Renowned German newspaper takes Hashim Thaci (Photo) to heaven

Berlin's largest newspaper “Tabespiegel” has published an emotional narrative vital to Hashim Thaci, titled “From Chief Editor to President” A biography, as she calls it, for the colorful European hero.

German journalist Caroline Fetscher starts her article on “Tagesspiegel” by describing Bill Clinton's statue in Pristina.

“on the boulevard, Bill Clinton greets passersby, smiling and with his right hand raised, at a three-foot-high monument of the former American president. It would have to be the only one of this kind on a main road, in a country where most residents are Muslims and where they bear the name of an American president. It is a political-cultural signal that Kosovo's capital, Pristina, sent nine years ago. With that, the country testifies to a sign of thanks for the commitment America and Europe had shown in 1999, when in the recent war of Yugoslavia's dissolution process, with NATO's support proved that peace can be achieved with the postponement of the UN resolution towards peace. In 2008, former southern Serb province Kosovo declared its independence. Serbia, Russia and other states still do not recognise Kosovo's new status, and in the melting fire the flames of conflict are still burning”, writes Tagesspigel.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of independence, according to the German newspaper Roger Boyes, editor of London's newspaper “, and once “Tagesspiegel”, along with a British colleague, have published a biography for a modern and European hero, a portrait as done for a photobook for a Western Democrat. ”

“Heroi is named Hashim Thaci. From 2008 to 2014, he was the first prime minister of the new state. From 2016 he is president of the country”, writes Tagesspiegel.

If American politician Bob Dole's pre-word reads: “Thaci's trip is Kosovo's”, according to the German newspaper, then it's the optimistic and powerful face of the person with the edge, synonymous with his country.

“Born in April 1968, in the rural and poor region of the Drenica Valley in central Kosovo, Thaci studied in Pristina “Histor and philosopher”. Milosevic's Serbia oppressed Kosovo, Yugoslavia's poor house, turning it into a kind of apartheid system, and that was for Thaci a key experience. Civic rights of Kosovo Albanians were cut off, their language was banned, 900,000 books in Albanian-language libraries were deregistered on the part of the Milosevic regime. Thaci joined the rebel students, got hurt and went into an ecstasy. Without success, Kosovo's “Gandi”, Ibrahim Rugova, for peace without violence. But young people lost their patience - first of all, Thaci himself. In 1993, he was one of the founders of KLA guerrilla troops, the Kosovo Liberation Army”, writes Tagesspiegel.

Furthermore, Berlin's largest newspaper also writes about similarities between Clinton's memorial in Pristina and Hashim Thaci.

“The charges Hashim Thaci is participating in arms transport and corruption have never witnessed. Even this biography for the hero about assumptions in question remains vague. Luxury, on the other hand, gives the most evidence of the rebel turned state chief, to lawyer of the democratic Constitution, with minority rights and clear secular cuts. Besides, do Bill Clinton's perception, or do he keep Bill Clinton's memorial in Pristina in part, even lines of Hashim Thaci?”, writes this German medium.

Meanwhile, according to this newspaper, Kosovo has opened 46 diplomatic representations worldwide, and has the largest one in Berlin because about 400,000 Albanians from Kosovo live in Germany, while about two million live in Kosovo itself.

Tagesspiegel also writes good words for Kosovo's new ambassador to Germany, Kosovo-German writer Bequ Cufaj.

According to this German newspaper, Cufaj is familiar with his essays in “FAZ” and “Nue Zürcher Zeitung” or novels like “Foreign excellence” or “Project@party”, serving earlier also as a culture ambassador.

The German media writes that the motto of cosmpolitan readers and the clever Democrat is: “to unite people and Kosovo conduct itself to Europe”. As other countries, such as Hungary or Poland, continue to differ from the EU, it says, new friends arise who are hopefully knocking on the door, in Albania or Kosovo.

“in Hashim Thaci's country, the word Europe means only one thing: promise. Patience is required until this is fulfilled”, Tagesspiegel writes.
