Prime Minister Edi Rama is involved in a debate with journalist Ali Aslan, who moderated the panel at the Security Forum in Prague.
While Prime Minister Rama was talking about how the European Union should behave with the countries that are in the process of membership, journalist Ali Aslan reminded him that the time had ended and he should close the discussion.
Rama addressed the journalist saying that if a Balkan is invited to discuss, the time should be extended.
Rama: I have to say the same thing I always say, if you invite people from the Balkans, you have to extend the time. If you want a memo, bring the Nordics, sit for 5 minutes, give them a memo and go back to the ice. When we come, we sit down, we want to discuss, have fun. Bring the Turkish coffee, let's see the future in the cup.
Aslan: Prime Minister...
Rama: You are very Germanized my friend.
Aslan: You don't think that's wrong.
Rama: Being too Germanized isn't wrong? It is very wrong.
Aslan: I don't think it's wrong. It's time to talk about football. I think it is close to home that whenever you have Prime Minister Rama on stage, we always have a very pleasant time. It is a perfect combination of content and entertainment. Believe it or not, I had even more questions.
Rama: Where are you going, what are you going to do?
Aslan: I'm here, this is my way of telling you that the session is ending. It is my simple, diplomatic way of closing this session.
