One of the most prominent American presidents, who will be remembered in history mainly for two things, the affair with Monika Lewinsky and the humanitarian war that liberated Kosovo, left Tirana amid general enthusiasm. The officials who were in the front rows of the ceremony are healing their swollen hands from the applause, the curious who went to see it up close, as is done with football stars or pop stars, are confessing their impressions, while those who were at the dinner closely, alongside Clinton, are enjoying their new social status. But, beyond these elements related to the spectacle of politics, it is important to understand the purpose and message of this private visit.
Since it was an event sponsored Germany Phone Number List and organized by Alex Soros, it cannot have been a routine coincidence. It is also unlikely that the Open Society Foundation wanted to make a symbolic gift, on the 59th anniversary of his birth, to one of his best and most diligent clients. Knowing that Bill Clinton's speeches cost no less than half a million dollars, this would be a disproportionate care, for a date that was not even an anniversary. The only political statement and the only attitude worth debating from what the former 42nd American president said in Tirana was the paragraph he articulated about Kosovo.
If analyzed and deciphered word for word, it was undoubtedly a blow to the policy pursued by the current Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti. In Clinton's speech, the word "mistake" was mentioned for the election of four Albanian mayors in municipalities with a Serbian majority, it was called that this "stupidity" should be stopped and it was emphasized that the Slavic-Orthodox minority in Kosovo needs a decent government.
