Albin Kurti In Front Of ‘Geopolitical Joker’ Aleksandar Vucic: Why Is Serbia Arming Itself For More Than A Full Decade? – OpEd
The Prime Minister of Kosovo has already been profiled as a responsible and dedicated leader in building a political environment that breathes in full accordance with the ideas of modern social democracy. The complete opposite can be said about the Serbian leader, Aleksander Vučić; he has already built his profile as an autocrat.
In the new geopolitical realignment, what position will Washington and Brussels take: for the protection of democracy and the Republic of Kosovo or for Serbian expansionist authoritarianism?
In this complicated context, it seems that Western diplomacy has already failed. The emergency visit to the director of the American Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), William Burns, was in order to prevent a slide towards the war designed by Serbia and supported by Putin. The time for balancing the interests of protecting the integrity of Kosovo and confronting Serbian expansionism, while maintaining pragmatism, is coming to an end.
Anarchy in the classical sense of the word means the existence of a system, where any kind of hierarchy is not tolerated and therefore fought.
The term anarchism is derived from the union of the Greek word ἀναρχία (anarchy) and the suffix ισμός or ισμα (ismos or izma). Anarchy (ἄναρχος, anarkos), meaning “without a ruler” – from the negative prefix ἀν (an meaning “without”) and ἀρχός (arkos meaning “leader”, “ruler”). From this we understand that anarchism has nothing to do with violence and chaos, as is often trumpeted in public discourse, but is a political philosophy that strives to create a world without rulers, i.e. without hierarchy, and a completely equal society…
In Albanian customary law, this equality is taxatively codified, especially when dealing with criminal offenses…
The freedom of the other is inviolable.
Today, this concept also means the definitions that this right carries in itself. It, that is, FREEDOM, appears to us as voluntary self-restraint and self-restraint and consideration for the weak, minorities and excluded.
For parts of the middle class, with higher education, the “reasonable” use of freedom is a philosophy of life: freedom as a reflection of necessity.
If we combine this modern concept with the Albanian virtues that have survived every ideology and every system – dedication, thirst for knowledge, the model of the teacher, loyalty to the principles – the return to identity, even in the way of living, becomes almost defining style , a Biedermeier of the era that will remake Albania.
Achieving this goal requires the joining of positive energies of the Nation.
The elections of February 9, 2025 for the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo, are also a trial test in this historical march.
The four years that we are leaving behind clearly proved the role that Kosovo has in this historic mission. The establishment and preservation of democracy, the rule of law and justice as a postulate of liberal democracy, land with economic development and prosperity – these are the central points that will give the Government of VV [Vetëvendosje Movement – the political party that leads the government of the Republic of Kosovo] the new victory on February 9, 2025.
The deep victory of VV on February 9, 2025 will significantly contribute to the deepening of the Nation’s historical turnaround. Then the return to full identity will begin, even in the way of living, it will become almost defining the century of the Albanians – a Biedermeier of the era that will remake the Albanians and Albania.
In this pre-campaign and throughout the official campaign, if the progressive nationalists, as I currently want to call the Albanian social democrats, should clearly address the anger and polarization in Kosovo and in the Albanian space, emphasizing the role that VV’s next convincing victory will have for the perspective of Freedom and its expansion. They, making it clear to every citizen what has brought us to this unstable historical situation: about 70 percent of Albanians already believe that the leadership of the opposition in Kosovo and the political leadership of political Albania do not care at all about the lives of citizens ordinary Albanians, therefore they think that this group of politicians cannot significantly influence the dynamics that determine their lives and that of the Republic, therefore the economic development and the fate of the north of Kosovo is precisely related to the result of these elections.
This fact is a clear signal for the intervention of the compliant growth policy of the economy in the meantime, injecting into the purchasing power of the citizen, which means the increase of wages in vital sectors.
This step in the sphere of social policies and the distribution of material goods should continue with the maintenance of low unemployment figures, the stable growth of employment along with the economic growth – these four years of VV’s government that prove significant success in these areas according to the standards of the time. However, inflation plays such a big role for the electorate that most people don’t think much of the prime minister’s economic policy. Many voters experience rising prices as an attack on their power to legitimately bleed for progress or to maintain the standard of living they have achieved in the meantime. Therefore, the topic of economy and well-being should occupy a good place in the campaign, clearly explaining the near perspective of the Republic in this area.
In foreign policy, the government’s achievements are evident, but very little displayed. It is very important to emphasize the position of Kosovo, not only in the dialogue with Serbia, but first of all the image it has today in the field of international relations.
The Republic of Kosovo is the first time in its modern history that it cultivates healthy relations of reciprocity in the relations with our partners, but also with the neighbors, therefore also with Serbia. This report is built on the principle of reciprocity, which has been the cornerstone of modern interstate relations since the Congress of Westphalia. These relations are subject to state interest, state reason.
Our real friends, those who helped Kosovo during the war and are still supporting it today in the process of state building and full functioning of the Republic, especially in the field of security and relations with Serbia, are those who have established and cultivated these relations following also consider their national interests. These interests, over time, can even change position. The history of our relations with Great Britain best explains this phenomenon, respectively this possible oscillation.
Meanwhile, Kosovo is recognized by 117 countries, members of the UN. In the process of dialogue with Serbia, treated badly by the EU, but also by the political leadership until 2020, Kosovo has gradually turned into an internal issue of Serbia!
In the current vocabulary of our opposition and the media that are serving it as a broken speaker, this irrational and anti-historical position has gained some kind of support even from the decision-making centers!
In the meantime, “whoever dares to take Kosovo out of Serbia, where he assigned its place on February 17, 2008, is demonized, blackmailed and declared nothing less than anti-American”[1] rightly states the well-known publicist from Skopje, Emin Azemi.
This type of non-existent anti-Americanism, which serves for internal consumption and atypical deception of opinion, is surprisingly not tested in Washington, but in Belgrade (!)” concludes publicist Azemi rightly.[2]
Opinion urgently needs our media, progressive nationalist intellectuals, to shed light on how this discourse was created, who are the ones who initiated and are continuing to feed this discourse?
This phenomenon must be clearly explained, especially in this pre-field period.
Exhaustive explanations regarding this phenomenon will help the public to better understand the source of this discourse and the reasons why........
