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.
