The Dutch Prime Minister surprises with the statement: We almost got physical with Rama in Sofia, Albania has problems with...

The Dutch Prime Minister, Mark Rutte, told an episode of the past with his Albanian counterpart, Edi Rama, that at the Sofia Summit earlier, they were almost physically caught.

Among other things, he highlighted one of the problems that our country is suffering today, which are the vacancies in the judiciary.

"I remember the Western Balkans summit in Sofia, where we almost got physical with each other. But even then, we kept the membership issues behind us. However, Albania has been working on these issues. We had cooperation. There is a problem of vacancies for judges in Albania, after the system has been cleaned, but in the meantime these vacancies must be filled. People need to be educated. We have not reached the maximum, but in the Netherlands they are not perfect either.

Rama: If we had not had problems with corruption, we would have said; now we would have to be in the EU. We are aware that there is much to be done. No doubt. That's the reason you said before. It's not like Sweden and Finland joining NATO. So with time we realized that it should be like this.
