"I am the best prime minister among painters and the best painter of prime ministers, I am unique here. "Bush tried, but he did not succeed, here he did not succeed, you know that here in the Balkans we need to say that we are the best."

This was said by Prime Minister Rama from Greece at the 23rd edition of "Symi Symposium" led by former Prime Minister George Papandreou.

He responded modestly as one of the officials present asked him about the integration of the Western Balkans and mentioned the fact that he entered politics as an artist in painting and that in the April 25th elections he won his third governing term.

The full statement of Prime Minister Rama:

"Thank you for giving me the opportunity to mention who I am, I am the best prime minister among painters and the best painter among prime ministers, I am unmatched here, George tried but failed and there is no one to challenge me here . In the Balkans we need to say that we are the best in the world for something.
It is very clear that while preparing for the wedding we must do everything to make the region an EU-like region to implement the 4 EU freedoms, to make the borders fluid, to make the trade such.
The waiting time for trucks at the Balkan borders to cross between them, to go to Thessaloniki or Durrës is 1100 years per year, trucks wait 1100 years at the border only to cross the non-tariff barriers of the region and to present double, triple sometimes documents on the phytosanitary aspect for example, so the solution to this would be the extraordinary release of a potential. If we manage to have this, the effect on GDP would be huge, simply with this, without investment, simply by removing barriers. By definition I do not like mini things, we started the process as a Schengen regional area to define what it was, an area where all four freedoms apply. They lost several years after Vucic wanted the free movement of goods, of capital, but not of the people because if he agreed with this he meant that the border between Kosovo and Albania would be formal. He meanwhile took the step further which is very important because I told him that if he does not accept it for the four freedoms, we are doing what we have done throughout history, the caricature of the original. It was finally agreed and this practically opens up an extraordinary horizon of possibilities. Kosovo and Bosnia do not want, why, how can you not want something that makes you free. What we agreed on with Zoran and Alexander is that apart from this it is not like the EU, we do not have to do this thing of consensus, as in the case of Bulgaria, no we do not do this because we have some things of 1900 to solve. "Highways may not bring democracy, but democracy without highways is a mess that goes to hell."
