ETHNIC BAITING disguised as policy, via @Nigel_Farage & @Telegraph: "Albania would accept all Albanian offenders". UK and Albania already have one of the strongest, if not the strongest, bilateral partnerships in this area. telegraph.co.uk/politics/2025/… @AlbanianDiplo @mia_gov_al
EU accession talks with Albania progress faster than ever. In @Europarl_EN, I reiterated that progress in negotiations is a clear sign of 🇦🇱's commitment & continued 🇪🇺 support. A whole of society involvement will be crucial to achieve 🇦🇱's goal to close negotiations by 2027.

As the Dubrovnik Forum concludes, Southeast Europe sends a clear message: Our commitment to peace is unwavering. 🇺🇦 Ukraine’s struggle reminds us - peace must be defended, not assumed. We recommit to solidarity, resilience, and a united Europe. Grateful to Minister…

A short but meaningful stop in 🇭🇷 Dubrovnik for #DubrovnikForum2025, with a clear message: The Western Balkans is not Europe’s waiting room — it’s part of its strategic core. 🇦🇱 Albania is advancing — with four negotiation clusters open, our path to the EU is strategic,…
Today in #Srebrenica, we join the people of Bosnia and Herzegovina in remembering one of the darkest chapters in Europe’s recent history — the Srebrenica Genocide, 30 years on. Commemorating this day is about honouring the victims and standing with those who continue to carry…

Nigel, Nigel, Nigel… From “one criminal in fifty Albanians,” your claim has now spiraled into: “Maybe it’s one in three, maybe one in four, I don’t know…” Really?! You don’t know? And this comes after you say you double-checked the numbers? I already pointed you to The…
I accept Prime Minister @EdiRamaal’s invitation to visit Albania as his guest of honour. We will discuss the return of Albanian prisoners.
Dear @Nigel_Farage, My Catholic grandmother, God rest her soul, used to remind me of the Latin proverb: Errare humanum est, sed perseverare diabolicum. That I guess goes something like: To err is human, but to persist in error is diabolical. So instead of bothering the already…
Dear @EdiRamaal. There are 53,000 Albanian citizens in the UK & 1,099 are in our prisons. That’s actually 1 in 48. I will be asking the Home Secretary to organise for all of these prisoners to be sent back to you. Thank you for your cooperation.
gbnews.com/politics/nigel… Ooopsss… Mr.@Nigel_Farage himself has just challenged me on the facts! What an honor — for a “giant man,” as he described me (meaning, of course, from a “tiny country”) — to earn the attention of Britain’s unrivaled virtuoso of headline politics. He…
The Polish Presidency of the EU Council has brought clarity, momentum, and renewed commitment to the enlargement process, and we are deeply appreciative. At today’s working breakfast with EU Ambassadors in Albania, marking the close of the Polish Presidency, I underlined that EU…
