Bulgaria has always been among those European Union member states that support the European affiliation of the Albanian people. This was announced by the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on the occasion of yesterday's speech of the Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama who calls Bulgaria's blocking of European integration of Northern Macedonia and Albania a "shame", and there was ironic remark before Charles Michel, Von der Layen and Macron. 

- We defended the European perspective of Albania and the beginning of the EU membership negotiations, even when it was much more difficult than today. Over the years, there have not been many other voices with us in this cause. We stand for that today, after all, in the name of a common European future. In response, this is not the first time we have heard unprovoked harsh, offensive qualifications from a head of government. Bile insults in such a low language register can no longer be justified by the nature and lack of European communication skills. "We expect the Albanian prime minister to adjust his means of expression to a language appropriate for a politician from an EU candidate country," the Bulgarian Foreign Ministry said.

"At this level, more than anything else, we insist on respecting the good tone of communication. At this level we have always shown all the respect that requires a responsible position and level of interstate relations. We have a common future with Albania "Politicians are leaving. The peoples remain. Our peoples have a common interest, which should not be damaged by the misjudgment of politicians. "It is unacceptable for relations between the states to become hostages to the eccentricity of the current Albanian prime minister."
