The time has come for Europe to change and give everyone the opportunity to grow economically, while the Western Balkans must be aligned with the EU's common market. This message was conveyed by Prime Minister Edi Rama from the Munich conference to the EU enlargement panel. During his speech, the head of the Albanian government emphasized the European Union's bureaucracies and the limited actions in relation to the integration process.
"Europe must change, I'm not the only one saying it, Mario Draghi says it. He issued a strong report that Europe must change. The attempt to answer to itself, to refer only to itself, and everyone else is a suspect from a moral point of view, but to be more capable of adapting to new challenges. There are many victims, many people who feel that something has gone very wrong. But it is an extraordinary opportunity to wake up and start running and to take what has been lost over the years with so many regulations and talks and so little action. The idea is to merge the internal competitiveness reform and the rapid approximation of the Western Balkans to the EU common market. Everyone on the continent must become the new platform and the EU must invest a lot of thought and energy in the CPE and Europe must become a very different continent based first on giving everyone new opportunities to grow economically, otherwise it will be impossible", Rama said, reports A2 CNN.
For the head of the Albanian government, the merit-based process should only be for the right to vote in the European Council.
"The European Union must divide its mind about what is happening, because it has changed in terms of its attitude towards us, it has changed in terms of the pace of engagement with the Western Balkans. But what is happening is that it is changing very slowly and very little. The time has come to make a clear and immediate division. A merit-based process should be about one thing, the right to vote in the European Council, based on merit, cannot mean bringing all countries into the common market. I think that this can now be completely accelerated, it can be something that is much more related to the behavior of that part of Europe that is not in the EU, much closer, in different ways of thinking about the continent. What is outside the EU cannot be a space that anyone can take, but only the EU. The Western Balkans look like the Park of Europe, a place where many things can happen. "Many things have happened in Poland, Slovakia or the Czech Republic, which helped these countries move at an impressive speed."
