Rama refuses the creation of refugee camps in Albania
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama explicitly states to the European Union that he refuses the creation of refugee camps in Albania. The message was conveyed through an interview with the German daily “Bild”.
According to the prime minister, the issue of asylum seekers should not be confused with the process of Albania’s accession to the European Union.
“The refugee crisis should be treated without confusing it with our efforts to join the EU. I never think that a heroic gesture would serve as a gesture of gratitude for membership”.
The proposal of refugee camps in Albania by asylum seekers from the Muslim countries that have swelled in recent years in Europe was originally proposed by Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. The plan found support from some officials in European countries, but did not take on the anticipated significance of Sunday’s informal summit last weekend in Brussels./tvklan.al
