What made the gift even more special was that the lightweight scarf was designed by an Italian designer who had relocated to Albania, showcasing the strong cultural ties between the two nations.

Edi Rama gifted a beautiful scarf to Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, designed by an Italian designer currently residing in Albania, highlighting the strong cultural ties between the two nations.

Meloni had already developed a relationship seen as cordial with Musk, who was invited to Atreju, a youth event for her Brothers of Italy party, in late 2023. But amid alarm among parties including Italy's defence community and its presidency, there has been an increasing politicization of the potential Starlink contract.
