Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has won a fourth term in parliamentary elections and
remains at the head of the Albanian government. Journalists in Albania say the victory was
expected, but what is unexpected is the number of parliamentary seats won. Albania has
received the green light to open negotiations for EU accession, but on the other hand, Rama
has been dogged by numerous corruption scandals in the past period. We talk about the
election result and expectations from the old and new government with Euronews Albania
journalist Ardit Hoxha.
The arrest of the ex-President Meta, the migrant camps and the EU path of Albania in the focus of this
Labyrinth.
Albania started a fierce fight against corruption - this is how Albanian citizens see the arrest of the
former President, Ilir Meta. With colleague Arber Hitaj from Report TV from Tirana, we discuss the arrest
and trust in the Special Prosecutor's Office. Topics of conversation were the migrant camp, as well as
European integration, that is, the unblocked road for Albania and the Balkan tour of the President of the
European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, which started right from Tirana.
After Tirana, Von der Leyen visited Skopje. From the Government, she assured the citizens that
expansion remains the focus of the European agenda. Neither the President Von der Leyen, nor Prime
Minister Mickoski gave a concrete answer to the question of whether the proposal for delayed
implementation of the possible constitutional amendments is acceptable to the EU.
