Berisha on Serpent's Path

In Hashim Thaci's hypocritical and middlemost blast against Sali Berisha, there is something beyond the hurt of a publicly challenged politician and a president affected at the seat. His rumours that he cannot take lessons against partitioning Kosovo's borders -- from the man who has sheltered bin Laden -- who has helped Milosevic, who has imprisoned Adem Yasar, however ridiculous they may seem to be -- are not innocent at all.

Why did Thaci attack Berisha?

True, they constitute a recurring topic over the years in the opposition press with Berisha. There are disquieting doubts among them that have never been made white with evidence and evidence. They've really earned some kind of citizenship on both sides of the border. But Hashim Thaci is at least in the moral position and political coherence to become today's spokesman for these topics.

Who has followed the biography of the first former Albanian president after the fall of communism, it is not easy to note that all the charges Thaci makes today date back to the first half of the 1990s. Who also knows the beginnings of UCK, well that a part of its most radical arm, has believed in what its former political leader, under the nickname “Gjarpri”, is articulating today.

But he's been drawing a lot of water ever since. With all these charges on the back of Sali Berisha returned to power -- this time as prime minister -- in 2005, while Hashim Thaci won it by election -- two years later, not to be divided until today, 11 years later.

And that's where hypocrisy is. During the time both shared the honeymoon, Thaci has never recalled such accusations. He created with Berisha yesterday, a couple as banal as with Rama today. Both were seen side by side on anniversary, both organised joint TV shows, even Thaci became part of the 2009 electoral inaugurations and crossed every goal when he welcomed Berisha's stance on the killing of citizens on January 21st.
So it's clear that more than with bin Laden, Milosevic, or Adem Jasharin, the Thaci explosion, it's not Berisha's history, but with his latest proposal for not changing Kosovo's borders.

If you carefully read Berisha's statement, it speaks out against the division of an independent state known as such from the majority of the international community, it stresses that it suits the elaborate strategies in Belgrade, underscores that it could open a real pan-tandal box in the Balkans, but in no case does he mention Thaci and does not mention him.

Then the question is, why did the president of Kosovo personally attack his former partner, who said nothing more than dozens, politicalists, analysts, or all-involve knowledge of the region?

Without asking that question and wondering about her response, you cannot understand the lightnings in the clear sky that the Kosovo president cast.
A version of why Thaci did this should be asked in his political decision to accept the partition of Kosovo and the exchange of territory. A few days ago, he designed this idea (read writing down).

He seems to be working on it for a long time. And to achieve that goal, he has put into the sack almost all of Kosovo's ruling coalition, as moderate as corrupt. What he fears with much is the intervention in this discussion of powerful public voices that could disrupt his project. Therefore, he erupted against Berisha, at a time that as head of state, which has a duty to include, he should be interested in hearing all the rumours stuck in the debate.

In that sense, the ugly attack on Berisha makes Hashim Thaci guilty. Guilty not for the fact that there's a different idea -- too controversial too -- but that he's apparently working to put it in secret, insidious, without noise and fuss. So he secretly presents it as a union with the divided lands of Presevo and Bujanovac, so he becomes nervous and comes out of his way when Berisha condemns not himself but the idea he supports.
This nervous one wrapped up in the hypocrisy of past events makes you doubt Hashim Thaci's intentions. More than in Kosovo's best, he is apparently trying to use for his personal interests the fable of the agreement with Belgrade.
It is of little importance whether these interests are related to the Special Court or to dreams in Brussels, to the Nobel of Peace. The important thing is that they risk being at the expense of Albanians. That proved to be also the blind, hypocritical and middle-aged reaction of Thaci to Berisha, which was nothing more than a desperate attempt to avoid the current debate. /Lapsy.al/
