The Prime Minister of Albania, Edi Rama, participated in an evening organized by the youth of the "Arbën Xhaferi" Foundation. During his speech, the head of the government commented on the debate on the Albanian language in North Macedonia, where he said that the problem is not the people themselves, but the leaders.
He further added that "the leaders, instead of curing this ethnopolitical strabismus, use and exploit it".
"I am glad to be here today and that the wish of the girls and boys of the foundation came true. They were very eager to carry out this activity. It's not the best thing that can happen to be given the floor to talk about Arben Xhafer when you can't focus enough to say something that would make you feel okay. In these cases, the danger is that someone of extraordinary proportions is being commemorated and ordinary speeches and praise are woven. Not wanting to be absent this evening, I had to negotiate with the foundation officials, which could be interpreted. The peoples of the Balkans suffer from strabismus and trying to add something. The problem is not the peoples themselves, it is the leaderships, instead of curing this ethnopolitical strabismus, they use it and exploit it, continuously trying to keep the object of discussion and the need not to look askance at each other away from center," Rama said, writes Tch, KosovaPress broadcasts.
