The NATO summit planned for 2027 will not take place in Tirana, as announced by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama. This decision follows criticism over Albania's low defense spending. Rama stated that while a common position on the summit's timing is still pending, it will definitely not occur in 2027, with a possibility for 2028. NATO officials have indicated that a summit will eventually happen in Albania, but the exact date remains uncertain. The plans have faced challenges due to opposition from the Trump administration and dissatisfaction among NATO members regarding Albania's defense budget. Protests against Rama's government have intensified, fueled by allegations of corruption and dissatisfaction with university conditions. Opposition lawmakers have also disrupted parliamentary sessions in support of the protests, while Rama maintains that his government is acting within legal frameworks.
