"I was very tense", EU membership negotiations, Rama reveals conversations with European leaders: They told me you are 'On Top', I felt proud!

"Four UFOs in the Land of Eagles" was the title given by Prime Minister Edi Rama to the next episode of the podcast "Flasim", which featured three Albanians who have returned to their homeland after several years of emigration.

Two of the guests have applied to the "Deputy We Want" platform, said Rama, while indicating that they have been included in the group of negotiators on Albania's path towards EU integration.

"They said administration, administration, all thieves, all thieves. Undoubtedly, the administration has its own shadows, but I myself have had more stress from the shadows of the administration than I have had enough motivation to stand up to them."

But this was completely reversed when we did the screening. All the collaborators know very well that I was saying that I had a clear idea of ??what would happen in the moment of truth.

The moment of truth for me was when the negotiations would begin with the entire diagnosis of the Albanian state, where in fact there are 1000 people from this side and 100 people from that side sitting opposite each other in 36 groups. And that penetrates the Albanian state to its core.

It's very important how you play your part. When the process started, I was very tense. I was like, "Boooh, all this fighting and all this trying to convince the world, wait, we're not them."

Imagine the boats taking on water and those hangings of tourists start and they say these are not ready. When the music started, the Prime Minister of the Netherlands said I am hearing very good words about the Albanian team, the Prime Minister of Denmark said what happened to your administration that I have seen the reports of the Foreign Ministry and you are on Top.

Then the Prime Minister of Spain. When the process went deeper, the team was very serious, the negotiators were on point, this gave me a lot of pride."
