Edi Rama

The EU enlargement summit is taking place in Brussels today, bringing together the leaders of candidate countries for membership in the Union, while proceedings are expected to begin at 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. 

Prime Minister Edi Rama will also be present. Also present will be Montenegrin Prime Minister Milojko Spajic, Macedonian Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Moldovan President Maia Sandu. From the Union, the President of the European Council, Antonio Costa, will be present.

This meeting aims to amplify the voices of candidate countries at a time when European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has restarted the process, rebranding enlargement as "European reunification."

The summit will provide a first-of-its-kind platform for leaders of candidate countries to express their perspectives on the path of enlargement, from the determination of Ukraine and Moldova amid the ongoing war in Ukraine to the decades-long wait for membership of the Western Balkans, with each leader bringing their own insights into how enlargement is perceived from their nation's perspective and what the path ahead will bring.

As for our country, European leaders have praised its remarkable progress recently and it is now one of the leading candidates aiming for membership by 2030.
