ROME – Edi RamaAlbanian prime minister, in a post on X, replies to Gerardo Grecoauthor of the article published today, May 24, on Republic. Rama writes about the meeting with the journalist in Tirana: “We talked about many things in a beautiful atmosphere of friendship, and certainly also about the agreement and the history of illegal immigration from Albania to Italy, to which the D’Alema’s government managed to put an end to it with great common sense and strategic foresight. But I never imagined that I would end up once again in the swamp of the Italian political battle, quoted with words that I never said, like ‘it will be a flop’ or ‘we need D’Alema’ under the headline ‘Rama dumps Meloni’, in which I don’t recognize myself at all. However, I repeat: if I had to go back on my steps a hundred times I would make the agreement on migrants with Italy and with no other country”.

Gerardo Greco’s reply: “It’s true, President Rama is a great guest. We spent an hour in Tirana over a coffee. We obviously talked about the centers for immigrants in Albania, but also about religion and the history of Albania. At the end of our dialogue I obviously asked Rama if I could write about it and he immediately replied yes. Nobody has the intention of dragging President Rama into the swamp of Italian politics, but he himself claims that the problem will be making the Shengjin center work with Italian procedures and European rules. The quotation mark and the meaning of our very pleasant chat is faithfully reported in the piece”.
