In an interview with the Spanish media outlet ‘La Razon’, Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama claimed that if things go according to plan, in 2030, Albania will become a new member of the European Union.
“The negotiations are following the course set out in the roadmap, which is the same for all countries. You just need to do your homework and adopt the body of European law in your legislation and, on the other hand, demonstrate the ability to implement it. In terms of the timeline, the plan we have shared with the European Commission is to conclude all the technical part by the end of 2027 and then deal with the political part, ending with ratification by national parliaments. So, if everything goes according to plan, 2030 will be the year that Albania will become a new member of the European Union.”, Rama said.
The Prime Minister also explained how defense spending will increase now that Trump is demanding more money from NATO members, of which Albania is a part.
“Like all countries, we will do it little by little. We are currently above 2% of defense spending in relation to national GDP, so we are already in line with NATO. Now, it is clear that a new target will be set and we will do our part like everyone else.””, emphasized the head of government.
Rama further added that President Donald Trump could be a blessing for Europe as he could awaken it and make it a great power.
“Donald Trump says that God saved him from being shot to make America great again. And I’m very happy that God did that. I add that God saved Donald Trump to wake up Europe. So if that’s the case, Trump is a blessing for Europe in the sense that Europe has every reason to wake up and change and become much more aware – that the need for change cannot be postponed every year – because otherwise Europe will be less relevant. Europe can and must be a great power, and to do that it must change and become self-sufficient.”, Rama said.
Edi Rama, Prime Minister of Albania since 2013, has presented the 30th edition of the World Justice Congress in Madrid where he found the opportunity to explain why Albania is the “land of opportunities”, with welcoming people, safe and beautiful like Spain, but much cheaper./RTSH
