Welcome Mrs. Albright!
Mrs. Albright was one of the first advocates of using the “iron fist” against Serbia to stop the violence against Kosovars
the visit to Miloševič compromises the Alliance for the State
The politics of yesterday’s rulers, confusion in PAD and in PDNJ, is decomposing the coalition
Leaning in the plane at a time when the plane was just an hour and a few minutes away from Rinas airport, the American ambassador, Marisa Lino, delivered a clear message in the program “Bring me flowers and I’ll like it” on Albanian public television. The U.S. ambassador explained that PDNJ left the coalition with PBDNJ because of the policy that PBDNJ had followed with Athens. Yesterday’s problem was not Haxhiu’s Albania, which had spoken as a brother and is now turned into one split with Belgrade, but rather that Balliu from PBDNJ had left the head of PBDNJ, Vasil Melo. This showed that in Albania coalitions were built on completely personal bases. But from yesterday’s meeting of the steering committee of the Alliance for the State, one came out empty-handed. The chairman of the Republicans, Fatmir Mediu, and the Alliance for the State declared that the political situation in the country is entirely personal. But this declaration cannot be justified. The debate and this situation have taken a different direction. For the very clear voice of Albright in United States foreign policy toward Albania. It is no coincidence that the leader of PBDNJ addressed Mrs. Albright with the question: “Is it enough to discipline corrupt politicians?” This question still awaits a detailed institutional review. Albright is determined to help Kosovo and to calm Miloševič’s aggressiveness.
At the same time, there is also a new American assessment for Albania. The values of compromise, which have been so violated in recent years, have become a necessity. To say that the government is pursuing correct policies while the corruption of closed doors is increasing means failing to see the problem. Kosovo adds its own moral burden to this situation. The American administration is closely following developments in Tirana. On the other hand, it is clear that without a new political standard, Albania will continue to remain unprotected in the face of internal crises.
