Edi was right this time, he cut us off. Next time we should consider where we belong.
A cousin of mine, half a century ago, wrote a novel with a similar title. He said, “Goethe was right.” He didn’t have it with Ed, but he did with Albanians.
At that time, in the 1970s, "hermeticism" flourished in literature in Kosovo, while the writers of socialist Albania were realists... socialists.
The truth was that neither in Kosovo nor in Albania could you say whatever you wanted, let alone do it.
In Albania, realism was considered when you wrote as the party wanted.
Comrade Edi said something, write what he said. Comrade Edi was responsible, not the writer. Quote the party and Edi, everything was fine with your art. But, Edi at that time had the name Enver, while this Edi of today continues to remain a socialist and ...realist.
Edi appears innocent, because that's how he is. He had neither chosen the time nor the place where he would be born. When the gates opened, he fled like all Albanians, shaved to the skin by proletarian justice.
Lutfi, this cousin, did not run away, even though at that time in Kosovo we had cars, but we did not have freedom. In Albania, freedom was won, but there were no cars. Each has his own problems.
At that time in Kosovo you could speak with metaphors, it was enough not to mention by name, Enver's former sworn (enemy) friend, Tito. He stayed in Kosovo and, together with an entire generation of writers, wrote things that no one understood. Perhaps even the critics, who called that movement hermetic, had no idea what they were saying, but they were different and at that time it was enough to be different. More or less like Ed's art. No one understands it exactly, but "Art for art's sake" as they say. Now Ed said "sport for sport's sake", "so "no provocations"...
But hermetic novels had powerful titles. They made you think about what the author wanted to say. So, was he right or not, Goethe. He was right or not, but to this day I still don't understand who Lutfi was talking about. For Edin? Maybe for Edin too. Of course, you have another novel with the title "Too Serious" it wasn't for Edin. Maybe for Albin? Goethe aside, for today's topic, Edin is clear, Albin is confused.
Edi is right when he stops the march of "Red and Black" fans with military flags, war flags. Of course, he didn't have to stop the Kosovo flags, since Kosovo is a country recognized by Edi, but... it was just football.
Edi was indeed a child of the dictatorship, but he started democracy together with Saliu and a few others. However they started it… they started it and are still rocking it in its cradle, the baby called democracy. They call a thirty-something boy or girl a baby, but some “fragile things” cannot be raised by the sound of drums or war trumpets.
Thus, Edi stopped the continuation of the political war between Kosovo and Serbia at the football stadium in Tirana. If the "Red and Black" fans did anything wrong, they would not only lose points but also be punished by FIFA.
We may not be socialists but we have to be realistic... the Serbs in Tirana did not bring the police or the army, they brought some footballers who are not who knows what and nowhere else do they get so much attention. Nowhere have they felt as important as in Tirana. Many of them may have been born at the time when Serbia was committing crimes in Kosovo. Meanwhile, in their country, the medieval state is shaking its knees before the students who gave a bad grade to Ed's friend (or was it brother), there is no need for us to get in their way with our inarticulate noise.
So, Edi was right. Fans from Kosovo cannot dictate the image of the "Red and Black" fandom. Even if we are noisier, or more modern, in the stadiums of the world where the Albanian national team plays, we must understand that it represents sports fandom, not political, and political theater does not give honor to a sports performance. Even if you curse, depending on your preferences, with your mother or father, a Serbian footballer who played harshly, or played beautifully, no one would be offended. It's just sport. But, let alone, goals are not scored with curses, nor are political battles won in football stadiums.
So, Edi was right this time, that he cut us off. Next time we should consider where we belong. If we have to play with the Serbs directly at the "Fadil Vokrri" stadium, Edi should not come dressed in red and black. The Dardanians from Tirana should come with Kosovo flags. Kosovo also has a national team.
Then, who knows, a Kosovo Serb could play for the Kosovo national team tomorrow, who would stop him? And why would they stop him? Just don't score an own goal...
Then, Edi, prone to secret agreements, may have made a secret agreement with the "Dardans! He knows Kosovo, he also knows the Kosovo national team. What about us? / Pamphlet
