The mission of “fleeing” (Tribuna)
Editor Agron Halitaj argues in his opinion piece that “it is fortunate that, 500 or more persons who are fleeing Kosovo daily are showing that they love their country although they are leaving. 50,000 persons, who according to official statistics have fled Kosovo last year and this year, chose not to damage their state, because if they were to go out and protest no one would be able to predict the consequences. But they don’t want to do that. They only want well-being. Nothing more and nothing less. In this respect, it wouldn’t be a shame for local political leaders, both in government and the opposition, to call on respective countries to treat Albanian asylum-seekers with dignity … It is unreasonable that the leaders of the two parties that will govern the country in the next four years remain indifferent toward the exodus of those who voted for them. Both leaders keep talking about Kosovo’s European prospect, but there can be no bright future as long as people flee the country in large numbers.”
