Albania’s PM says EU is making false promises to Ukraine about membership

Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama has criticized the European Union for making unrealistic promises to Ukraine regarding its membership in the bloc. Rama claims that the EU's current accession procedure, which requires countries to meet strict criteria, is unlikely to lead to Ukraine's membership. Instead, he proposes a different approach, suggesting that Ukraine should be brought to the negotiating table now and ultimately granted full membership based on its performance in meeting specific conditions.

Additionally, Rama addressed the potential impact of further EU enlargement on decision-making within the bloc, advocating for the abolition of national vetoes to allow Europe to compete more effectively with other global powers.
