Prime Minister Edi Rama was part of a conference with the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg. In his speech, Stoltenberg said that despite Wagner’s revolt, Russia should not be underestimated and should continue with support for Ukraine.

The prime minister of the Netherlands, Belgium and Norway as well as the President of Romania, Poland and Lithuania were also present at the conference.

At the joint press conference with Prime Minister Edi Rama, his counterpart from the Netherlands, Mark Rutte, said that Putin’s plan is failing. “The path that Ukraine has taken is the same that we have taken against Russia. “Putin’s plan is failing and with this aggression he remembered that he would fight us, but we know that we will stand firm for common security, with a defense on the eastern flank,” Rutte said.

 Albanian Prime Minister Rama, in his speech, focused on the tensions in the north of Kosova, where he said that any escalation could bring a catastrophic end. 

” We can also discuss the disturbing situation in the Western Balkans, i.e. in the north of Kosova, where a few days and weeks ago where KFOR soldiers were injured and we wish that logic prevails and the de-escalation is reduced because any escalation can bring a catastrophic end. And we don’t want to see an end in the Western Balkans because we have done a lot of good work,” Rama said.
