No words, no meetings, no signs of cooperation; Greece turns its back on Edi Rama at the EU Summit, while preparing a new political offensive in Tirana...
Not a last-minute development, but a deliberate exception. Greece is ending cooperation with Rama and is preparing a new, externally controlled opposition. Edi Rama understands this, so he bows to Meloni.
At the EU Summit in Tirana, an important person was absent: Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. And his absence was neither technical nor accidental. It was politically intentional. But immediately after this apparent absence, the media close to Edi Rama, led by Baton Haxhiu, mobilized for a quick alibi, declaring that Mitsotakis had a last-minute commitment at the UN, as head of the Security Council.
But the truth is different. The official EU portal had long published the list of state representatives. And for Greece, it was not Mitsotakis who was planned, but the President of the Republic, Konstantinos Tasoulas, a protocol figure, who did not hold any real political meetings in Tirana, and who in the family photo was placed in the third row, not to say in the margin.
This demonstrative absence is not just a cold shoulder. It is a sign. And the signal is clear: Greece no longer recognizes Rama as a reliable partner. The relationship, which deteriorated after the arrest of Fredi Beleri, the political undoing of Vangjel Dule and the closing of any door for Athens-Tirana mediation, has entered the phase of actions.
In the background is a plan that has already surfaced. Fredi Beleri, after the elections, called for the removal of Sali Berisha and the reformation of the opposition. But the message was deeper: Athens is preparing to build its own Albanian opposition, to check any counterweight to Rama.
This is not just rhetoric. At one of the recent DP rallies, a Beleri supporter gave Chris La Civita a T-shirt with the Greek flag and the inscription “Albania Majeshtore”. The message was clear: La Civita is not an advisor to Berisha, but a product of the Greek lobby. And if that is the case, then we are no longer dealing with a political competition, but with a geopolitical clash controlled from abroad.
Diplomatic sources confirm that a concrete plan has been put in place to produce a new opposition leader, with support from Greece and Europe. One name that is often mentioned is Indrit Nina, a figure promoted by diplomatic circles and linked to representing the Greek line in Albania.
If this plan comes to light, then Berisha will be declared spent, and La Civita a transitional movement. Meanwhile, SPAK will be pressured to open a criminal case against Rama, putting the country in the face of an externally managed crisis that would justify early elections in the fall.
Even Rama's statement about the "Italian protectorate" was not unconscious. It was a jab at Greece and an open humiliation towards Giorgia Meloni, the only one who has defended Rama in Brussels after the attacks on the Beleri affair.
But this defense by Meloni is limited, and Athens is already playing plan B: redesigning the opposition, capturing the new leadership dome and creating an external diplomatic front for Rama's political overthrow.
The case is serious, because Greece has more instruments than any other actor in the region: influence on minority communities, influence on the media, access to the EU diplomatic system and, according to information, strong connections in certain segments of the Albanian judiciary.
Therefore, Mitsotakis' absence from the Summit was a silent declaration of political war against Rama. It was not a lack of agenda, but a lack of respect. And, perhaps, the beginning of a new intervention in the internal structure of the Albanian opposition./ Pamphlet
