Qos: LDK's PDK should go into opposition, Vetevendosje to govern country

1. Professor Qosja, we are restarting this conversation at the start of a new political season. Three months ago, parliamentary elections were held in both Kosovo and Albania, for which you had your expectations?
The parliamentary elections in Albania and in Kosovo were partly são, somewhere were in accordance with my predictions. I was convinced that the Socialist Party would win Albania, but I had not expected it to win that high.
The opposition Kosovo Democratic League of Kosovo and the Democratic Party of Kosovo should remain. And they would have to remain in the opposition because of all the unwanted, unacceptable, evil that had happened in Kosovo during their power. But that is not what happened.

2. In Kosovo, surprise was support and votes for Vetevendosje, which entered the elections alone and won more votes than the pre-election coalitions that were created. However, that victory did not give Vetevendosje the chance to govern. New post-election alliances were created, and we now have a paradoxically another government. Can we view this as a differentness of the will of the yokeers?
I think Vetevendosje lost the chance to govern after the big, important and indication of the will of the electors in Kosovo because of some unreasonable provisions from other allies and due to some reasonable disagreement with coalition allies.

3. Has Belgrade's stance on Kosovo's new political map affected?
It cannot be said that Belgrade's positions are completely uninflicted on Kosovo's political map. In Kosovo are some Serbian political parties, which, when you love them, join around a party called the Serbian List. And, this party of Serbs enjoys the support of several international factors in the first place why very privileged treatment has been created in “Ahtisaari's” constitution, far more privileged than all ethnic minorities in Europe! And this party of Serbs in Kosovo today can play a role in forming governments and can play a role in the collapse of governments in Kosovo! It cannot be said that this party played a role in the establishment of Ramush Haradinaj's government on 7 September this year.
I in no case am without political and social commitment to Ramush Haradinaj. I have written and published two reactions for him until he was stopped by the Court in France; I have written about him before. Ramush Haradinaj and his family had to endure much pain during the war, and much injustice and much pain after the war. But, I do not consider myself unhappy, not why Ramush Haradinaj became prime minister, but why he became prime minister of this government after three months of procrastination of coalitions for the establishment of the Parliament and Government and why he became what he became like. Ramush Haradinaj was actually handed to those who would have to remain in opposition longer than the LDK and the PDK. I say so because I think Ramush Haradinaj, as an authoritative figure not only in this government but in Kosovo in general, inevitably has two serious challenges for setting up: setting up the border line with Montenegro and establishing the Community of Serbian Communities. And these two challenges could become the reason for Ramush Haradinaj to lose political prestige or lose the government. For his sake, I'd like to lose the second, not the first.

And in Kosovo, what are government priorities Haradinaj's priorities in Kosovo?

Apart from the main tasks of Edi Rama's Government in Albania, ahead of Ramush Haradinaj's government stand a host of other very important tasks. Here are some of them. First, order, discipline, commitment to the state institutions, and this means commitment to the people and the state; the use and abuse of journalists must be denied in succession, when and when introduced into parties and state institutions, in order to persecute non-recognition and critics of evil in those institutions; the use and abuse of journalists should be prohibited; the use of journalists in other countries, when and when introduced into parties and state institutions; the state must determine the foundations of society and critics in those institutions of the state; the government must be determined by the state; the evil state or social state, as they say, other institutions in their countries should, what nationals are happening with what they call citizens; the state needs to ensure that the state's pre-definance of justice; and the political institutions must be co-capical and the rule; and the government should be subjected to humanities of the rule; and the government should be effectively, the public and the government; and the government should be deemed by the government; and the public and the government should be subjected to the government; and the government; and the rule of the public, the public, the public, the public, the public, the public, And more. And more.

8. Professor, a deep reform at the Albanian Academy of Sciences has long been being discussed. Serious scientists and researchers, such as Jevat Lloyd, Pellumb Jufi, Pascal Milo, Fatos Tarifa, and others, agree that with the 2006-2007 reform under the Berisha government, the Academy received a serious blow that atrophied its work. They have indicated that this academy must be abolished and reformed with foundation. Have you, as an academy, felt the need for this reform?
Before answering your question, I consider it necessary to say that during the last quarter of the scientific creativity, scientific researchers and intellectuals in general have been marginally ignored since Albania has become a state and since Kosovo has become autonomy. As it is known, scientific research and culture in Albania and Kosovo are generally supported financially by the state less than in any country in the region and beyond. This situation does not speak well of our state institutions, but this situation does not speak well of the creators! I say so because the creators have had to raise their voices separately, to protect spiritual creativity from the unprecedented disregard it was made to the rulers, to raise their voices so conscious that by defending spiritual creativity they are protecting the most important values of their people, are protecting their cultural dignity and national identity. Yeah, I'll go back to your question.
According to my belief, what the Albanian Government did in 2006-2007 with the Academy of Sciences of Albania and in general with scientific institutions cannot be called reform and cannot be called reform because the impact of those done in them was disparagement, much more visible than organising, regulatory, creative! In fact, the purpose of that intervention, to call it, at the Academy of Sciences, was not any reform for the benefit of scientific activity, but the absorption and political use of that academy for the Democratic Party and its party allies, through the introduction of the academy of about twenty makers of different fields, nearly all members or supporters of the democratic Party. There is no doubt that this intervention left consequences both in life and in its scientific and professional activity in general. It may be that one of the consequences of this intervention -- that is, of such politicisation of the Albanian Academy of Sciences -- is the refusal of some of the most prominent Albanian scholars today. I, myself, but not just me, cannot understand why this academy allows itself to be without having the best Albanian historians in its ranks today, Pellumb Jufin, Pascal Milon and prominent archaeologist Neritan Ceka. I, myself, cannot understand why this academy allows itself to be without having in its ranks prominent languagemakers Jevat Lloyd, Seth Manscu and Emil Lafen, who, along with some other prominent and well-deserved scholars, have borne the burden of developing Albanian science and education over 5-6 decades. I, myself, cannot understand why this academy allows itself without having it among its members as well as a scientific and intellectual scholar like Nelson Cabebe, who by his ideas would, with his knowledge, greatly influence the modernisation of the Academy's activities.
With the current scriptures and debates almost launched efforts to reform the Albanian Academy of Sciences. And they began, as it was seen, after Prime Minister Edi Rama firmly expressed himself with his government.
Evidently heavier than at the Albanian Academy is the situation at the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts. As far as the Albanian Academy acts and influence two political wings, we have only one arm, only one party. The Kosovo Academy is fully occupied by people of a Democratic League of Kosovo party. Imagine how tragic, how ridiculous, how primitive the situation in this academy is: it was introduced as they were in party or administrative positions and the chairman, and the LDK deputy chairman, and the heads of the LDK's two satellite parties, and seven members of the headship and the LDK General Council. In short, Albanian: the whole leadership of the Democratic League of Kosovo has been introduced at the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts. And, to be the situation even more tragic, even more ridiculous: this academy was conducted by two members of the LDK General Council, a member of the LDK's leadership and two heads of two LDK satellite parties! I mean A SHAK is running it, actually using and disuse it, as the LDK leadership would have been around twenty years. To be that even more meaningless and punishable situation, no Kosovo state institution, not even the funder of the Kosovo Academy ♫ The Kosovo Parliament does not speak up about this anti-democratic, anticultural situation and, why not, antinational. Not a few scriptures with which this situation is broken have been written, many intimate conversations have developed against this situation, and it has been written a petition addressed to the Parliament and the Government, but that the S·geʹ have considered necessary either to respond in a word or to the petition signatories!
The Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts has thus been usurped by the LDK and the usurpers who perform its punishable affairs in it!
And because it's been this way usurped for years, the acceptance of some of Kosovo's most deserved scholars and writers has been rejected in this academy: Ramiz Kelmendi, of Diin Mehmet, of Ymer Jaka, of Shefki Sejdiu, of Agim Vinca, of Shefkiye Islamaj, of Kemal Murat, of historians Zekia Cana and Jahja Drancholl, and has been accepted by only the discreet author, whose doctorate has been admitted to be plagiature, and authors have been admitted that as scientific “pras” have presented the university design!
Partial and tribal usurpation is the reason why in the Law for the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts, worked at the Academy, accepted, without any public discussion, by the Parliament of Kosovo, the Law for Conflict of Interest has been ignored, and therefore has become impossible to accept into the Academy of those who have turned 65 years, namely, of creators at the best age of scientific creativity.
The party and tribal usurpation is the reason why the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts law speaks of its co-operation with the academys of countries and countries of the world, but by no means is mentioned by the Academy of Sciences of Albania, almost the Kosovo Academy should co-operate with the Albanian Academy only so much and only as co-operate with the academys of other states even the Academy of Republika Srpska.
Partial and tribal usurpation is why in A SHAK officials are admitted to high political and state positions, one of whom is the chairman of Pristina and LDK admitted to the academy while in those positions, the other being minister and so on! That's what neofashism at scientific institutions today is bringing Europe alone A SHAK!
There is no doubt that the two Albanian academia are not filling it now, and how long, especially from the 1990s onward, their mission, which they have established. And their mission is not only scientific; their mission is both cultural and national.
They have forgotten that with their ideas, with their opinions, their judgments should influence the overall cultural growth of their people.
They have forgotten that without this cultural growth no people can develop, they cannot progress in material views.
They have forgotten that without this overall cultural growth, no country can take the turn of developed countries.
They, our two academys, have forgotten much else: they have particularly forgotten that with the knowledge of their members, with the culture and accountability of their members, they should resist evil, privileges, extortion, illegal enrichment, disfigurement of all sorts of political oligarchy, not becoming, like some of their members, under their backs!
They have forgotten that being a scientist, being creative, means being imminent homeland, and having the obligation to counterfocus all those thoughts, ideas, and political activities that violate homelandism.
They have forgotten that there are two academias of one people, a people with one story, a language, a culture, a tradition, so their primary mission is to combine creative gifts for study to the best, the more complete, the more objective, the more comprehensive all of those in common.
They have forgotten, so to create common structures for joint planning and joint studies.
They have forgotten, therefore, what it took and what they should think: to think of the creation of an Albanian International Academy, in which the national ideal of the Albanian future would be maintained.
They, our two academies, have forgotten that any financed in either socialism or capitalism should account for the use of financial funds before the state institution that finances it.

9. However, elections at the Academy took place in recent days, and Prime Minister Rama considered the farce and warned of disruption of funds... Is this a crossroads for our Academy of Sciences?
The elections at the academy, the election of academic Gudar Beqiw its chairman, even though it had been its chairman in line a mandate and vice president before this mandate, the resignation of the deputy chairman, the most prominent Albanian archaeologist, Muzafer Korcutt, and the election of the Commission for Reform show that, according to all odds, the Democratic Party has again put its multi-creative hands in this academy!
Many noted that three additional honorary members, two of whom were Albanians in Macedonia and one of them, were also elected to this council.
I do not want to believe that members of the Albanian Academy of Sciences, who chose the Commission in question, think of Kosovo what the current chairman, in two terms, of the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts, who, even in the presence of an academic and other intellectual from Albania, had declared: ” Kosovo has overthrown two empires (the Ottoman Empire and the Austro Empire) so that it is much easier to overthrow Albania! ”
In addition to the over-explored major flaw, the Commission in question had another major flaw: it had only made up of members of the Academy, without any civil society intellectual, no researchers, no creators, no other intellectuals from Albania and Kosovo. He cannot reform the Commission for Reform, whose founder selects its own members who know he will support what he says and what he wants! With such a composition that Commission cannot reform, I cannot really cure the Albanian Academy of Sciences.

10. How can our Academy be saved, and are there opportunities for doing so?
Albania's Academy of Sciences can be reformed by completing the Commission with others, who are not yet members of it, even with others who are not party members. Albania's Academy can be reformed because in its salvation those who finance it will also be invested -- the Albanian government. Albania's Academy has the potential to reform properly because even in its compositions, there are intellectuals, creators, broad-cultural political and state people, with broad information about what is happening today in science and culture in the world in general.
And the fundamental idea on which the Albanian Academy should be reformed in my opinion is its whole structure.
The most difficult, meanwhile, will be reformed by the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts and will be reformed more difficult not because there are people in Kosovo with culture, with knowledge, with broad information about what the world's fields of science and culture, but why at its helm are some mediocrites that never read the philosophical work, never a monument work for the cultures and civilizations of São people read, why at its helm are the ones that its party's own advantages are placed on general interests.
Kosovo's Academy of Sciences and Arts will hardly be saved, meanwhile, because state structures, even because the Kosovo Assembly as its sponsor, even because the Government of Kosovo, shows no interest in saving that academy, in removing it from party claws, from LDK's claws and from the backs of a party clan. And the reasons why they do not show such concern make it a slightly broader topic that I do not consider possible to deal with in this conversation.
Citizens of Kosovo who, however, want to have an academy of the people of Kosovo rather than a party and clan, have an academy with value systems, with knowledge, contemporary ideas, with culture, with works that raise minds and advance society I consider necessary to remind them of the wise thinking of a European thinker, who was also quoted in Nelson Chabej's writing of the Academy of Sciences of Albania:
The “those who try and happen to fail, but those who don't even try are permanently lost”.
Ask therefore, citizens, that it may be reformed, that the Academy of Kosovo may be saved, that it may be saved from being devoured by a party and a clan, and that it may be saved from a series of evils that have conquered it!
For all these reasons the Assembly of Kosovo and the Government of Kosovo as the funder of the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts must give the initiative to reform this academy, and that means its organisation in the present time and conditions, which means being saved from a series of evils that burden it with professional, social, political views and ethical views.
The initiative for reform of the Albanian Academy of Sciences is also seeking reform of the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts.
