Can Kosovo learn from Ukraine? (Koha Ditore)
Columnist Enver Robelli writes that many politicians in Ukraine today regret the decision (mediated by the international community) to hand over the nuclear weapons stationed there to the Moscow authorities in condition for Russia to accept and guarantee Ukraine’s independence, right after the disintegration of Soviet Union. There are many other issues that the Ukrainian politicians regret today: they lost more than twenty years in corruption affairs, bad governing, lack of strategy to consolidate the state, therefore, in 2014, they are on the verge of collapse, abyss. Ukrainian politicians resemble those of Kosovo, who burned their greatest chance for progress due to their greediness for theft, hatred of freedom, mental and social primitivism.
Should Kosovo learn something from the dramatic developments there? It should. Almost a year passed since a Lithuanian customs officer who worked for EU mission in Kosovo was killed. He came from an EU country which was under the ruling of the Soviet Union for half a century. His murder by Serb terrorists was Russia’s message against Western Europe and its values. But what message are Albanians in Balkans sending to Europe with their war for more power, lack of any principle, continuous corruption, relaxing in the role of a victim, and expectation for all problems to be solved themselves or by “our international friends,” or by the Constitutional Court. At a very significant historical moment in the world, Albanians have not elected qualitative politicians, but psychopaths, murderers, drug dealers and pseudo-historians. Under these circumstances, Albanians do not even notice the big game in Ukraine and around it. The essential thing remains the battle for power without democracy,” writes Robelli.
