Albanians from Kosovo and North Macedonia protest in Tirana, Rama: Leave Albin
Edi Rama

Prime Minister Edi Rama has reacted through a post regarding the participation of citizens from Kosovo and North Macedonia in the protests held in Tirana against the government.

Sharing a post by a citizen from Tetovo, Rama emphasized that the Albanians of North Macedonia cannot be considered the diaspora of Albania, just as the Albanians of Kosovo cannot be considered such.

"The Albanians of North Macedonia are not a diaspora of Albania in a foreign land. Together with the Macedonians of North Macedonia, they are a state-forming people in their own land in the neighboring state. The diaspora are the exiles in foreign countries, not them or the Albanians of Kosovo, who have their own independent state," Rama writes.

The head of government harshly criticized those who, according to him, organized the arrival of protesters from Pristina and Tetovo to Tirana, describing the participants as "zealous victims" of political caravans.

According to Rama, the use of national flags and Albanian symbols in protests to demand the overthrow of the Albanian government damages the image of Albanians in the region and in the international arena.

He also leveled accusations about the financing of these movements, stating that their sponsors are spending money only to damage the image of Albanians in Kosovo and North Macedonia.

In his reaction, the prime minister also focused on the use of the KLA flag in the protest, calling this a "desecration" of the symbol of the liberation war.

At the end of the post, Rama requested that his statement not be interpreted as an attack on Kosovo's Prime Minister, Albin Kurti.

He stressed that he does not consider Kurti responsible for the Vetëvendosje activists who, according to him, were involved in the protest.

"Leave Albin Kurti out of this mess," concludes the prime minister's reaction.

Rama's full reaction:

I don't know the lady, but someone sent me this post that prompted me to write the following:

The Albanians of North Macedonia are not a diaspora of Albania in a foreign land, together with the Macedonians of the North they are a state-forming people in their own land in the neighboring country!

Diaspora are immigrants in foreign countries, not those, nor the Albanians of Kosovo, who have their own independent state.  

When the blind soldiers of political caravans from Pristina and Tetovo appear in Tirana as a "diaspora", with national flags that become the decor of such a farce and with white pleated skirts that are blackened by a deception like this, they are simply eager victims who cannot ask themselves a simple question:

Does anyone who loves Albanians in trouble and chaos worry or rejoice when they see this "diaspora" of North Macedonia and Kosovo rushing like an invading horde on four-wheeled horses towards Tirana, to overthrow the Albanian government?

This is a question that their sponsors should actually ask themselves, who I assure you are spending their money solely to damage the national and international image of the Albanians of North Macedonia and Kosovo itself. Because as for me and the Socialist Party government, they must continue to pay for oil, food, and gas, until the day our inextricable contract with 856,177 Albanians, inside and outside the homeland, ends. May 2029.

And I will never forget the desecration of the KLA liberation flag, raised as a banner of hatred for the overthrow of the government in Tirana! What a gift for those who do not know Kosovo and for those who have always ridiculed us as a people without state-building skills. Together with the desecration and mudslinging, they have also brought the Father of Albania, Gjergj Fishta, to the top of their pen: 

"You rascals and slanderers,

vagabonds,

Dirty ticks, dirty microbes,

Oh my poor Albania!

"You have ashes in your lungs..."

Post Scriptum. And let no one speculate by linking this note to the name of the Prime Minister of Kosovo, because I can in no way make him, nor imply him, responsible under any circumstances, for any of the Vetëvendosje sallahanas who have been involved in this mess of hell. I am not saying this at all for a protocolic mouthwash, but because I know very well that every broad political umbrella also carries its sallahanas and I would insult Albin's intelligence if I thought that he judges like them. So leave Albin Kurti out of this disgusting mess.
