Prime Minister Edi Rama is today in Rome, where he is participating in the annual Congress of Giorgia Meloni's party, the Brothers of Italy.
During this event, the head of the government also commented on the agreement reached with Italy for housing a number of refugees.
While the agreement has been suspended mainly by the Constitutional Court to be thoroughly reviewed, Rama stated that if the request had been made by any other country, the Albanian government would not have accepted it.
The EU does not even understand the origin of the problem. It has an origin that is tied to history. You have to work to find solutions that are probably not perfect, but you don't understand what those who criticize do? We have had requests from other EU countries and we have said no. Cousin countries. Italy is a brother, sister country.
According to Rama, Italy is not looking to transfer the problem to Albania, but "seeks to expand the space to deal with the problem."
