L’Albania mira a diventare membro dell’UE entro il 2030, afferma il Primo Ministro Rama dopo colloqui “storici”.

From the above article:

Albania aims to become a full-fledged member of the European Union by the end of the decade, its Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Tuesday, following the opening of accession negotiations he called “historic”.

“It is our aim to complete that process within this decade and be ready to knock at the door of the European Council as a member state,” Rama told reporters in Luxembourg, where an [**intergovernmental conference (IGC) was held**](https://www.euronews.com/my-europe/2024/10/15/albania-kicks-off-eu-membership-talks-despite-political-turmoil-at-home) with the Balkan nation.

Albania played phenomenal politics and in order to get EU accession. There is much to learn for other countries:

First they fully seize the geopolitical momentum after the Ukraine war, as did many others as well. Additionally, they perfectly recognized that they need to decouple from Macedonia, because the front runner Montenegro would be completely isolated and no land connection to EU territory. So they did a masterclass in marketing and decoupled from Macedonia in order to couple to Montenegro and rebrand them as Mediterranean Countries rather than Western Balkans. Albania also learned to court other important institutions in the Western World. Especially it made friends with international agencies like the IMF and other important people, took the reforms and ideas seriously and made great friends which could make a case in Brussels for quicker accession. It also persuaded Italy with a Ruanda scheme. For a publicity stunt Italy now is in Albanias debt, which will materialize in the negotiations. Albania is also smart enough to not get its history in its way. That is something that makes it stand out of the WB6 together with Montenegro.

Bring in Kosovo too. Might as well bring in both majority Albanian speaking countries together.

So all the migrants that melony is sending there will be in schengen space and be able to roam back to italy? Very clever melony
