In a Skype connection on News24, journalist Mentor Kikia spoke about political developments in the country, also analyzing the progress of the country's integration process.

During the interview, he emphasized that 'the champagne has been opened several times', but when they had to show their skills to close chapters, they realized that the matter is not that simple.

Kikia highlighted food security, the environment, climate, transparency, media freedom, justice standards, elections, and any issue you touch upon are important.

"They had opened the champagne for the negotiations several times. And when it came to showing the ability to close these chapters, they realized that integration was sometimes a mountain and sometimes a sea and that there were extraordinary barriers. And at this point they managed to say that it was the fault of those in the opposition who were blackmailing us with the protest. Food security, the environment, climate, transparency, media freedom, justice standards, elections, so any issue you touch on is important. So the blockage is not related to the will of a single country, we must first close the negotiation process and each EU member state must ratify the process... Now we are negotiating with Brussels, the political love is over and now it is the turn of the experts and the experts are cold. So here the pace of our enthusiasm also fell, the year 2027 was rumored as the year that the negotiations would be closed, but they started saying that maybe in 2030 there may be countries that do not want us "They want to, but the ball is in our court, and we will have to know how to play," he said.
