He's doing all Albanians a big disfavour by going to Serbia in the first place. Serbia is very isolated in Balkans - as isolated as it has been in two decades, and Edi Rama is willing to lift that isolation and send a message to the EU, that Serbia has changed and is going in the right direction, while nothing further could be further from the truth. Today around 85% of the Serbian parliament consist chetniks - fully fledged or not - and that number is even higher than in the days of Milosevic.

And when he's there, he's trying to 'right his wrongs' - not 'thelbsisht', but more in a declarative manner. He's doing what we call 'po lane mut me shurre' in Kosove. Some comment about how Kosova is independent and that's it. But he's done the Serbs a favor. He's lifted their isolation and speeded up their future involvement with the EU. And what have Albanians gained? - Absolutely nothing. Serbia is still as hostile as ever towards Kosova, with their parallel structures and trying to carve up Kosova like they've done in Bosnia, and they're still suppressing the Albanians in Kosova Lindore. So what did we gain by this visit - except for doing the Serbs a favour? Not a damn thing.

Ffs, the guy is a member of VV.

Jusuf Thaci isn't and - as far as I know - has never been part of VV. He was part of Shpend Ahmeti's 'cabinet' regarding schools and education, as he's the founder of the Atomi Project which has been praised a lot. But he's left his position in the municipality of Prishtina.

@ Migjeni

I could've sweard he's a VV member just by the way he wrote that article.

Why is Rama bringing up Kosova such a big deal for some?

Imo, the issue here is not about bringing it up, as much as it is with whom and in what relation.

And the critics are in the government of Kosova. I get a feeling they feel bypassed by RA, and any discussion that touches the Albanian-Serbian relations nation wise should include them too otherwise it would mean that RA is representing Kosova too.

@vata10

Yeah, thought he was too, but he isn't and he wasn't. Shpend Ahmeti didn't choose him because of party lines, but because he knows education very well. Very unlikely in Albanian politics.

Also, politicians and whoever feel bypassed are feeling bypassed because Albania representing Kosova makes their seat insecure as dreams of unification are kept maintained, while Rama feels more secure in his, because he's giving himself the right to represent Kosova also, which he can use to show the Europeans that he's a big leader bla bla bla.

Rama tries to get brownie points with the EU but I don't think Rama has any affect whatsoever on how the EU sees Serbia.

He's just trying to improve his image, which is tanking. He doesn't give two shits about any state.

Tbh, I'm surprised that someone from PDK came out publicly criticising Rama. As PDK/Shtabi pergjithshem/LPK have always had very close ties with PS and even took notes from them on how to eliminate political opponnents.

Now back to topic!

Rama acting as a voice for Kosova especally with Serbia, more than anything shows disrespect towards Kosova and makes the rep. of Kosova look irrelevant. All this while knowing very well that RA and Serbia aren't even neighboring countries, nations yes. So everything RA and Serbia agree on, be it infrastructural, energetic, telecommunication or transport has to pass through Kosova.

It's not Rama who has an affect. It's the image of the leader of the Albanians, which is a title Rama has give himself with this visit and his comments on Kosova, meeting the leader of the Serbs. The image of them shaking hands and 'moving forward' is important to the EU. Even more important for the Serbs who would like to move closer to the EU and Edi Rama just gave them that opportunity.

I'm not. Their close ties have never been out of love for each other. Only because they've had common interests. When one party feels their interests being hurt, they'll react like in this case. The status of the government in Kosovë is being contested, because Rama acts as the leader of all Albanians.

I agree that Rama had no place there to begin with but it was because of other reasons. If the will for unification had come from Rama and that was the reason he felt like representing all Albanians it would have been different. But the guy is only there to promote himself, while doing Kosova and all Albanians a huge disfavour.

I don't understand why you ask how credible this story is? She was raped and the perpetrators were arrested. Am i missing something?

I feel under a better leasership their would be a joint front of Albania, Kosova, Bosnia and Croatia who would togetherisolate serbia completely until it behaves in the way we want it to. Unfortunately Kosova has the worst government of the balkans and Albania has Rama who's idea of unification is the EU.
