The misunderstood cow (and the beginning of the Cold War between Kosovo and Albania)

The month of February has revived political drama in the country. A drama that may not be productive for the development of the country but that still takes an interest in people.

Last night, it was reported that a new parliamentary group had already been formed in the Assembly, with MPs resigned from positions in the Vetevendosje Movement. This constitutes one of the first concrete signs towards the division of the Movement, thought to be inevitable.

In the early days, Republic of Albania Prime Minister Edi Rama made an analogy that was interpreted as insulting to the Kosovo leadership. He said, "Don't act like a milk-making cow, and you're spilling your milk out of your car”."

Contacted by Periscopi, the Haradinaj Government's media official, Halil Matoshi, declined to comment that statement but did not hide the derogatory tone to Rama. We do not comment on anyone's statements, much less on a prime minister like the Albanian”. To prove his humiliation, which Periscop was reluctant to interpret as such, Matosh wrote a Facebook status where he said “in his gegnist You can't spill the tamli, you can't even plant cannabis. The refrain with the cannabis being made to Prime Minister Rama is daily heard by opposition parties in Albania, which joined our prime minister's dependence.

Early in the day, it was reported that Rama had spoken with Vukqi again about Kosovo and her involvement in a joint regional market. There were numerous reactions that said Kosovo should not accept involvement in such a market without final recognition from the Republic of Serbia.

Are we heading towards a cold war between Kosovo and Albania? Of course, our two countries are poor and weak and take into account common history and the love that is changed among our peoples is impossible. And yet, the leaders of Kosovo and Albania are uncooperatively and conflicting. The only discipline they receive in this regard is that of public opinion which, however, is more united than ever. So, all that can happen is some kind of hall comedy.

Here we can get to know an important language difference between our two countries. In Albania, there is no irreverent meaning like in Kosovo, and people are not usually offended by that word. But this would have to be another opportunity to increase communication and cooperation between our two countries and not as an unnecessary argument that sows feelings of resentment.

While these two developments took place, Behxhet Pacolli announced that Kosovo was officially recognised by Guinea Bissau. A country somewhere in Africa, probably not so well-known for big football stars. But anyway, this is good news for our Republic.

What will happen today, tomorrow and the remaining days of February of Independence remains to be seen. But the beginning is not dramatic. / Periscope
