Prime Minister Edi Rama said a day earlier from Dublin that the NATO summit could be held not in 2027, but perhaps in 2028. Immediately after this statement, news circulated in some media that the holding of the Summit in Albania had been cancelled. Today the Media and Information Agency clarifies that the decision to organize the next NATO Summit in Tirana remains unchanged, but according to MIA, Rama’s statement concerned only the timing of the Summit, not a change in the decision that Albania will be the host country.
“Prime Minister Rama has stated that the next NATO summit will be held in Tirana. This decision remains unchanged. As for the year and date of the summit, they are determined through the joint decision-making of the allied countries in the North Atlantic Council. The Prime Minister’s statement yesterday is a clarification on the timing of the Summit and not a denial of the decision to organize it in Albania. Tirana as the host country is confirmed. The timing is determined by the Alliance itself,” MIA clarified.
Rama yesterday from Dublin expressed his conviction that whenever the next NATO Summit is held, the organizing country will be Albania. “Albania is projected as the next host of the NATO summit. The issue is that a common position has not been reached on when the summit will be held. It is certain that it will not be in 2027. In 2028, if there is a summit, it will be held in Tirana and there is no doubt about this, and everything that is said afterwards about this is all nonsense,” Rama said yesterday from Dublin.
