In a conversation he held online at the Atlantic Council, where he spoke about the challenges of the Balkan region and the European perspective, Prime Minister Edi Rama did not spare the jokes either.
In a similar way, the topic of discussion was the "Father of Independence", Ismail Qemali.
The president and CEO of the Atlantic Council, Frederick Kempe, asks the head of government who is the character in the picture behind his shoulders, and Rama humorously tells him that it is his grandfather.
CONVERSATION:
Could you, as I promised my followers, share with us who the person on your left shoulder is?
Oh... He's my grandfather.
Who is he?
My grandfather. Don't you see the similarity?
I wanted to point it out to you.
He is the founding father of Albania. The man who raised the flag of Independence, here in this city, a few hundred meters away from where I am talking to you, in 1912. So, in a way, he is the grandfather of all Albanians. (A2 Televizion)
