„Ceea ce i se promite este o minciună”. Premierul Albaniei afirmă că Ucraina nu va adera niciodată la UE pe baza criteriilor existente

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama criticized Ukraine's EU accession promises as a "lie," stating that Ukraine will never meet existing criteria for membership. He argued that the standard accession process is unsuitable for a country at war and called for a fundamental revision of the EU's enlargement methodology. Rama proposed a phased integration model for Ukraine and other candidate countries, allowing them immediate participation in EU working formats while delaying official membership status. He also urged the removal of member states' veto rights, emphasizing that one country should not block EU decisions. EU officials have dismissed Ukraine's accelerated accession timeline, insisting that membership remains merit-based.
