Why Ibrahim Rugova did not allow Sali Berisha to breach Kosovo soil

Albania's former president and prime minister, Sali Berisha, is today one of the most vocal figures of Albanian politics, opposed to political ideas in dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia. In all the clashes he has, especially with current President Hashim Thaci, who recently has also started calling Belgrade's vele in Kosovo, Berisha and Thaci, have also clashed with the past of the first (before Berisha).

The mention that Thaci made to Berisha for his reports with former President Ibrahim Rugova has once again aroused the need for what was the truth of the cooling of reports between Berisha and Rugova.

That Rugova had turned his back on Berisha since 1996, well-known Albanian journalist Blendi Fevziu has said in a statement.

The cooling “has been a moment of tension between Berisha and the Americans due to the 1996 elections. At that moment, Berisha began to support Demac, whom he also invited to Tirana. And here are mysterious things, which I never have explained, Albanian Foreign Minister Tritan Shehu, calls diplomats in Tirana and tells you from now on the course changes and we will give support to Demac, not to Rugova”, Fevziu said in an earlier interview.

According to him, Shehu's meeting with Albanian diplomats is a documented meeting and took place in 1996.

And here Rugova's cold with Berisha begins. And you remember later the Rambouillet Conference where, after the return of the Kosovo delegation, the plane stops in Tirana and everyone comes down and meets with Albanian state leaders, but it was Rugova who never left the plane. President Rexhep Mejidani then went to him on the plane, and after a long conversation he persuaded him to subtract”, Rugova said.

Berisha himself has given his version of this cooling of reports with former President Rugova. Berisha's version is more or less, supposedly two in a moment turned their backs on each other because of the request brought to Berisha's table to persuade Rugova to participate in Serbia's elections.

A detailed picture of the great excommunication, Rugova Berisha, gives author Bedri Islami in his book exactly this title, so the grand line. There, the author mainly hints that the collapse between Rugova and Berisha é that began in 1996 é happened because Rhugova blew Berisha's account of being the paernalist leader of the Albanian nation. In this book, the author gives an assessment that the collapse between Rugova and Berisha took place mainly on career issues first and then, as the question implies, would take place together with no dice because they were seeing where things were going in Kosovo.

“Berisha has actually always used Kosovo's charter hard. He also used it when he wanted to enter power, even after taking power, but things were going out of what good people had dreamed. In a short time, from the European policy, Kosovo as a state of nationalism, was turning to ordinary human opinion as a place from which fraud and lies were coming, as, exactly, the first settlers, presented as business world people, were actually the first Serbian security services”, writes Islam in this book, which is easily accessible even on the internet. /Periscope.
