The Albanian diaspora brings over 1 billion euros to Kosovo within a single year

By: ANALYST Gani Qarri

Oh people, oh Albanians or Albanian-speakers, whatever you are or feel, do not disgrace the name, oh men and women of this country, because 2 million euros in assets is being declared by a single politician in banks and real estate, accumulated in an unclear manner after the war in Kosovo, and no one is reacting with such spite.

Put your finger on your head once more and think calmly about what benefit the diaspora could have, which according to calculations on some portals, amounts to no more than 4 to 6 euros per passenger, which actually means nothing more than a coffee and a sparkling water in Kosovo, money that no one accounts for and that no one would take for that entire journey, so do not boast and lower yourselves so much, because never at any time has the Albanian people, known for patriotism and national sacrifices, allowed us to deal with such trivialities.

The Albanian diaspora brings over 1 billion euros to Kosovo within a single year, or even more, and no one complains about why the emigrants do this. They, wherever they work and stay abroad, have never given up on their homeland. In Dardania they have families, homes, properties, and other financial and movable assets, so there is no force or propaganda, no matter how low, that can distance, divide, or exclude them from the processes taking place in their country.

The higher the "opposition" from the propagandists of the fifth column, the stronger will be the counter-reaction and determination of patriotic emigrants to become part of developments in peace, just as has been demonstrated in deed, with active participation also in the war for freedom and liberation of our common homeland, heroic Kosovo.

Understand once and for all that Prime Minister Kurti's decision to allocate 2 million euros to airlines to support diaspora flights to Kosovo plays no role at all for the diaspora, and those who have made up their minds to vote will do so regardless of euros, whether by coming to Kosovo or by voting in its diplomatic and consular missions in Europe and the world.

Whether the subsidization of airline routes is a "normal" practice or not, believe me, no one cares about this matter, and the political tensions and banal divisions that unfold without any ethics or level, to make unbridled propaganda on the eve of all elections, are not happening only now and exclusively for the 2 million that have been extremely problematized without any need, but this propaganda is the fruit of dirty money, tens or even hundreds of millions of suspicious sums, brought in sacks from Serbia and other conspiratorial centers, to divide Albanians and deepen the polarizations of the political scene in Kosovo.

The strongest and indisputable guarantee, as far as the diaspora is concerned, lies in the fact that the emigrants who have decided to vote for LVV and Prime Minister Albin Kurti have not asked anyone for money, nor do they ask him for money, and they do not vote for him for money, even if those sums were 2 million euros per person.

The emigrants have proven over time and in all situations that they are not people who can be sold or bought for money and privileges, and they have proven this in deed even in the face of much greater efforts, even accompanied by the use of force, but the diaspora has not been sold or surrendered in any case or moment, no matter how difficult, so stop the dirty propaganda, because the emigrants have not agreed to eat even Serbia's plum jam, when your mouths were foaming while feeding on them even before us, and you attacked us even then, just like today for politics, because we did not eat Serbia's plum jam, because you enjoyed them very much.

And for your information, emigrants have learned very well how to vote in Europe and the democratic world around the globe, so do not give us so many "lectures," because nobody is asking you, and I invite you not to forget one thing: that emigrants are not you, nor are they like you. They have never known what surrender is, and they will not weaken or faint before Serbian propaganda, translated by you into Albanian, which unfortunately, lately more and more loudly, is being multiplied by a not small number of sold individuals and Albanian-speaking parrots in Kosovo, a surprising phenomenon with many question marks behind it, which it would be good for AKI and the Prosecutor's Office to deal with as soon as possible and seriously, to understand its reasons and financiers.
