The President of the European Commission, Ursula Von der Leyen, during the conference with Prime Minister Edi Rama and German Chancellor Oal Scholz, was also asked about the issue of immigration.
In response to the journalists' question, Von der Leyen said that immigration was not the focus of the discussions at this summit, but added that something like this was discussed among the EU countries a few days ago, where some rules of immigration will soon be adopted. cloud.
She added that she is working with the Balkans to prevent illegal immigration and to strengthen borders.
" There were limited discussions about immigration. It was not the focus of our discussions and we definitely had a look with the EU about the migration routes through the Western Balkans. I can say that the first issue if we see it from the EU is to have our internal rules addressed and that is to complete the pact of asylum and refugees but we are on a path as we have agreed on the management of the crisis. We are working closely with the Western Balkans such as strengthening the borders to have agreements with some, an accurate registration of refugees and visa policies are also important. European agencies are trying their best. As for legal channels, we are including the Western Balkans through immigration management for external borders ," she said.
While Prime Minister Rama said that he agrees with what the President of the EC said, as he added that Albania is a dog and will always be ready to help regarding the issue of refugees.
" We had discussions on this matter and I cannot add more to what the president said. What I can say from our side, we are not part of the Balkan road and in that aspect, this phenomenon, but as always we are here ready to help and we have always done so. Albania is the only country in Europe that had more Jews after World War II and became a center for Jews and none were given to the Nazis. We also have the experience and the drama after the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and half a million who were forced to leave their homes because they were under attack and literally, even with the housing of Afghans and the situation created, and with the cooperation with Afghanistan. That's all I can say to answer your question. I agree with the president that this phenomenon is such that it should be taken on in a more united way and specifying the rules for the EU and for us because the Balkans is the most extraordinary reality and I don't think there is any reality in the history of mapping where a geographical and political entity surrounded by EU countries. We are surrounded by the borders of the EU and in a sense we are part of it for better or for worse ", said Rama.
