Unlike 1996-1997, when Berisha wanted to imitate the Belgrade protests in Pristina, to get rid of the protests that were brewing in Tirana, today he can't deal with either the protesters or their enemies in Belgrade and Bucharest.
In 1996, almost 30 years ago, students in Belgrade shocked the Milosevic regime with massive protests. Sali Berisha, who was in a deep crisis with the United States after the manipulation of the May 1996 elections and completely isolated from them, was looking for a way to divert US attention from him. And he began a campaign to force Kosovo to support the student protests in Serbia.
He was so persistent on this point that when he saw that Ibrahim Rugova completely ignored him, he called Adem Demaçi to Tirana and convinced him to declare support for the protests in Belgrade as a salvation for Kosovo. So, in his mind, he would now solve the Kosovo problem by “democratizing” Serbia.
Thus, he thought he was in line with the West, which supported the protests and eliminated Ibrahim Rugova's rebellious leadership towards him, shifting attention from the lack of democracy in Albania to the lack of democracy in Serbia, of which he now considered Kosovo politically a part.
The scheme did not work, even though he persisted endlessly until early 1997, then becoming involved in organizing protests by Kosovo students against Rugova.
At the time, the protesters had strong Western support, but within Serbia they had little hope of overthrowing the regime through democratic means.
Unlike 1996-1997, when Berisha wanted to imitate the Belgrade protests in Pristina, to get rid of the protests that were brewing in Tirana, today he can't deal with either the protesters or their enemies in Belgrade and Bucharest.
Tonight is a reversed panorama. Students have raised Serbia to its feet against Vučić, but unfortunately the West and mainly the USA are with Vučić, although the protest is clearly serious against him. Even President Trump's son criticized Bill Clinton's bombing of Serbia, calling it an attempt to cover up scandals in private life.
On the same day, in Romania, supporters of the Russian-influenced presidential candidate are on the streets, among other things, as fans of his TikTok. There, unlike in Serbia, the world is divided. Europe is against him, while the new US leadership is for him.
In Tirana, Sali Berisha has come out with about a thousand supporters, mostly elderly people, to lament the plight of young people who will be closed down from TikTok, but do not know what to do with their protest.
While in Serbia the people are against the government, but the West is unfortunately with the government; in Romania Europe is against the protesters and the US is for them; in Albania, neither the people, nor Europe, nor the US are with Berisha.
Let's wait and see what LaCivita has to say about this case. That recommendation for the alliance with Gjuzi was very good.
