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

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama criticized Ukraine's EU accession promises as false, stating that Ukraine will never meet existing criteria. He argued for a fundamental revision of the EU's enlargement methodology, advocating for a phased integration model for candidate countries. Rama also called for the removal of member states' veto rights, emphasizing that a single country should not block EU decisions. His comments come as EU officials reject Ukraine's accelerated accession timeline, insisting that membership remains merit-based despite the ongoing war. The EU's expansion has become a strategic priority, but legal criteria must be met first.
