During his speech, Rama spoke about Albania’s integration into the European Union and the benefits of obtaining an EU passport. The head of government said that obtaining an EU passport will be a new status for Albanians.

“At present, we enjoy the freedom of movement without a visa into other countries, but we do not have freedom of residence”; Rama said.

“If we have an EU passport, then we become equal citizens of the EU. With this passport you enter France, Italy, Sweden and you have the same rights as your Italian, German, Swedish peers. Today, if you want to go to study in the EU, you are a foreigner and you have to find your way, find a place through the quotas that the EU has for foreign students, then you have the obligation to pay completely different fees than those paid by EU students because you are foreign students. If you need medical assistance, you do not receive the same treatment as others because you are foreign. If you want to look for a job, you have no chance at all because you do not have a work permit”, Rama underlined.

Rama added that with the EU passport, “you can look for a job wherever you want and you can return again”.

“Without any exaggeration, the EU becomes the same as Albania for each of us”, said Rama.

The head of government called on young people to vote for the Socialist Party.
