The lesson of Kosovo
By ALEKSANDËR GIPA
Sali Berisha conveyed yesterday morning a new anti-Albanian current, once again setting out what the problem remains for him: the integrist totality; he does not write only of the surroundings of [?
Unlike last November, he parted ways with his own representatives and, with that very occasion, showed that he is a figure surpassed in the Albanian process. While all state policies have not retreated from the Albanian totality “beyond the fence,” the reality is that European geopolitics can by no means change the rules of its game for Albania, so the outlook of the group with which the right-wing supporting electoral campaign was linked is now dead and unacceptable. Koha Jonë, with its editorials, made this very clear. Meanwhile, part of his electorate challenged Berisha himself and the structures he represents. Instead, he emerged stripped bare, in dimensions extremely dangerous for the government of yesterday itself. If one understands Kosovo’s present situation, it is clear that no one has the moral right to bring to Tirana either the failed history of the Albanian political conflict or the culture of institutions based on violent solutions. KOSBE oversees the UN administration, but it is equally true that the Kosovars have also determined politics and institutions. In his positions toward Kosovo he is backward, compared with its developments and demands. Now, if you notice, even the former leaders of Berisha’s campaign in Kosovo see Tirana outside the framework of the Albanian crisis, aspiring to return to a modern and Western policy. This is necessary, because only in this way can the same approach be carried out for Albanians wherever they are. In Tirana yesterday Berisha appeared almost in the position of a man appealing to the past to obstruct the future. He tried to clothe the situation in old propaganda and in formulas that today seem yellowed. If Albanians in Kosovo have learned their lesson, it is clear that Albanian politics in Tirana must learn it too. This was also the meaning of what can be called the lesson of Kosovo.
