TIRANA, December 6/ATA/ Prime Minister Edi Rama received today Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni, who participated in the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tirana.
Rama shared photos from the meeting with Italian Prime Minister Meloni on social media.
“It was a pleasure the first meeting with Prime Minister of Italy Giorgia Meloni”, said Rama.
The head of the government gave to Meloni as a present the book “Libera” by the Albanian writer Lea Ypi, who lives in Italy.
“Ypi studied at the “La Sapienza” University and wrote this book, which has been translated into many languages, about her childhood before and after communism. In this book you can understand the many differences between the Italian and Albanian people”, said Rama.
PM Meloni thanked PM Rama for the book and for the very good organization of the EU-Western Balkans Summit.
While in a statement to the media after the conclusion of the EU-Western Balkans summit that was held this Tuesday in Tirana, PM Meloni said that she supports the integration of the countries of the Western Balkans into the European Union.
“The integration/membership of the countries of the Western Balkans in the EU applies to Albania, Bosnia, etc. We certainly support their membership. These are steps that are taken by both sides and that take time,” said Meloni. /k.s/r.e/p.s./
