BY ENTON ABILEKAJ The great joy of Berisha’s opponents at his being barred from Kosovo was real! The barriers closed the road, and it became even more obvious that the Albanian government is in the hands of the Bajraktar and the clan of clans. Dedicated to the efforts of the professionals in the temporary ministry of Kosovo to indoctrinate the influence of the opposition and of the presidential side. The opposite happened with the Kosovar politicians, who made it quite clear that what has happened is final. In the same way, the Albanian license plate was not allowed to pass in order to enter Kosovo, and the road does not change even with the ambassador or the government man. In its statement, the border police has made it clear that all the steps of our government are now carried out under the control of foreign circles. For the politicians of the governing parties with whom the previous government shared agreements with the clan and the Kumanovo agreements, this is a victory for their rule. But in fact this is a failure of the opposition taken hostage. The great Albanian supporters of our government are nowhere else except hostage to the agreements with the temporary ministry of Kosovo, which today has no support among its own people. This is the moment when Albania must show maturity and step away from the ugly path of a government without principles. If the government continues to behave as a hostage of the circles that command the borders and the politics, then any claim it makes to sovereignty remains invalid.
