Rama and Vucic comfort each other - The first protects it from the

The facial expressions and language used by Edi Rama and Aleksandar Vucic at the press conference at the end of the joint EU-Western Balkans summit showed that four hours in the hall with the union leaders was not easy at all.

Complaining about Brussels, how he did not keep his word and so on, Rama and Vucic took each other in defense.

Rama told reporters an episode from inside the meeting. He said that when he spoke, he urged EU leaders not to increase pressure on Serbia to impose sanctions on Russia.

According to Rama, this could push Serbia further towards Putin.

"Serbia is in a very different position from us. It is a completely different reality. I tried to explain that we are talking about a country where the popularity for Vladimir Putin is 80 percent and where people are not inclined to run towards Brussels, but rather. "I do not understand the demands for sanctions against Serbia, because Serbia is not in a position to achieve so much so quickly and taking it to the border will have the opposite effect," Rama said.

Vucic returned the honor as soon as he took the floor.

"Albania and Northern Macedonia deserved the opening of negotiations. I am not as frustrated as Rama and Kovacevski, but I saw how frustrated they were both inside. "We support the European path of our neighbors and the EU should not delay the negotiations," Vucic said.

Negotiations were once again blocked by the Bulgarian veto on Northern Macedonia. Rama described Bulgaria's decision and the whole situation in Sofia as a disgrace. He accused Bulgaria as a NATO member of holding two other members of the Alliance hostage.
