Greek newspaper: Europe and the USA are throwing us under the wheels of the bus
Prime Minister Edi Rama

The Greek newspaper Kathimerini has dedicated another comment to the Beleri case, Greece's veto against Albania and the role of Prime Minister Edi Rama.

The Greek newspaper writes that the European Union is not with Greece in the Beleri case, especially German Chancellor Olaf Scholz.

The article further states that Europe and the US are ready to throw Greece - the biggest and most reliable ally in Southeast Europe - under the bus for Albania.

According to the article, this is due to the influence of Prime Minister Edi Rama, who has shown that he can do what Europe asks of him, especially in the case of Kosovo and relations with Serbia, and at the same time maintain good relations with Erdogan. at the same time preventing Albania from becoming Turkey's bridge in the Adriatic Sea.

Excerpt from Kathimerini's article:

Athens' warning that it will exercise its right of veto to prevent the European Union membership talks between Brussels and Tirana from the beginning, does not seem to have scared the Albanian prime minister in his revenge against Beler. Rama, in fact, seems to have taken a defiant stance towards European urges for a resolution on the matter, saying: "Even if the European Council were to turn upside down, we are not open to any negotiations that conflict with the interest Albania's strategic goal, which is the implementation of justice reform and the preservation of the independence of its justice institutions." His intransigence has been further strengthened by German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's reference to the issue as a "bilateral dispute" and unrelated to the EU's requirements regarding the rule of law in the accession process.

But where does all this love for Rama come from? Why are Europeans and Americans willing to throw Greece under the bus when it is their most important and reliable ally in Southeast Europe? The Albanian Prime Minister seems to have done a good job convincing them that this is a bilateral issue, a simple criminal matter that belongs only to the justice system of the country and that this justice system is unquestionably independent. He never misses the opportunity, when commenting on the Beleri affair, to remind the Europeans that the Albanian prosecution, courts and police aspire to the standards set by Europe and that he has no right to interfere.

The big picture

Beyond the "small picture" related to the case against Beler, however, there is a "big picture" in which Rama is seen as the favored interlocutor of the EU and the US in the Western Balkans. The wily prime minister continues to project himself as the leader who can guarantee the internal political stability and western orientation of Albania. Mainly, however, he presents himself as an influential politician with the leadership qualities needed to control dangerous developments in the troubled Kosovo, as the West wishes, and, more generally, with the ability to manipulate secessionist tendencies among the 7 million ethnic Albanians living in the Balkans.

Everyone understands that without Tirana and Belgrade, i.e. without Rama and Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić, there is little hope for improvement of the situation in Kosovo. He may not say it out loud, but the West also sees in Rama a pro-European prime minister who, despite the excellent relations with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, is protecting Albania from Islamization and from becoming Turkey's bridge to the Adriatic Sea. After all, he has shown that he will do what is asked of him. Such as, for example, the acceptance of Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's scheme for Albania to host several thousand immigrants and refugees trying to reach Europe from Africa.
