Edi Rama and Bajram Begaj

The President of the Republic, Bajram Begaj, today received Prime Minister Edi Rama in the Presidency, where the latter proposed the name of Vlora Hysen to take over the leadership of the National Information Service.

It was the head of the government himself, who announced this meeting through a post on social networks, while there is still no reaction from the Presidency.

However, what can be seen from the photo published by Prime Minister Rama is that the protocol of the Presidency has been seriously violated regarding the positions where they are sitting on the couch.

According to the protocol, the head of state should always sit in the odd chair, while visitors sit in the three-seater chair, be they ambassadors, prime ministers, heads of institutions or ordinary citizens.

But, as can be seen, today Prime Minister Edi Rama is sitting in the single seat, while President Bajram Begaj is sitting in the seat with three seats.

But could this be an error of ignorance? This falls apart, because if you take a look at all the photos in the gallery of the Presidency, the head of state Bajram Begaj is always sitting in the odd armchair, as you can see in the photos of the gallery below.

Could it be that Prime Minister Edi Rama wanted to send a message that the head of state is in his hands? Could it be that the Presidency has not yet reacted regarding this meeting because of this protocol error?

But, if that was not enough, Prime Minister Edi Rama first published a photo where Begaj was in a half-sitting position and which at first glance created a bad impression on the relationship between number 1 (head of state) and number 3 (prime minister ) of the state Pyramid.

After this moment, to prevent negative comments, the head of government's staff urgently changed the photo, placing another one where Rama and Begaj were talking. But again, the protocol error was not avoided. /Vox News.al
