Prime Minister of Albania Edi Rama discusses his willingness to fight corruption and organized crime and how to convince young people to stay in the country and devote their lives to public service, how as the mayor of Albania's capital city Tirana, he used colorful paint and creative design to restore people's faith in government, and how the Muslim majority co-exist peacefully with the Christians and how the rest of the world can learn from this example.
ალბანეთის პრემიერ-მინისტრი - ედი რამა: „ჩვენი მეგობარი საქართველოს პრეზიდენტი გმირია ალბანეთის ახალგაზრდა თაობის პოლიტიკოსებისთვის. ძალიან დიდია მისი ღვაწლი ქვეყნის წინაშე. ჩვენ კი დაგვიმტკიცა, რომ შეუძლებელი არაფერია, თუკი ადამიანს აქვს მტკიცე ხედვა და უნარი, მიჰყვეს მას. ამავე დროს ჩვენ გაგვიმართლა, რადგან მისი გამოცდილებიდან ბევრს ვსწავლობთ და შეგვიძლია ერთმანეთს საკუთარი იდეები გავაცნოთ. დაბოლოს, მოხარული ვარ, რომ შემიძლია გავუზიარო მას ჩემი შეხედულებები იმასთან დაკავშირებით, თუ როგორ უნდა ვებრძოლოთ მარტივ პოპულიზმსა და მარტივ რიტორიკას სამყაროს შეცვლის თაობაზე, რაც, საბოლოოდ, შეიძლება, კოშმარად იქცეს". The Prime Minister of Albania - Edi Rama: "Our friend and president of Georgia is a hero in Albania among the young generation of politicians and people getting involved in politics. What he did for the country was outstanding for many others and for us also, because he proved that nothing is impossible if one has the vision and the courage to follow his vision. And at the same time we are lucky because now we can learn from his experience and in the same time we can exchange much faster our preoccupations and our ideas. And last but not least I'm also very happy to exchange with him preoccupations and ideas about how to fight against easy populism and easy rhetoric of changing world like this which at the end ends as a nightmare."
Earlier this month, a mass fight broke out during a futbol match between Serbia and Albania after a drone carrying Albania's flag flew onto the field. The violence amongst players and fans captured the deep animosity between the two countries. So why are the two nations so mad at each other? TestTube Daily takes a look.

Interview with Arta Dade, member of the Parliament of Albania, speaking on the Women Parliamentarians Alliance. In Brussels during the Women in Parliament (W...
The Serbian Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic, has said a flag incident that halted a Euro 2016 qualifier against Albania was a "political provocation". The match in Belgrade was stopped after 41 minutes when a drone carrying an Albanian flag sparked a brawl. Uefa is opening disciplinary cases against both Serbia and Albania, AP news agency reports. A brother of Albanian PM Edi Rama denied being detained in Serbia on suspicion of controlling the drone. Olsi Rama told Albanian TV channel SuperSport that reports of his arrest were untrue after Serbian state TV announced he had been held on suspicion that "he masterminded and executed the incident". He flew back to Albania after the match in the Serbian capital, which he had reportedly attended as a VIP. Ordinary Albanian fans had been banned from attending the game between the two Balkan nations, which have a long and bitter history of rivalry. Edi Rama is due to go to Serbia next week, the first visit by an Albanian leader to Serbia in nearly 70 years. 'Regretful' incident Play was stopped towards the end of the first half of Tuesday night's match in the Partizan Stadium when a drone appeared above the pitch, trailing a banner marked with an Albanian flag and a map of "greater Albania" showing nationalist claims on neighbouring states, including Serbia. Serbia defender Stefan Mitrovic pulled down the flag, which several Albania players then attempted to take. A melee involving numerous players ensued. English referee Martin Atkinson led the teams off the field after some fans invaded the pitch and clashed with members of the Albanian team. Following a delay of about 30 minutes, the match was abandoned. Serbia captain Branislav Ivanovic said the Albanian team was not "in a physical or psychological state to continue". The Serbian foreign minister asked how the international community would have reacted had Serbia fans staged a similar stunt in Albania or Kosovo, the breakaway region of Serbia where the ethnic Albanian majority declared independence six years ago. "If someone from Serbia had unveiled a flag of Greater Serbia in Tirana [capital of Albania] or Pristina [capital of Kosovo] it would already be on the agenda of the UN Security Council," he told Serbian newspaper Blic. The Serbians and Albanians have until next Wednesday to respond to Uefa, Uefa spokesman Pedro Pinto told AP. Uefa President Michel Platini said he was "deeply saddened" by what had happened, adding: "Football is supposed to bring people together and our game should not be mixed with politics of any kind. The scenes in Belgrade last night were inexcusable." Fifa chief Sepp Blatter said: "Football should never be used for political messages. I strongly condemn what happened in Belgrade last night." Heroes' welcome The prime minister's brother issued his denial after reports that he had been detained for 40 minutes before being put in a vehicle and taken to the airport. Serbian media say he showed police a US passport after he was detained. The Albania team returned home to a heroes' welcome in Tirana on Wednesday, AP news agency reports. Up to 3,000 flag-waving supporters gathered outside the city's airport. Prime Minister Rama praised the players on his Twitter page for "the pride and joy they gave". His visit to Serbia next Wednesday became possible after the normalisation of relations last year in an agreement brokered by the EU, which both Albania and Serbia have applied to join.

UEFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against the Football Associations of both Serbia and Albania after their Euro 2016 qualifier in Belgrade on Tuesday was abandoned after descending into violence on the pitch. The Group I encounter, which went ahead despite long-standing political tensions between the two nations, was initially halted just before half-time by a drone trailing a pro-Albania banner hovering over the Partizan Stadium pitch. However, the incident erupted after Serbia defender Stefan Mitrovic brought down the flag, which seemed to upset a number of Albania players, leading to a melee involving both teams. The violence forced referee Martin Atkinson to lead the sides off the field, as disruption in the stands threatened to boil over, with objects being thrown onto the pitch at Albania players in the wake of the chaos. UEFA match delegate Hari Bin confirmed the governing body would investigate what happened in Belgrade after the game, before spokesman Pedro Pinto told the Associated Press on Wednesday: "We will open disciplinary cases against both national associations." Both football associations will have until next Wednesday to respond to the charges, with a decision on the punishments set to be issued the following Thursday. UEFA president Michel Platini described the violence as inexcusable, adding: "Our game should not be mixed with politics of any kind." FIFA president Sepp Blatter also denounced what happened in Belgrade, taking to Twitter to express his disappointment.
Serbian officials accused Albania of a deliberate political provocation after a drone flew an Albanian nationalist banner over a stadium in Belgrade during a soccer match between the two Balkan rivals, sparking violence between players and fans.
