NATO says "NO" to Tirana! Rama announced the cancellation of the Dublin summit, Reuters reveals the reasons

The NATO summit will not be held in Albania in 2027, despite previous plans for Tirana to host the next meeting of Alliance leaders. Prime Minister Edi Rama confirmed in Dublin on Thursday that there is still no agreement among member states on the date of the summit, while announcing that Albania could host it in 2028.

" The point is that there is still no common position on when the summit will be held. Certainly not in 2027. In 2028, if there is a summit, it will be held in Tirana ," Rama declared.

But the postponement of the summit also comes amid reservations previously reported by Reuters. In June, Reuters reported that plans to host the summit in Albania had been put in doubt due to objections from the administration of US President Donald Trump and dissatisfaction among some member states over Albania's low level of defense spending.

Another factor is the discussion within NATO about changing the practice of holding summits every year. The alliance is considering the possibility of not necessarily holding high-level meetings every year, which would also avoid a potentially tense confrontation with US President Donald Trump during the remainder of his term.

However, a NATO official said on Thursday that the next summit of the Alliance will be held in Albania, but the date has not yet been set. In the statement of the Hague summit in June 2025, NATO leaders expressed the expectation that after the meeting in Turkey in 2026, the next meeting would be held in Albania. But in the statement adopted at the Ankara summit in July 2026, neither the date nor the venue of the next meeting was determined.

Thus, hosting the summit in Tirana remains on the agenda, but not for 2027, while 2028 is already the alternative publicly mentioned by Prime Minister Rama./ Reuters
