and less passion and will. And there is no doubt that the process can take time, a lot of time “, said Rama
Rama underlined that, “If the EU cannot keep its word on enlargement quickly and if the Western Balkans cannot join the EU, then the EU objective should be to move towards the Western Balkans in a more stable and uniform way through joint actions”./p.s./
