Two moments of Rama

Two moments of Rama

Why are they important promise Edi Rama institutional aid from Albania DokuFest Festival and the appointment of his adviser Maliq Shkëlzen regional issues ?

By Imer Mushkolaj

Rama may not sound like Berisha patriotic when talking about Kosovo , but that does not mean he has not already started to take actions that improve communication between the two countries .

His visit to Prizren without pomp and fanfare , promise to help institutional DokuFest festival , as well as the promise of a joint annual calendar of cultural events between Kosovo and Albania , marking a new milestone in inter- relations field .

Meanwhile , a milestone also marks the appointment of Rama Shkëlzen Maliq advisor to regional issues .

DokuFest Festival is the biggest event of Albanian cultural event that crosses the region . As such , he had to weather have already promised support from Rama , however , much greater support from the Government of Kosovo . Not to mention the Municipality of Prizren , whose leaders seem to not understand or do not want to understand what it means that an event like DokuFest'i be organized in their city .

Meanwhile , with the promise to create a shared calendar of cultural events between the two countries , Rama did nothing but warned the realization of a project that was supposed to happen weather - without letting cultural integration in the hands of different clans , even cultural extortionists who , on behalf of certain cultural unity , benefiting more than the citizens themselves driven up and down the border .

Those who may have reservations or are against this project can do so only because irrational tightly . It is different to the improvised cultural cooperation proved to be realized ad hoc , and otherwise when everything is put in practical terms , institutional and interstate . It remains to be seen Rama's next moves in this direction .

I have read and I read ç'nuk recent appointment of Maliq Shkëlzen Edi Rama adviser . The overwhelming majority of those commenting are not written to take action Rama , as taken with the person and personality of Maliq . Moreover , with his father .

Charges and among the most banal settings are said to continue to speak of the written Maliqi , overshadowed by the act of his appointment .

But beyond rhetoric dry and has no rational to convey this decision to Rama , Maliq choice for advisor should be seen as a special moment in the way of doing politics the new Albanian prime minister and his relationship with Kosovo .

Rama probably could have picked someone else instead of Maliq . But whoever he was, nor the name of his personality would never had become more important than the idea and act on Kosovo 's appointment to the post of advisor , respectively 's involvement in decision-making and consultation within the Albanian government .

Sali Berisha , during eight years in office , he could quite easily that any Kosovar personality wanting to formalize them somewhere in the cabinet . But it seems that the first path has Kosovars to exalt his rhetoric folkloriko / patriotic , while informal advisers to choose other - non-Albanians .

Maliqi philosopher , publisher and activist can not be liked by many, for one reason or another . Perhaps , someone can not agree with his choice of supporting a political option or with his analysis . One may also laid great for his action . But , at least , no one can deny , as a colleague of mine said on Facebook , engage in the cultivation of philosophical , political and cultural in our area so poor . Neither the civilian political experience and intellectual engagement .

Sali Berisha preferred not to take action , such as Rama , in view of the approaching political and cultural integration or inter . But it seems that over the last days in power will use to fulfill a desire to recent Democratic League of Kosovo . Officials Youth Forum of the party visited Tirana and asked him to help Albania to honor with honors " 13 eminent personalities , thinkers together and close associates of President of the Republic of Kosovo historic Ibrahim Rugova " .

As the years relations with Kosovo and Kosovars has built on the metaphor of folk symbolism , as it seems that would end his power - by intervening award honors.

I know , Edi Rama will continue to sound for many at great though Goran Bregovic'it gave Key of Tirana . He also will continue to be criticized and attacked . But he has the chance to prove that relations with Kosovo and Kosovars should not remain hostage to that action , but they have built with concrete actions that do not show subservience of patronage , but realism and rationality .

Rama has the opportunity to show , first , in relation to Kosovo normal . Moments like these make it.
