Al Jazeera interviewed Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on the sidelines of the Berlin Global Dialogue conference in October, in which Rama distanced himself from some of the hysterical claims being made by his counterparts in NATO and Europe. “Russia will not attack Albania and Russia will not attack any other European country,” Rama stated, adding it would be “completely stupid” for any country to attack EU or NATO members. “NATO is ready for any kind of aggression. NATO has nobody and nothing to fear because it’s the strongest army in the world so far,” Rama declared.
The Prime Minister also noted: “The fact that the EU does not have a peace plan looks very strange to me.” Given the fact that U.S. President Donald Trump is restarting negotiations with Russia, the EU should “think about having its own diplomacy in action to promote its own vision of peace,” he added. EU officials should “find a way to talk to the Russians” to end the war.
