The new US ambassador to our country, David J. Kostelancik, seems to have to wait a little longer to arrive in Tirana. Although Yuri Kim left, leaving the position vacant, it appears that the duties have been taken over by the US envoy to the country, Deputy Ambassador Martin McDowell.
But why is the arrival of Ambassador David J. Kostelancik delayed? He is seen as a very strong figure who has worried the corrupt in Tirana, who seem to be sleeping soundly for a few weeks or months.
"Washington Post" writes that the clashes between Republicans and Democrats have blocked hundreds of appointments in the administration, including 22 ambassadors, where the name that will come to Tirana is on the list. Republicans are not convinced about the names that the Biden administration has sent and are creating problems.
According to the American newspaper, the Senate has blocked 301 appointments in various positions in the military alone. " At least half a dozen senators are blocking nominees for positions across the administration — including but not limited to the Department of Justice, the Department of State, the Department of Commerce, the Department of Defense, the Department of Veterans Affairs, the National Institutes of Health and the Environmental Protection Agency. Senators are blocking the process for various reasons. Sometimes they have to do with the nominee, but more often they don't ," the American media points out.
According to her, critics admit that blocking nominees is a useful tactic to reach a political agreement. But according to them, blocking such a large number of functionaries would create problems. "Washington Post" writes that such maneuvers have created gaps at the diplomatic level as well.
Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) Vance is also keeping State Department nominees, including 22 ambassadors, blocked until he confirms they won't implement "woke" policies. He sent a questionnaire to all ambassadorial nominees, Joe Gould and Nahal Toosi of Politico reported last week ," the American newspaper writes.
" We're asking people questions, trying to understand the statements they've made, the things they've done. And if we think their answers are satisfactory, then we'll approve them. And if we don't, neither will we." we don't ," said Vance.
So it seems that the impasse as to why the nominee for Tirana has not yet taken office is the political conflict in the Senate. David J. Kostelancik appeared in a hearing, where he presented the anti-corruption fight as a priority. But the Senate has not yet approved the candidacy of President Biden. It remains to be seen what September will bring, as senators are currently on vacation.
This means that the corrupt politics of Tirana will breathe freely and for some time. He is seen as a stronger figure than Yuri Kim and it is expected that during the 3 years in Tirana, there will be a new surge in the fight against the "mammoths of corruption". / Pamphlet
