Speaking at the EU Enlargement Forum in Brussels, Rama highlighted that 91% of Albanians support the country’s membership in the EU, signaling strong public backing for the country’s integration into the bloc.

“Although a small minority may express reservations, these views are often driven by temporary factors, such as day-to-day issues like traffic congestion and other temporary issues,” Rama said, adding that overall support for the EU is overwhelming.

“In the latest EU Barometer survey on enlargement, Albania ranked first with 92% of citizens expressing loyalty to the EU and 91% supporting membership,” Rama said.

“But let me clarify: the remaining 8 or 9% are not against the EU or membership. If you exclude external factors, Albanians are 100% in favor of EU membership,” he stated.

Rama also reminded attendees that the European Union’s foundation emerged after World War II, in a period of deep divisions, when Europe was split by an “ideological curtain.”
