David Cameron, Prime Minister of Great Britain, held a meeting with the
Albanian homologue, Edi Rama. The Prime Minister’s public relation
office says that Rama focused on Albania’s European future and
underlined the reforms undertaken by the Albanian government for the
fight against organized crime and corruption.
Both Prime Ministers discussed about the bilateral relations between both countries, which were considered excellent, and also for the economic and commercial cooperation. Cameron congratulated Rama for the new job and underlined that his government supports Albania’s European integration.
Rama: We need to invest in human capacities
During his visit in London, together with the former President of Kyrgyzstan and the president of the Sorost foundation, George Soros, Rama participated in the conference organized by the EBRD, which published a report about transition in 2013.
The report analyzes the human capacity in countries under transition. Prime Minister Rama spoke about this case and declared that for every country is important to have assets, but it is also important what they know.
“For the first time, 2014 finds Balkan at peace and without weapons turned against each other. All this peace progress was made for the dream to get united through Europe. It is also paradoxal, since Europe is not what we had in mind when we started fighting for it. The closer we get, the more complicated are the things that we need to take care of. This report is very interesting for me, because it underlines something that is forgotten during our efforts to get closer to Europe. The human capital. Investing in the human capital is very important for the countries that have many problems. We are facing a dilemma. When you want to invest in knowledge, you are not voted any more, because it takes time. On the same time, when you don’t invest in knowledge, you might be elected again but you’d have to deal with more problems. For me, it is clear. We should invest on those aspects that are related to the human capacities”, Rama declared.
“Albania’s evaluation has gone from three to two. The country has a history of problems related with the electric energy, including the huge losses from local energy companies, such as KESH, which has a weak record in collecting the debt”, the EBRD report says.
By analyzing the CEZ problematic, the repotr underlines that now the case is being treated by international arbitrage, which could have stopped potential investors.
