Europe demands free and fair elections, where parties compete with each other, not the administration with the opposition.
In a European country, when you break your word, you apologize.
When you're caught off guard, you take responsibility, you don't jump to the next, bigger, more beautiful, more unrealizable promise.
The European passport requires a separation of powers, not a political gravity where everything revolves around one.
It calls for free competition, not capitalism disguised as PPPs and uncompetitive tenders.
It requires a system where whoever is most skilled wins, not whoever is closest.
The European passport is not issued for spectacular inspections, where the prime minister and ministers line up at the construction site like in the old documentaries of the Kinostudio "New Albania".
She demands that the 900 noisy inspections of the Prime Minister and ministers be carried out quietly by the NFA and the inspectorates tasked with inspection.
Europe demands free and fair elections, where parties compete with each other, not the administration with the opposition.
The European passport is for countries that recycle waste, not promises.
For places where incinerators burn trash, not public funds and legal evidence.
But more than that, the European passport requires standards.
It requires schools that educate, not that issue diplomas.
A salary to live with dignity.
Pensions that keep you alive, not that lead to debt for medicine.
Justice that is given while you are alive, not when you have passed away.
Property that is protected by law, not that is stolen by court order.
Europe is an area of security, freedom and justice.
We are similar only in one aspect: geographical position!
Yes, the European passport requires a lot.
More than the signature of a prime minister, more than a ceremony with a blue flag as a backdrop.
Believing that a piece of paper with stars can replace standards we never built is like confusing a barcode with dignity.
Because in Albania, it is not a problem to become European on paper and in promises, the problem is to behave like a European in everyday life.
And the hardest of all:
To govern like a European.
The passport makes a difference, but the mind, reality, and mentality make even more difference.
When you hear about the European passport, remember that:
We don't miss "papers." We miss Europe in everyday life.
Because Europe is not a refuge, it is a standard.
And that standard is not stamped, but built.
Europe is here. We are not there.
And to be built, it doesn't require miracles, magic, or fantasy.
It is enough to learn and instill as a "habit", just one word:
Good governance.
Then we won't need an EU passport.
An identity card will suffice.
