Bushat hits Thaci, Rama and Cakaj, says they embraced Serbian idea of changing borders

Albania's former Foreign Minister, Ditmir Bushati, said Serbia brought the idea of correcting borders with Albanians in Tirana. He said it was an old Serbian idea “packaged and placed in Albanian with characters who sold it as a local idea, coming from protagonists themselves in this process”

Let's get this thing straight by doing an echo. When I said it wasn't an issue in the interest of the Albanian nation and we've wasted time, I had in mind what you just said. But the idea in my judgment according to all the contacts that have enabled me to have the state position that I had was an old Serbian idea packaged in a highly structured way, placed in Albanian and with characters who have not only roamed every television studio in Albania and Kosovo, have come to my office, have gone to a very important headquarters, or at important decision-making centres to sell this as a local idea, as an idea coming from the protagonists in this process”, Mr. Bush.

For the former Albanian minister, the factor was introduced into a centrifuge that should not have been introduced, disposing the need for a necessary strengthening of the Albanian factor in the region as counterweight to this policy inspired by Belgrade.

Unfortunately, the Albanian factor was introduced into a centrifuge that should not have been introduced. For the first time, we saw a political war crossing the borders between Albania and Kosovo, and not only did politics revis Vucic's, received no response. A significant strengthening of the Albanian factor in the region is needed not only as counterweight to this policy inspired by Belgrade, because I am for cultivating normal relations with Serbia, but this cultivating normal relations cannot be complete as long as Serbia does not give up revisionist policies and does not recognise the responsibilities for its past in the region”, Bushati said.

Facing analysts Arjan Vasyari and Fatos Lubonja, Bushati said the damage that has been done to the Albanian factor is colossal, and that is the reason why the Bundestag document mentions this issue.

I have a rich archive for this process and for the debates that are made on this issue and maps that have been extracted. The damage that has been done to the Albanian factor is colossal, this is why the Bundestag document mentions this issue because otherwise there was no reason to mention it and I'm saying that, fortunately, it looks like we're re-finding and another time that compass”, he said.

He said there has been heated debate on the matter. Meanwhile, analyst Arjan Vasjari said it was a structured idea that worked clearly on this thing, as far as they talked about square miles and villages, “a buttoned affair “sic said.

While analyst Fatos Lubonja maintained the opinion that Ditmir Bushati was dismissed from his post as foreign minister on the very issue. “was appointed a Kosovo minister, who, according to data, is a close man of Batoni, and the fact that he placed the prime minister and removed the minister we had with the deducing leads that the prime minister once had that opinion and changed his mind. Then why did he change his mind about it? The removal of Bushat, Bushati does not say, and the deployment of the one who was put on because they never made it out that we are for border change, but Thaci has always been protected. All of this leads to something that is a big responsibility”, Lubonja said.
