Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni was greeted with an unusual welcome when she arrived at "Skënderbej" Square in Tirana, Europe.
HE COULDN'T HIDE HIS SURPRISE
Meloni, who came to Tirana for the European Political Community Summit, couldn't hide her surprise at being welcomed by Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama on a platform. Meloni humorously responded to the scene, saying, "He's only doing this to be at my height."
EMBRACED THE ALBANIAN LEADER
The 1.5-meter-tall Meloni quickly lifted the 2-meter-tall Edi Rama to his feet and then embraced the Albanian leader. In a brief statement to reporters, Meloni emphasized the importance of peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia.
"IT SHOWS WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK"
She also mentioned that she didn't have time to visit the refugee camp in Gjadër. However, she noted that the ongoing efforts are progressing rapidly. "This shows that we are on the right track, as we promised," she stated.
