Such an impressive woman. I’m proud to have served alongside her on the board of directors of the Balkan Youth Foundation, chaired by President Ahtisaari, in the aftermath of the Kosovo war. We even shared a burek once at the legendary “Sarajevo” burek shop in downtown Prishtina.
Dugin keeps posting “positively” about Albanians, just days after openly backing protests against Rama. Hardly surprising that Moscow welcomes civil unrest in NATO member states from France to Albania.

Just in case anyone is wondering: I live in Paris; if I didn’t have X dot com I would have no idea there are riots in France.
I disagree with much of Branko’s political commentary and am not qualified to judge his economic writings. But this list is a rather accurate reading of Serbia’s current ‘actual’ foreign policy (though it leaves out Belgrade’s destructive hegemonic policies in the region.)

Meloni: I do not miss the Russian tanks in Prague and Budapest. I do not miss the Berlin Wall.
If Ukraine stopped defending itself tomorrow, Russia would occupy a European nation and Soviet-style imperialism would return.

I have seen Israeli tourists in Tirana but this x15 jump in numbers is quite something: “In the past three years, the number of Israeli tourists in Albania has surged from about 7,000 to about 100,000 per year.”
ישראל ואלבניה חתמו על הסכם תעופה מתקדם
שר החוץ גדעון סער ושר התשתיות והאנרגיה של אלבניה, אנאה קרקאצ'י, חתמו (12.10) בטירנה על הסכם תעופה מתקדם בין המדינות.
בנוסף, נחתם הסכם שיתוף פעולה בין-ממשלתי מורחב, שיאפשר לממשלת אלבניה להתקשר ישירות עם חברות ישראליות ויפתח בפניהן הזדמנויות עסקיות רבות.
בשלוש השנים האחרונות זינק מספר התיירים הישראלים באלבניה מכ-7,000 לכ-100,000 בשנה. הסכם התעופה צפוי להרחיב את היצע הטיסות בין המדינות ולתת מענה לביקוש הגובר.

Continuing their visit, @SenatorShaheen and @SenatorDurbin met today with Kosovo opposition leaders and Embassy staff. The senators also spoke with RTK. Stay tuned for the interview!
Thread: EU diplomat tells me that Brussels & few European capitals are reacting to Kosovo’s @SpecialChambers law under Serbian pressure. Belgrade “demanded” condemnation on a par with Europe’s response to Ratko Mladić’s funeral. But Serbia gaslights while we stay fully silent.
3/4 The law must also be explained by international legal experts and human rights organisations. It should open serious Kosovo–EU negotiations on the Chambers’ eventual closure, institutional accountability and Kosovo’s national interests, without interfering in pending appeals.
