Anyway, as the legendary Donald Trump would say, \u2013 it is what it is, &#8211; and so we have to move forward with what we have,\u201d said Rama.<\/p>\n<p>PM Rama also added that countries in the region aim to create a joint regional market and one of free movement, but he also added that they are aware that this won\u2019t eliminate the great gap between the Western Balkans and the EU, by bringing up one example.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn EU\u2019s plan of 2021-27, the Western Balkans will get per capita 507 euros. And by not making comparisons with others, just a comparison with Croatia, which will get the well-deserved, 5 195 euros, so just, it is what it is,\u201d said the Albanian prime minster.<\/p>\n<p>Rama continued his speech by mentioning the initiative of Albania, North Macedonia and Serbia, referring to the mini Schengen, saying that they invite all the other countries in the region to become a part, while adding that they won\u2019t wait for anyone, in order to realize their objective of creating a joint market.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to PM Edi Rama&#8217;s full speech <a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/v\/UKcC0UQS\/\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/07\/05\/regional-disputes-still-looming-7-years-on-from-the-berlin-process\/\">7 years on from the Berlin Process, regional disputes are still looming<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/balkans\/2021\/06\/08\/foreign-ministers-from-western-balkans-convene-in-conference-focused-on-berlin-process\/\">Foreign ministers from Western Balkans convene in conference focused on Berlin Process<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/albania\/2021\/06\/29\/rama-vucic-and-zaev-make-joint-appeals-to-the-eu-and-the-u-s\/\">Balkan leaders \u2013 Rama, Vucic and Zaev make joint appeals to EU and the U.S.<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The PM of Albania, Edi Rama, said during his word for the Berlin Summit that it is disheartening that the EU integration was once seen as an opportunity to suppress nationalism in the Balkans, whereas now it has transformed into a process that is being oppressed by EU\u2019s own nationalisms.
