The European project should not be measured only by how quickly borders move, but also by how quickly European standards can move across borders. That is where @rccint work supporting #SEE countries becomes strategic.

A valuable exchange with PM @albinkurti and FM @KonjufcaGlauk on the first day of the @ecfr visit to Kosova. We discussed Kosova’s Euro-Atlantic path, regional security, and continued efforts to strengthen its statehood, resilience and place in the European security architecture.

Deeply saddened by the passing of Emma Bonino, one of the most distinguished voices for freedom and human rights in #Italy and #Europe. I feel fortunate to have worked with her, and to have learned from her extraordinary wisdom and experience.
Eternal gratitude, Emma. RIP💔🙏

For years 🇪🇺 has chosen the illusion of stability over democratization, turning a blind eye to the glorification of war criminals and the absence of a democratic level playing field. This statement is yet another example of a failed appeasement policy.

The body of #Mladić was received in 🇷🇸 w/ full military honours. The question is no longer how deep revisionism can go, but: Where is the bottom? How much longer will glorification of convicted war criminals, & denial of genocide, be treated as a political dispute in the Balkans?

Three months of protests in 🇦🇱 have turned flamingo into a symbol of a much bigger fight. 🇪🇺 silence, adopted as an institutional posture, should give way to strict but fair oversight that supports 🇦🇱 in meeting European standards. 👇

Nëse nuk lëvizet drejt përmbajtjes dhe gjithçka mbetet në kuadër të formës, vizita e Zelenskyy në Serbi do të hipotekohet si një akt balancues i Vučić në politikën e jashtme, në një moment të vështirë politik për të.

This may prove a defining moment in Albania's history, akin to the fall of communism and its vise-like grip on politics, culture and daily life in my country.

It was a pleasure sharing my insights with @TheNewsAgents about flamingo protest 🇦🇱🦩.

Outrageous, unacceptable and dangerous, especially when it comes from officials. There is no place in Europe for rhetoric justifying and advocating for ethnic cleansing. Serbia as an EU candidate shouldn’t be an exception. @vonderleyen @MartaKosEU @kajakallas

Today is the International Day of Reflection and Commemoration of the Srebrenica Genocide, where 8,372 Bosniak men and boys murdered in July 1995. Attempts to revise the historical record are an affront to the victims and the pursuit of justice. Remembering the truth is essential

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

Most of the protesters in Albania are children of the transition that began in 1990.
In our region, the only countries that have still not moved beyond the generation of leaders who symbolise the transition are 🇦🇱 and 🇷🇸 , though for entirely different reasons. My take 👇

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

The protests in recent weeks in Albania reflect deep-rooted concerns that demand serious attention and meaningful action. Albanians deserve accountability, justice, prosperity and a brighter future. Albania deserves better! 🇦🇱🦩

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

🇦🇱🇪🇺 path has always been undermined by corruption, state capture, weak institutions. What is happening on the streets of 🇦🇱 is the most powerful counter-evidence that has ever existed: citizens demanding 🇪🇺 standards, doing 🇪🇺 homework from the bottom up.

Albanians are protesting against the treatment of their homeland as a plunder. They believe 🇦🇱 deserves better: more justice, more dignity, more hope, and greater opportunities for everyone. A new 🇦🇱 is not merely an aspiration, but an inevitable chapter in 🇦🇱 future. #day21 🇦🇱🦩

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

European Parliament adopted a resolution calling for an immediate moratorium on new permits and construction in 🇦🇱 protected areas. This is a significant win for citizens of #Albania. #day18 🇦🇱🦩

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

The daily protests in #Albania 🇦🇱 reflects a sentiment that has been building for years in various layers of society against a merciless model built at the expense of past and future generations, consuming the contributions of the former and destroying the heritage of the latter.

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

What began as anger over access to beaches and the protection of environment turned into the question of who should decide, and how, about the future of #Albania 🇦🇱 #day14 🦩

[Ditmir Bushati @ditmirbushati]

My take on unprecedented protests going on in Albania 🇦🇱 for the last two weeks, sources of anger and the need for a democratic renewal of the country. 👇

The flamingo has become an unlikely mascot of intensifying protests in Albania against a proposed resort backed by Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, which would encroach on the birds’ breeding ground.
