A strike in Rinas and the US between

By Plator Nesturi / Two events yesterday that kept the curiosity throughout the campaign and that despite the distance between them were related to each other. First the former virtual visit of Mr. Palmer with the main heads of state and on the other hand a strike in Rinas where the air controllers had blocked both the departure and landing of the planes as well as the overpasses in the airspace.

As diverse as they may seem, there is a connection between them, and this has to do with the expected dynamics of the coming days where a major military maneuver is expected to take place and where the number of American troops will be over 6000 thousand effective, not forgetting military mechanics to be transported to our country. And it is at this time that a sudden blockade occurs by air traffic controllers that leaves strong suspicions that there is a political background behind the election campaign. But let's take it in turn. The high representative of the Department naturally that the first motive for leaving the virtual visit with the leaders of the country had exactly the issue of military maneuvers that will take place.

For this reason and his conversations were with members of the High Security Council and who constituted the Prime Minister, the President and the Chairman of the opposition, as part of the Security panel.
Naturally, other elements that are considered important by the US in our relations were also included in the talks, where the most important factor is justice reform, as a direct investment of our partners across the Atlantic. This included meeting with those representatives of institutions and reform contributors whom Mr. Palmer calls the Champions of Justice. What can be noticed is the fact that the alliance between the two countries has no shadow of a doubt and the positioning of Albania's foreign policy is clearly and openly expressed in cohesion with American policy. Thus, these relations remain consolidated and effective and there is no dependence on who can win the April 25 elections. What stood out in the statement conveyed about the meetings was another fact. Without going directly into the elements of the political struggle taking place in the country, even with the rhetoric of particular figures when anathema to justice reform or its particular figures, Palmer had introduced in diplomatic language, equality in the importance of his meetings between the President and Dvoran. And this is not done without purpose.


Dvorani received a top decoration as Champion of Justice a month ago from the State Department, but that did not stop President Meta from declaring with the same force that despite his decoration by the US, Dvorani is awaiting imprisonment. However, if this virtual visit of Palmer can also be called as a courtesy visit to the host before the development of military maneuvers, this issue could not receive more attention if the day was not accompanied by the news of the strike of air traffic controllers. Putting under blockade of the Albanian airspace, both for landings and rises as well as for overpasses in space, was a serious news that has nothing to do with the working relations of the controllers and the respective company, than with the integrity of the country and its lack of seriousness in fulfilling obligations to third parties when it comes to flights in our space. Laying out and in the conditions when the developments of military maneuvers with the military effectives of the allied forces are on the verge, this further reduces the dignity as a country that does not offer guarantees and credibility in the fulfillment of its tasks within NATO. The additional element is that this happens in the middle of the election campaign which has thrown and doubt that the incitement of this rebellion happened precisely from political inspiration. The first statements on this issue were from former Prime Minister Berisha and then from President Meta who had a kind of alignment and solidarity with the demands of the controllers.

But it seems the winch started to go backwards. The reaction of Rama and Balluku, until the intervention of the police and the Armed Forces in taking control of the air strikes, seems to have been much further than a local decision. The very statement made by the opposition leader Basha was much different from that of Berisha and the president. Basha released the controllers and their demands and simply tried to deny that what is happening to the controllers is the work of Rama himself. It used to be a kind of statement to guarantee that he himself has no hand in this matter and has not even encouraged anyone to block air traffic. And it is understood that in this case Basha does not seek to guarantee Rama that he did not intervene in Rinas, but another angle. Without going into the issue of payment for controllers and how they have their employment contract, but the issue of air traffic congestion seems to be not enough with the measures or remarks of some employees. The target seems to have been set much higher, at the top of politics that apparently in their rush to ruin jobs for everything related to the government and the country, have taken a false step that could cost them from other actors. But what is clear is that with this he unwittingly does a first honor to Rama himself. They did him the honor of proving once again his accusations in front of the internationals, how destructive he is in the ranks of the Albanian opposition. have taken a false step that can cost you from other actors.
