Linda Rama: Between Family, Work and Albania’s Future 18/08 14:30
The Head of the EU delegation in Tirana, Romana Vlahutin, had to wait
for 15 minutes today until the Deputy Minister of Integration, Eralda
Cani, arrived at a student meeting for discussing Albania’s advantages
with the EU integration.
Besides being late, Deputy Minister Cani also was very clear with her words: “I don’t know what I can say. There are plenty of elements we can discuss today”.
Ambassador Vlahutin was very direct with her message addressed to politics:
“The matter of Albania in Europe, of an European Albania, requires a constant dialogue. I don’t understand how dialogue is so hard to achieve. You know that we have discussed the justice reform for more than one year and a half. The dialogue we wanted to have was with the Parliament Members. For some strange reasons, this desire brought reactions. One MP said in one of these meetings: “You have made a major mistake with the justice reform. It is not enough. Albania needs a new social contract and you should have started it”. I told him: “I am sorry, but you are the one who should have started this. I am just an ambassador”, Vlahutin said.
