Observation/ US Embassies in the Balkans Skip Congratulations for Trump
The inauguration of the 47th President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, was the main event of January, a historic moment for the US and the entire world. As such, the expectation and congratulations for the passing of the baton from Joe Biden to Donald Trump have not been lacking.
But an interesting moment is observed in the relations of US embassies around the world and the new American presidency itself. Since Donald Trump's victory, the US Embassy in Tirana has not made any official congratulations to the new President. The silence culminated yesterday with Trump's swearing-in, an action that has not gone unnoticed. Dozens of commentators write on other posts of the Embassy asking why there is no congratulations for the new President.
" The biggest Sorrosistas in Europe and Albania have been so busy congratulating the new president on his appointment !" - writes one commentator.
" Why haven't you posted anything about President Trump, you Soros scoundrels?"
"I was hoping you would congratulate him on the day he took office. You didn't even do it today! You are not America!"
"How could you stoop so low, not to cover President Trump's inauguration?!! Shame on you!"
The same silence is also on the Embassy's official website, where a post about the Minister of Health, Albana Koçiu, is visible, but not a word about the change of the new American president.
But if you think this is simply an "Albanian" issue on the internet, Dosja.al went a little further.
The same silence follows at the American Embassy in Pristina. The same in Belgrade. Silence in Skopje too. In all the countries where the diplomatic activity of the US embassies is most active, such as in the Western Balkans, the new president is not news that excites diplomatic representatives.
To see if this is a formal action or a political stance, Dosja.al verified what happened in 2021. On January 20, 2021, when Joe Biden took office, the American Embassy in Tirana posted the congratulatory message the day before, on January 19.
US Embassy Tirana Post 2021:
Posts from embassies in the Balkans about Biden in 2021:
While embassies in one country refuse to congratulate their president, the same has not happened in other countries. All US embassies in Europe have congratulated Trump on his official inauguration.
The US Embassy in Berlin writes that Trump's return to the White House restores success, freedom, strength and security to America.
At such a key moment in US history, the refusal of a group of embassies in the Western Balkans to reject the official announcement of the election of the new president speaks volumes about the division in the State Department, between a group of officials who continue to support Biden and those who side with Trump./ Dosja.al
