Albanian PM Rama: EU lying to Ukraine on membership prospects

Albanian PM Edi Rama publicly accused the EU of misleading Ukraine about its membership prospects, asserting Ukraine cannot join through the standard process and urging a revised negotiation approach. This marks a notable break in EU candidate-country solidarity and adds to growing skepticism about enlargement timelines. The statement is a political opinion, not an official EU policy shift, but it could influence candidate-country dynamics and Ukraine's expectations.
