Substantial Misunderstandings in Kosovo's Krasta Attacks

The attacks on Adi Krastta in Kosovo, from the journalists' community, are unexplained and not based on his career goals at RTK, but on the reference invented for his “disidentza” in Albania.

There is always a misunderstanding between Albania and Kosovo concerning the profile of intellectuals, journalists or other public personalities. Their mutual promotions are often customer. This list includes Adi Krasta.

If you look at most angry people in Kosovo with Adi Krastta, they refer to him as the dissident of Edi Rama and Sali Beirsha in journalism in Albania.

And then they feel revolted.

If you are serious that you have hired a “disiddent” of Edi Rama or Sali Berisha, you have no right to react to him. Andy Krasta doesn't pretend I don't even believe this. Only if he told you in any coffee in Pristina.

He is a popular person in Albania, as a host of musical programmes, starting as early as 1992, then with a presentation of Misss or Festivals on Radio Television.

He's one of the best in this area.

Someone beat him when Berisha was in power, while he presented miss and festivals, without getting involved in politics, but neither he nor Berisha clarified him, nor when they became friends together on Berisha television.

A legend by Berisha has also spread, that Krasta has been busy with Edi Rama during a close reception in 2013. Edi Rama has said this did not happen, while Krasta has not spoken, but Berisha has spoken instead.

If these two acts are called dydence and are taken to journalism, it is the problem of those who have believed in Kosovo, not Adi Krastta. If you're confused about talking fluently and quickly, I don't blame you. But that's called a lecture, not a dissemination. If it were a disorder of fluent and endless speech, the greatest “disident” in this area would be Fatmir Mediu, followed by Grida Duma.

Krastta's moves from one TV to another have been contract issues, not political dissemination. He left Top Channel for low performance of the programme and then attacked it like a TV that was funded by drugs, and started working on Agon TV, an Italian family television that is under charge, and with some family members convicted as part of the garbage mafia in Rome. Then he had a heart attack and he went back to Top Channel, after he stopped smelling drugs, and ended up at Berisha's family TV.

These movements require some bravery, but no discipline.

Ad Krasta continues to work on Berisha television in Albania, parallel to being the deputy director of RTK in Kosovo, and we all thought she went to Kosovo for any concert or presentation of the song festival.

Now it is clear that he is becoming Kosovo Radio Television director before the elections. I think Albin didn't think it was bad. A TV host, or showman, is fit to run a national television policy seeking to use it politically, that not being a journalist, costs more importance to the artistic side of television and entertainment programs, while editor-in-chief becomes a political commissioner, or in concrete case this chief of Albin's cabinet, who has managed to make Albin more beloved to Greece than Albania for four years.

But Krastta can't prevent her from becoming director of RTK in Kosovo, inventing reasonings of type “in Albania you've been a dissident” and not here. He is not competing for dissidents, but for public television director, under the support of the ruling party.

Do not struggle with your misunderstandings. Either fight to save RTK as public television, and this is above all political battles, or accept Albin Kurti's candidacy. In this case, he didn't pick it wrong. Krusty does the fun show, and Albin and Dejoa do the political show.
