Why has Edi Rama become impatient in Kosovo?

Alfred Lela

The Prime Minister of Albania has a relationship with Kosovo and its leaders, which can be seen, at least, as capricious. What seems like a mild description of the strong ups and downs relationship with the leaders of the second Albanian state in the Balkan Peninsula, in fact, gives the essence of Rama's program (or lack thereof) regarding Kosovo.

To put it bluntly, it does not operate with a national register, but with an international agenda. The latter does not seem like a project that serves the displacement forward and the fruitful position of the Albanian cause in the world but as a self-promotion platform of the Prime Minister of Albania. You can find, among other things, the prominence of this self-pity, both in the parody statement of the Serbian President: 'these things Edi knows, he is a global leader', as well as in the pollock's brush of Minister Milva Ekonomi, who had distinguished the Prime Minister as the only international brand of Albania.

While Edi the international brand is not a problem at all, it even helps the image of the country, the public communication of today is especially the image and its accompaniment, it turns into impatience and an obstacle when it becomes a goal in itself.

If you put to the test of memory the lecture of Mr. Rama, you will remember at least two moments when he calls for a 'global consciousness', implying a role for himself, greater than the scope and geopolitical impact of the country he represents allows. As a preferred example to illustrate why Albanians and Serbs should become brothers, the Franco-German pact was brought, which was built on the ruins of two world wars. Mentioning and implying the founding fathers of Europe, Konrad Adenauer, and Robert Schuman, he put himself in the role of Balkan conciliator, along with Aleksandar Vucic. What will be emphasized in this case, and has logical and historical significance, is that in this duo only Vuçiç has something to offer, and if he does, he should look not to Albania, but to Kosovo.

This is the Kosovar anger with Edi Rama, and this he pretends to understand, or pretends. This protagonism of peace with the expenses of the blood bank and the memory of the other, makes the Prime Minister seem insensitive and a political adventurer, at least in Kosovo. At the core of this misunderstanding of historical truths and sensibilities, lies the Kosovar side with it. Apart from Hashim Thaçi, unfortunately in The Hague, the Prime Minister of Albania does not find any political door to knock on in Prishtina, and this is not for the whims of Kosovar political exponents.

Rama is fascinated with the open society, the global village, his role in it, and the holy ghost of Soros above all, as he looks like one of the chiefs of 6 European countries that still do not recognize Kosovo. Without reaching an Albanian-Albanian pact, there can be no Albanian-Serbian peace. Whoever feeds this illusion knows neither history nor law, but only personal interest and the 'black magic' that heals the world from the conflict with empty phrases of the international left.

Finally, Rama brought another parallel to evoke the Serbo-Albanian peace, the bloody Japanese-American L2B conflict. Nothing more can be said about this analogy than the simple fact that two emperors enter and leave the war in the hours of mutual horror, but the aggressor and the victim, as in the case of the Serbo-Kosovo, are subject to a different calendar.

In the end, if Rama is going to open the Balkans, he wants the historical role of reconciliation of the peninsula, etc., he must start it from the Albanians. Both in Prishtina and in Tirana.
