Where Blinken's visit differs from the other two secretaries
Antony Blinken, Hillary Clinton and John Kerry

Antony Blinken, the US Secretary of State, landed in Tirana yesterday, with a very unusual agenda. For the first time, a Secretary of State meets the heads of justice, who were actually 3 of them fillers for the photo, since the real meeting was with the head of SPAK, Mr. Altin Dumani.

This was the news of an agenda beyond the meetings that he held, on the other hand, unlike his two predecessors who had been in Albania, Antony Blinken did not put any exponent of the opposition on the agenda.

Berisha is "non grata", he couldn't meet, but he didn't even meet Lulzim Basha, he didn't even meet the new small parties, which former ambassador Yuri Kim has supported, such as Adriatik Llapaj or "Lëvizjen Baške" or "Nisma Knitting" and others like this. No phenomenon from the opposition agreed to meet him. Maybe Jorida Tabakun, Gazment Bardhi or someone else, but it didn't happen to them either.

His predecessors have held official meetings with the opposition, when John Kerry came to Tirana he had a meeting with Lulzim Basha or when Mrs. Clinton came in 2012 he had meetings with Edi Rama.

It is clear that there is a big change in the agenda, then the opposition was considered, it was considered, but in this case it has been left out.

Blinken's message was clear, we support justice, its reform and it takes courage. It is understood that the courage is not directed towards the opposition, which in this case is not considered and is not considered, but the courage that Edi Rama himself requires, is required towards the government, towards its high officials and the government.

Changing agendas is very important, but it is enough to go back a little in time to understand what these agendas entail.

We remember Hillary Clinton, who in 2012 in Tirana, a year after the events of January 21, when 4 people were killed, or after Gërdec, which happened on March 15, 2008, said that if you want a country where democracy is in development, it is Albania and you can see it.

Almost 10 years later, the prime minister of that time, Sali Berisha, was declared "non grata". We recall here the official positions held by the American embassy, ??calling the former head of the KLA and the former Prime Minister of Kosovo, Hashim Thaçi, the George Washington of Kosovo, with great support, but then he ended up in The Hague and is in jail.

Yesterday's messages given by Antony Blinken are strong like those of Clinton, especially to the prime minister, the extraordinary leader, the extraordinary leader, the extraordinary supporter who has always been on the side of the USA, the reforms that are coming, but the time will show how far the support for Prime Minister Rama or his other officials will go and how the story of this love will continue, as time has shown us that many loves have ended with consequences.

These are the facts that can be clearly read from the visit of Mr. Blinken and his former predecessors John Kerry and Hillary Clinton. So, their behavior in Albania was different, in the agenda, the messages were just as strong, we are seeing the consequences after a decade./CNA
