Prime Minister Rama participated today in the event organized in Derviçan on occasion of erecting the bust of the former prime minister of Greece Konstantinos Mitsotakis and naming of the square after him.

Rama said that, “Unfortunately, sometimes the electoral politics, with its insignificant needs for the destinies of our countries and peoples, disturbs the natural flow of fraternity that has been the plasma since the dawn of time between neighbors like Albania and Greece”.

“But, these are things that pass even though it would be good if they didn’t happen. Sometimes, the quarrels and misunderstandings between brothers who live in different houses are easier and sometimes more difficult. It is certain that in the course of today’s democratic lives, disturbances and misunderstandings not only pass, but also strengthen the understanding of the inseparable bond between our two peoples and our countries, for which even the two indomitable opponents, Konstantinos Mitsotakis and Andreas Papandreou not only stuck to the same belief, but they also did everything they could in the short time when they had power at their disposal, when Albania just came out of isolation”, said Rama.

“I don’t know if Prime Minister Konstantinos Mitsotakis is seeing and hearing us from there in heaven. I would like to think that even the sun that appeared today is his smile, a statesman loyal to his convictions who lived almost 100 years sticking to his convictions”, he added.

Rama wished that Albania and Greece have more men and women similar to the man in this bust.

“Let this bust serve the generations to never forget that what sometimes divides us is never worth what unites us eternally: we Albanians and Greeks, as two peoples that are as like as two peas “, he added./p.s./
