I tried to say a few things during the meeting and I want to share some of them with you because I don\u2019t want to take as much time as the meeting. I said I felt both good and bad. I felt good because we are European and I want us to be amongst Europeans,\u201d \u2013 said Rama.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, the head of government underlined that in regards to the issue of Albania\u2019s and North Macedonia\u2019s negotiations, Bulgaria isn\u2019t the only reason because the deformed spirit of enlargement is a much greater issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBulgaria isn\u2019t the only reason. It is unfortunate because the deformed spirit of enlargement is a much greater reason. Bulgaria is the most obvious manifestation of this. It\u2019s a shame that one NATO member state takes hostage 2 NATO member states, at a time when in Europe\u2019s courtyard there\u2019s an all-out war,\u201d \u2013 continued Rama.<\/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\/2022\/06\/23\/kovacevski-turns-down-macron-proposal-bulgaria-is-returning-to-the-past\/\">Kovacevski turns down Macron proposal: Bulgaria is returning in the past<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/europe\/2022\/06\/23\/vucic-were-here-to-discuss-our-european-future\/\">Vucic: We\u2019re here to discuss our European future<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li class=\"title-post\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/europe\/2022\/06\/23\/rama-calls-eus-stance-on-bulgaria-shameful\/\">Rama calls EU\u2019s stance on Bulgaria \u2018shameful\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>\n<div class=\"spot-im-replies-count\" data-post-id=\"eneu38878\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a joint conference in Brussels with Macedonian PM Dimitar Kovacevski and his Serbian homolog, Alexandar Vucic, PM Edi Rama said that he feels bad that he has to be in Europe as a friend, instead of a member of the greater European family. \u201cLet me express my deep pity for the European Union and [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":38887,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[153],"tags":[151],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.7 -
