I travelled to Rome to meet Giuliano Amato, Italian Interior Minister, former Italian Prime minister and head of the International Commission on the Balkans until 2006. Since he spoke in English, and the whole interview is recorded, you can listen to one of Europe’s leading statesman with an interest in the region: why Montenegro can be taken for granted; why there is a need for a bold vision: that all the Balkans will join the EU by 2014; how Tirana has changed; and how fears of illegal migration feed into enlargement fatigue.
You find the whole interview here:
