Rama is aware that besides forming a state, he is also shaping a model. "Do you see how easily the association is formed, Albin? Association, say the state?
It is unclear whose project Edi Rama is implementing. By announcing it in 'The New York Times', it obviously wants to give the idea that it is a global project, sponsored by the USA. From this prestigious medium, everyone learned about the project, including "Baba Mondi" and his administration of the global Bektashis. Having already resolved the disagreement with the President of Turkey regarding the leadership of the Albanian Muslim Community, handing over power to him, this new idea of Ed's opened many debates. I gave you the local Islam, but I took the global one, as Edi says to Taipi. Eddie doesn't see things narrowly. One thing is certain: the word strayed again to heaven, and earth's troubles can wait.
Here, it happened that a religious community got its own state, without asking for it at all, even if it was a ceremonial state, with a sovereignty over a total of 11 hectares. Baba Mondi expressed himself as the most surprised of all. According to the old saying that "the teeth of a forgiven donkey cannot be seen", he of course accepted the gift, still not being clear about what it was about. But Rama is aware that besides forming a state, he is also shaping a model. "Do you see how easily the association is formed, Albin? Association, say the state?
Given that the Serbian Orthodox Church has requested extra-territoriality for its churches and monasteries in Kosovo and Edi Rama has requested Kosovo to fulfill its obligations to the Brussels Agreement, this idea of a Muslim "Vatican" can also be one of his benevolent efforts to help the Prime Minister of Kosovo in "normalizing relations with Serbia". Driven by this idea, KOS may seek a state between Pristina, Peja, or Prizren, in its 24 hectares. It's not that Edi reminded them, but his idea of the "Vatican" in Tirana can make the Serbian demand seem legitimate and the Kosovo policy seem rigid.
Hand on heart, the Bektashi, as an order of dervishes, have enjoyed respect and played a role in the history of the national awakening of Albanians. Thanks to this, this organization is powerful among Albanians, and it is the only one that has not yet made an effort to subordinate the Albanian national idea to powerful Islamic ideological and financial centers, as some other lines are acting in re-education efforts social and political, respectively of the a-culturation of the Albanians.
The question that naturally arises is "When Edi can, why not Albini?" When Albania wins, why can't Kosovo? Edi has opened his heart, he is making it a state, at the head of which will be the head of an Albanian dervish, but later, when Edi is no longer prime minister, the Bektashi "Pope" may no longer be Albanian, even state administration, so the Government in Tirana will no longer be able to control its own "Vatican". In Serbia, under the auspices of Ed's friend, Aleksandër Vucic has started a movement for the Albanians to declare themselves as Muslims and to make the Presheva Valley like Sanjak, where the descendants of the former Albanians with white pleats, now declare themselves as Muslims.
The problem is that the "state" of the Bektashi will be the model, maybe. Lebanon used to be a state with a Christian majority, but as a result of the influx of many refugees, Palestinians and Shiites, today it has become a state dominated by religions, mainly Muslim, and where the power structure follows the structure of religious representation. Thus Albania, with the influx of refugees, considering the current number of the population, for a short time risks that the Albanians will be a minority and... not recognize themselves. Let alone, Edi has taken us by surprise again.
With the refugee agreements and Ed's "geopolitical" compromises, the borders of Euro-Asia have reached Durres, instead of being at the Bosphorus where they were before the Turkish dam built with the EU-Turkey flow management agreement burst. of Syrian refugees.
While the war in Ukraine is setting the border between Europe and Eurasia and it still remains unclear where it will be, it remains equally unclear where this border will be in the Balkans? In the Bosphorus or in the Adriatic, or perhaps in the Caspian? Or could it happen, one part of Tirana is declared Europe, the other Asia? Sounds like Black Humor?
Like everything until today, even the formation of states, even ceremonial ones, is not a matter of wishful thinking. Civilizations are already colliding in the Albanian neighborhood, powerless to dictate the direction. The Islamic "Vatican" may be an attempt to take part in this tollovi, but it may also be another Ed's disposable media game. It could also be a commodity that he has undertaken to sell...
What about the state of the "Bektashi"? 'If you cry, you will bow', say the people!/ Pamphlet
