A very serious event took place today in Albania. Hundreds of citizens are signing a petition for the departure of us-full-power Ambassador to Albania, her excellency Yuri Kim.
There are no protests against the U.S. ambassador in Moscow either.
Nor is there a petition against the US ambassador in Hungary.
Nor in China is there such an aggressive pragany against American diplomats.
Vladimir Putin, Viktor Orban, Xi Yipning or Kim Jong are very careful in stocks or movements against American ambassadors.
The four do not compare to the aggressiveness of Sali Berisha and his party against the US embassy.
But why right now this massive attack on Yuri Kim's departure when it is well known that even if he leaves, the next ambassador to be decreed by President Biden and Secretary Blinchen will have the same diplomatic stance as Yuri Kim?
The answer is very simple.
At a time when every European state is removing Russian diplomats from their countries, in Albania and the region, Russian bases have been vitalized and have declared war on American diplomats seeking their departure. Only Tirana, Belgrade and Podgorica protest against America as the last desperate attempt that the Balkans do not enter the EU and enter American influence in the next 100 years.
After the closure of the U.S. Embassy in 1997 and the helicopter evacuation from the Qemal Stafa stadium of all embassy personnel, this is Berisha's second well-organized attack against the US in the 32 years after communism.
The petition against U.S. Ambassador Yuri Kim is clearly action to relativize and balance the departure of many Russian diplomats from Europe.
Today I have felt ashamed that my fellow citizens in Tirana are signing against the state we owe for the independence of our two Albanian states in the Balkans.
Remember without the US, we Albanians would be "a geographical expression without borders" as Europe once defined us.
Apologies to Mrs. Yuri Kim, but they are not Albania, but the party.....
