During a conversation in Dublin (Irland) with an audience of experts in Europe and the Balkans and diplomats, organised by the Institute of International and European Affairs ( IIEA, on Albania’s European Travel theme: From aspirations to integration, Rama said the European Commission has had problems in relation to the former Serbian administration, especially issues related to the rule of law and the fulfillment of the fundamental requirements of the European Union.

It’s too early to say something more accurate about what comes next, Rama said.

The Government head named political developments in Serbia as a social and political experiment, referring to the so-called Student List and the method of selecting people who will be part of parliament or government.

Serbia is going through a social and political experiment, on the so-called Student List, with this method of selecting and choosing people who will be in parliament or in government. It’s quite new in many ways, he said.

Speaking of the impact these developments could have on regional relations, Rama stressed that, from Albania’s perspective, there is still no clear opening of Belgrade to the most important issues for the region’s stability and integration.

As long as there is no open approach towards Kosovo and normalisation with it, this means that the ghost of the past will continue to persecute Belgrade and will continue to prevent the Serbian nation from performing such a necessary catharsis, which is still missing, Rama said.
