In a television interview, Rama said that after the transformations that have taken place in the country and the role that Albania has assumed in the international arena, Albania is listened to and consulted by the leaders of the great powers.

“I don’t want to talk about myself at all, and I want to make it crystal clear that this is not because of me. Of course, I do my duty and I have my part, but above all, it is all that has changed with Albania, since the reform in justice, the transformation of tourism, to the very high level of security, to our role in the international arena, at the Security Council, at the head of the OSCE, at the Human Rights Council at the UN and they listen and consult us. The great powers ask us; the leaders of the great powers consult us; they regularly ask us for our opinion on how we see things in the region”, said Rama.

The prime minister said that, “This is certainly a plus for us, but also for them because they have in the region a voice that they trust and listen to, a voice that is the voice of a state that has made its approach very clear”.

“Ours is a voice that has undertaken to be in the region the strength of the example, not the example of the strength; Ours is a voice that nurtures in all ways rapprochement, cooperation, peace and that definitely constitutes a point of balance”, said Rama. /a.f/p.s./
