It is somewhat normal for a politician to differ in approach when in opposition from his approach in office, but what about the job of the head of the Kosovo Government?
Written by: Jeton Kelmendi, PhD
To have a more accurate picture, we need to go back a little to history, starting with Albin, that energetic oppositionist and his approach and his party, and continuing to today's Kurti. Not only Kosovars, but also diplomats from different countries often criticized him for his unusual approach in a democratic country. And if we go back to Albin's actions, we have many perverted acts, from violence against police officers, crashing trucks, to gas and Molotov cocktails against fellow MPs.
Albini ultranationalists?
That for insulting, spitting and declaring his opponents traitors, perhaps this has been the most common dish of this man. So, if we describe Albin in one sentence, perhaps the most accurate thing could be said that Albin is an ultranationalist and a great Albanian. This impression may have been created especially by laymen of politics and even those who were not where they needed to be in real time. There may be other ideas about this aspect, but I believe that everyone can agree that from Albin we had a big-talking politician, but how did the journey continue until today's Kurti!
From the revolutionary Albini to the governmental Kurti, there is a mountain of events and if we elaborate on all of this, we would need not only an analytical article, but also books, but this is not very important. What is important is that Albini has declared all the politicians who have not been in his service as traitors, to promise to improve all these things as soon as he comes to power and this has happened after more than a decade, when this person came and became Kurti.
Like Kurti, – this politician, not that he has not changed anything in his approach and policy-making, but he has signed the same ones, see recently the agreement on energy in the north of the country, or even the one on license plates. These reveal to us a completely different person, so from the opposition Albin to the government Kurti, we have a radical change in appearance, so much so that it seems as if someone has changed this man's mind, or we have a completely different person. Realistically, every action of his and his party has a different approach, but how is this possible? No, not at all. From Albin to Kurti there are many movements, there are many oscillations and above all there are many appearances, which mystify the strange personality of this man, but what I would like to put forward is that Albin was the Kurti we have today, but could he have been dressed in the skin of a patriot, while having the body of a politician? For me, based on his history and his family genesis, Albin is the Kurti we have today and it was this same Kurti who was known as Albin until today, he simply knew how to play the Machiavellian politician's game well, where everything he was not a part of was bad, even the actions of Ibrahim Rugova, while everything that happened to him is good and successful. In a word, from the opposition Albin to the government Kurti we have many lost years for Kosovo and a stagnation that has given a bad taste to Kosovo politics, while the citizens are those who are today bearing the consequences of this satanic journey: from the loss of the opportunity for visa liberalization, to prosperity in European integration processes and membership in international organizations. In short, this journey was a journey from somewhere to nowhere, which is why we are at this stage, where the hopes of the citizens, torn by this same man, can now not be mended by either Albin, Kurti, or even Albin Kurti.
