"Let me express my grief over the EU. I'm sorry for them. I tried to point out a few things at the meeting. I hope we will help them. I tried to say some things at the meeting, I will share some of them with you. "None of us listen to us as Europeans, but as guests, and that is really worrying," Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama told a joint news conference with Kovacevski and Vuќi..

Michelle told us we have 3 minutes, I told him it could be 30 seconds if they kept their word, but they did not keep it. I felt bad, because we still can not be here as Europeans, but as separated friends of one house. It is very disappointing that even a global pandemic could not bring us closer, could not unite us. We have a lot to do. On the one hand, I think we have done and will continue to do a lot to support Macron's idea, a goal that is strategic policy, and we will continue on our path, hoping that in the next century we will become a member, we will appreciate this a new european committee is on the rise to be a common home, as a single family, the albanian prime minister said.

Rama reminded that Northern Macedonia has been a candidate for EU membership for 17 years and that it has even changed its name, while Albania has been waiting for 8 years.

"Imagine France changing its name," Rama said.

He added that "Bulgaria is a disgrace", but that this is not the only reason to stop the EU enlargement process. He points out that despite everything, the Balkan countries will be in the EU. He also advocated visa liberalization for Kosovo.

"Do not kill our faith in our European future, because Albanians still believe," Rama said.

Kovacevski rejects the French proposal: In this form it is not acceptable to me, the institutions and the citizens of RSM
