A well-known Ukrainian influencer, who counts 2 million followers on Instagram, has shared a video where he conducted a short interview with Prime Minister Edi Rama.
Max Klymenko appears to have shot the video during the NATO summit in Ankara, where the prime minister was also present, but shared it today.
His questions are mainly related to the Prime Minister’s daily life, his duties and commitments, and even his hobbies.
Klymenko: Hello, how are you? I’m Max.
Rama: Hello, what do you want from me?
Klymenko: I want to ask you a few questions, if that’s okay.
Rama: Definitely.
Klymenko: What is the most difficult part of your job?
Rama: So that I don’t go crazy.
Klymenko: So what is your favorite part of your job?
Rama: To do good things for people.
Klymenko: How is Albania helping Ukraine?
Rama: Listen, we have tried to do our best, we are not a big or rich country, but we have been with them with everything we could.
Klymenko: In your opinion, who is the biggest threat to Albania?
Rama: The biggest threat to Albania is the Albanians in the sense that we must be aware that we have a lot of work to do and we must continue in the direction of the European Union, and when we are in the EU we will also be secure in ourselves.
Klymenko: Your job is the second most sleep-depriving job in the world, only doctors sleep less than politicians. How much sleep do you usually get?
Rama: Usually 5 hours, it could be even less.
Klymenko: With which of the current world leaders do you think you have the best relationship and with whom do you have the most “challenging” relationship?
Rama: I have good relations with everyone, maybe the best relationship is with Giorgia, special relationship between Albania and Italy as well, I can say that I had a very challenging relationship with Mark Rutte, when he was prime minister of the Netherlands, but then we became very good friends, and we have a special friendship between us. He is the person who deals best with Donald Trump.
Klymenko: How many jobs have you had in your life? If you could list them for me?
Rama: I was a full-time artist, then I became… did I become a politician? I hope not, but I did a lot of other things, I played basketball with the national team, not because I was very good, but because I was tall.
Klymenko: Are you happy for the Knicks? (basketball team)
Rama: I no longer follow basketball after “Black Jesus” left the court, it’s not the same game anymore.
Klymenko: Finally, I want to ask about the advice you would give to a young person right now?
Rama: Listen, when I was a kid, I was always very “tight” when I had to get advice, and when I grew up I swore to myself that when I was an adult I would never give advice to young people. It’s not a good idea.
