This vacuum in the opposition is fertile ground for any strategist to build and support a leadership that, in the end, at least, will have no opponents.
A week ago, Sali Berisha's lawyer, Genc Gjokutaj, released a harsh message on his social network, where he spoke of a "face-to-face" clash, not at a distance or online.
Everyone who has commented on this development, quite interesting and sensational, has likely made a mistake in decoding the message, which seemed thoughtful and had a different address. But what did lawyer Genc Gjokutaj write in his post?
"Today, the former enemies of the DP, "repentant" but paid yesterday and today by Rama & Co., are preparing to re-establish the DP and Berisha! Some of them are also DP MPs, tomorrow cloned by Rama. They are shown by name and surname, so the battle with them today is fiercer because it will be fought physically and not online like yesterday! We cannot remove our savior, but the assassins against him! Be they men, women, gays or lesbians! War is declared! Bujrum!".
This was the message, and based on the comments made, the address was to a small number of names that could attempt to overthrow the doctor, so his people have declared war on him. But who are these, because apart from Alesia Balliu, Dash Sula and Flutura Açka, no one has spoken, but all three are outside the DP.
If there was one person who spoke out first and only after the "magnificent" defeat of the DP on May 11th by the doctor's entourage, it was Fredi Beleri. He bluntly said that Berisha should resign and pave the way for a new opposition political project.
A project that seems, as has often happened here, but also in other countries in the region, to have had the influence and intervention of Greek circles.
From 1992 until today, political circles, but also those of the parapolitical or so-called "deep state", have had their role both in Tirana and in Skopje, where they were strongly invested in a prime minister who made the pact of the century with them, such as Zoran Zaev.
Who, when they removed him, blamed the Americans and Albanians, bringing back to the scene the nationalists of VRMO, which still has fresh traces of the Russian and Serbian secret services. Mentioned by name and surname by Ali Ahmeti, who before the last elections mentioned by code, the pseudonyms of the opposition leaders who later took power.
Vojislav Seselj, the Serbian radical leader and head of Moscow's proxy paramilitaries in the wars of the former Yugoslavia, was the most important political figure of the pro-Russian wing in Serbia.
The surrender of Slobodan Milosevic to The Hague by the courageous Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic, who was leading the country towards the West, resulted in his assassination by circles connected to Moscow and its proxies in the region.
Then the butcher Arkan was killed, and pro-Western actors took over the country. To fill the nationalist vacuum, it was diplomatic moves that washed hands of the old Seselj, who had used Tomislav Nikolic and Aleksandar Vučić as waiters.
But it was precisely these two who one day took over the majority of the Serbian Radical Party, joined forces with Milosevic's wife's pro-Russians, like his secretary Vulin, and created the SNS-the Serbian Progressive Party. Which has been in power uninterruptedly since 2012. As a result of a coalition between pro-Russians attached like Vulin, Dacic, or a wrestler playing with two goals like Vucic.
A similar scheme was used to overthrow Milo Djukanovic in 2020, by the “Albanian Chetnik”, Dritan Abazovic. When he became prime minister, he blocked the visit to Belgrade of Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, closing Montenegrin airspace.
A strong political act that cost him his career and ousted Dritan from the post of Prime Minister. Today, in power in Podgorica, there are some young men educated in the West, but who have a close relationship with both Belgrade and the people of Moscow, who have put them in charge of the Parliament.
All these movements in the region have happened over the years, as a clash of interests or appetites, which have strategic plans behind them made by serious states. Be they big or small powers. This is ultimately politics.
Sali Berisha brought Athens to the candidacy of Fredi Beleri, precisely to save him from international isolation, and to influence the lobbying for the removal of Non Grata. Something that did not happen and cannot happen in the future. Therefore, rightly, those factors that supported him, do not have to give up on their plans, even though they had an "Olympic" failure or a "checkmate" by their opponent, Edi Rama.
Even with the statement of the former well-known American diplomat in the Balkans, Philip Ricker, that the US will be less and less involved in the region, it creates more opportunities for other actors, who will naturally fill the vacuum and strengthen their influence in Tirana's politics.
This vacuum in the opposition is fertile ground for any strategist to build and support a leadership that, in the end, at least, will have no opponents.
Sali Berisha understands this game better than others, as he himself has been in the thick of such alliances and movements with important circles. But he has made it known to the actors within the DP that whoever becomes part of the "Brutus gang" will be attacked "physically", not simply online. Does Beleri also enter this group, which lawyer Gjokutaj spoke about a week ago. The chances are that yes, however, the list seems even longer...
