Summit a month ago NATO and today's EU member, attended and Joe Biden's close man for Europe in Skopje, has a clear political signal. In northern Macedonia, parliamentary and presidential elections are held on May 8th.
And as US, like EU, are concerned that a country NATO can be introduced into unknown crossword puzzles of tectonic movements that do not go west, but from Moscow and China. In Montenegro, another state of NATO, part of the ruling majority, is a direct ally of Vladimir Putin and his vassal Milorad Dodik of Republika Srpska, who holds the number two state post.
In northern Macedonia, there are at least 2 clear pro-Russian political parties that expect to come to power in the upcoming elections. Both parties are ally of nationalist V party RMO-DPMNE) Revolutionary Movement for the Macedonian Nation, and Tetovo, but even in Gostivar, in local elections, these parties were in coalition with the Albanian opposition, especially in Tetovo with Besa and Bilall Kasami, a philoislam party.
These two parties speak out against the West, while the largest opposition party refused to adopt constitutional changes enabling the removal of Bulgarian veto for Skopje.
Two days ago, President Joe Biden openly stated that a promotion of Putin in Ukraine could also open up the front of the Balkans on the part of Moscow.
Albin Kurti, a few months ago, has intervened in the northern Macedonia electoral campaign, joining against Ali Ahmeti, and joining the three Albanian parties, which in the previous elections have been VMMO allies- DPMNE. Kurt even registered his section of the Northern Macedonia Vetevendosje in elections, as he did in Albania in 2021.
But Americans, of course the EU, in a powerful move have forced Albin Kurti not only to be a supporter of Ali Ahmeti in Skopje, but brought from Belgrade both Aleksander Vucic. A clear more geopolitical and direct signal to Vladimir Putin. Where not only there will be no deviation in Skopje, but Belgrade also controls Washington and Brussels hard.
As for Albin Kurt, the images scattered by the meetings speak for themselves. Where he was forced to campaign for Skopje's Vetvendosje opponent. And there is political logic because Ali Ahmeti's DUI, since 2001, has been a staunch ally of the West in Northern Macedonia, even in 2016, was clearly threatened physically and politically. Not only from Moscow and Belgrade, but also from Tirana and Pristina. Where Ilir Meta's allies asked him to make an alliance with Nikola Gruevski, unlike the US and EU demands.
