Why didn't the US congratulate Rama on his election victory? Media: We have

Prime Minister Edi Rama continues to await congratulations from the United States of America for the May 11 results.

The leader of the Republican Party, Fatmir Mediu, commented on this fact, explaining that the opposition has forwarded to the United States a report highlighting the electoral violations of May 11, a report which, according to him, is also based on the previous OSCE-ODIHR report.

Mediu told A2 CNN that despite talk of Albania's entry into the European Union by 2030, currently the main EU states are against expansion.

Mediu:  Why didn't the US congratulate Rama on his election victory? Mediu: I'm taking the European part today. Europe today has a big problem, it needs a success story, and the success story is the enlargement to the Western Balkans. Until recently, Montenegro was considered a success story, despite the problems that country has with Serbia and Russia. And so Rama's fascinating behavior of telling fairy tales and no Albanian reality has become an acceptable story, showing that Albania is a marginal attention for the EU.

From a signal that we have received in Brussels, they tell us look, Europe is like this, the Commission, etc., etc. Don't forget one thing, if I take the French President who says that Albania should be part of the EU by 2030, it is precisely France that does not accept the expansion of the EU. It is precisely France that invented this Political Community of Europe. It is precisely Merz and he does not say a word about the expansion and is skeptical. In the IDU it was said that immigrants from Africa have been stopped from going to Italy, telling them that they will end up in Albania, which is outside Europe.

So Albania is seen as a buffer to stop immigrants from Africa. As for the US, we have followed a report in the US on the problems of the elections, based also on the OSCE report. This seems like a fight for Berisha, no. This is a fight to guarantee free and fair elections.
