The turning point of Europe and the Tirana Summit

The turning point of Europe and the Tirana Summit

Ditmir Bushati in his Public Square podcast this week brings arguments about the EU Summit in Tirana, why Tirana was chosen and how it will affect the positive step that was taken when it was held in Albania.

Bushati starts from the Berlin Process, where, after listing some of his "failures", he concludes with the fact that in the end it was the Berlin agreements (free movement of citizens throughout the region, mutual recognition of qualifications) that ultimately gave him concrete results in the Western Balkans.

Speaking about the EU Summit in Tirana, and the positive step it marked, what Bushati calls the "big gap" still remains on the horizon, and he is talking about the deadline for our region's membership in the EU. The same for political and economic instruments, where he asks the question: why does the EU not have the same solidarity as with the backward ones within its bosom?
