00:00Albania è, ovviamente, Europa, come Italia o Serbia o Norway,
00:10regardless of whether they are part of this or that organisation.
00:15That is why it always makes me smile
00:19when someone attempts to claim the right to decide who's European and who's not.
00:24Among the states that are around this table today, several have decided not to join the EU.
00:33Others are inspired to be part of it.
00:36Both are no less European than the 27 EU member states.
00:41Yet the EU is today the soundest common home to achieve what I like to call
00:48European reunification attained amongst people who may differ from one another
00:55and yet they are a part of one whole, like the different fingers of a hand.
01:01Peoples who have fought each other over the centuries yet are in reality one single people.
01:09Also for this reason, being here today means taking a step forward in the historic process of reunifying Europe,
01:17because if we really want to build a new Europe in a new world,
01:21we cannot imagine doing so without the Western Balkans,
01:25without their peoples, without their identities and historical backgrounds.
01:29UNICEF-entin LING,
