Albania wants to be a part of the EU – level 1

Albania wants to be a part of the EU

09-06-2026 07:00

Edi Rama is the leader of Albania. He says that his country must become a part of the European Union. There is no other plan for Albania.

Albania wants to be a part of the EU since 2014. But things are too slow. Rama wants the EU to help faster. Candidate countries should sit at the table with big EU states now. If the EU waits too long, bad people and Russia will tell lies to people in Albania. This happens in Moldova. Many people are now afraid and do not like Europe anymore.

Rama also speaks about the war. European leaders must still talk to Russia to stop the war.

Difficult words: plan (what you want to do), candidate country (a country which wants to join a group or organization), lie (something you say or write and it is not true).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.

Since what year has Albania wanted to be part of the European Union?
