Analyst Kreshnik Spahiu has stated that the US Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, not only ignored the opposition by not meeting any of their representatives, but according to him, he also made a gesture that Hilary Clinton did not make during her visit.
Spahiu made the comments on the show “Now with Erla Mëhillin” on Euronews Albania, where he said that Blinken did not even choose to speak in Parliament, which, according to him, shows that he did not even want to see the representatives of the opposition.
He also said that there is a kind of disappointment of the American factor even towards those who came out against Berisha in the beginning, since according to him, they are now lining up one by one on his side.
“In a way, the arrival of Washington’s message about the opening of the Kuçova base is a kind of relativization of Don Still’s base and the removal of the exclusivity of the Ferizaj base, the American base in Kuçova. There have been some silent messages from Blinken today, which have given a kind of relativization to relations with Pristina, discrediting it.
On the other hand, the arrival of Blinken in Tirana refreshes once again that Tirana is once again considered the main partner and the main center of the Americans in the Balkans. The fourth that was characteristic was that Blinken really ignored the opposition that did not meet him, but he also made another gesture that Hilary Clinton did not.
He could choose to speak in Parliament, he ignored them in Parliament as well. He didn’t even dare to see them with his eyes. He refused to meet neither Berisha’s nor Basha’s opposition. Because there is a kind of disappointment of the American factor even with those who came out against Berisha, because they also went to the balcony today”, said Spahiu.
