Prime Minister Edi Rama, in an interview given to Euronews Serbia, spoke about the protest that has been taking place for more than a month in Tirana, considering it a representation of the new developmental phase that society is moving towards higher expectations.

"The protest is something much bigger than the topic itself. It's not just flamingos. It's much more than that. It's a signal that the country has moved to another level, that development has become normal, that people are no longer willing to suffer what is missing," Rama said.

Rama emphasized that citizens are becoming less and less tolerant of shortcomings and that they demand rapid changes.

"People are becoming less and less tolerant of what is missing. That's why people want more. They want it now. And we can't blame them for that. That's the price we pay for our success. This, in my opinion, is a protest against rising expectations and we have to face it," he said.

Today, living standards are higher, says Rama, and this is the impetus that brings citizens to the boulevard to protest, the demand for more.

"No matter what people call it, no matter how harshly it is criticized - at the end of the day, the reason is that people live better. And that is why they want so much more. Normally, poor societies have a very high threshold of tolerance for what they lack. Developed and developing societies have a much lower threshold of what is acceptable. They want what is lacking."
Rama also commented on the idea of ??the 'Open Balkans', an initiative that the head of the Albanian government says was criticized because it was initiated by himself and Serbian President Aleksandar Vu?i?.

The project 'would be saved', Rama said, if instead of his name and Vu?i?, there were other figures who would bear the authorship.

"It was a terrible idea for one reason only: that Vu?i? and I were behind it. If you had taken our names and decided on, let's say, I don't know, five new names - it would have been a great idea. It's the same with everything in the Balkans," Rama said.
During the interview, Rama also spoke about cooperation with the Serbian government, considering Aleksandar Vu?i? a difficult partner to negotiate with.
