Η κυβέρνηση προσανατολίζεται στην «ελληνοποίηση» χιλιάδων αλλοδαπών με συνοπτικές διαδικασίες αλλά ταυτόχρονα απορρίπτει το δικαίωμα σε Έλληνες το γένος να αποκτήσουν τα δικαιώματα του Έλληνα πολίτη, όπως καταγγέλλουν εκατοντάδες Έλληνες Βορειοηπειρώτες που συνεχίζουν να φυλάσσουν Θερμοπύλες στην αρχαία αυτή εστία του Ελληνισμού.

Σύμφωνα με επιβεβαιωμένες πληροφορίες της ΣΦΕΒΑ από την Κορυτσά, το τελευταίο διάστημα, πολλοί ομογενείς που έκαναν αίτηση για χορήγηση ελληνικής υπηκοότητας λαμβάνουν απορριπτική απάντηση μέσω του εκεί προξενείου και μάλιστα χωρίς να εξηγείται επαρκώς και τεκμηριωμένα, ο λόγος της απόρριψης.


Οι περιπτώσεις αυτές ανέρχονται σε αρκετές δεκάδες και έχουν ανησυχήσει και θορυβήσει τους Βορειοηπειρώτες της πόλης καθώς βλέπουν ότι τους απορρίπτεται το δικαίωμα του Έλληνα πολίτη χωρίς επαρκή αιτιολογία τη στιγμή που η περιοχή, γενέτειρα μεγάλων ευεργετών του Έθνους, υπέφερε τα πάνδεινα από τη δεκαετία του 1920 για να αλλοιωθεί η εθνική της συνείδηση.

Η αγανάκτησή τους γίνεται μεγαλύτερη μάλιστα όταν ακούγεται στην Ελλάδα ότι θα χορηγηθεί με σύντομες διαδικασίες υπηκοότητα σε μετανάστες που εισήλθαν ή βρίσκονται παράνομα στη χώρα μας.

Το γεγονός δυστυχώς ότι η αναμονή για απάντηση στην αίτηση υπηκοότητας ξεπερνάει συνήθως τους 18 μήνες και συνεπάγεται σοβαρή οικονομική επιβάρυνση αλλά και απώλεια χρόνου για τη συγκέντρωση και μετάφραση όλων των απαραίτητων εγγράφων, λειτουργεί αποτρεπτικά για τους ομογενείς μας για να καταθέσουν ξανά τα χαρτιά τους και δικαιολογημένα αναρωτιούνται αν η Ελλάδα λειτουργεί απέναντί τους ως μητριά!

Ορισμένοι μας μετέφεραν μάλιστα την άποψη ότι η εξέλιξη αυτή ίσως οφείλεται σε απαίτηση της Αλβανίας προς την Ελλάδα να μην εγκριθούν πολλές αιτήσεις από την περιοχή της Κορυτσάς, καθώς η Αλβανία δεν αναγνωρίζει εκεί ελληνική μειονότητα.

Προς επίρρωση αναφέρουν και το θλιβερό γεγονός που συνέβη την περασμένη άνοιξη κατά την επίσκεψη του Έλληνα ΥΠ.ΕΞ. κ. Κοτζιά στην Κορυτσά όπου κατά την τριήμερη παραμονή του εκεί, απαξίωσε να συναντηθεί με τους Έλληνες της πόλης, την τοπική ΟΜΟΝΟΙΑ, ενώ δεν επισκέφτηκε ούτε το σχολείο ΟΜΗΡΟΣ που λειτουργεί με έξοδα του ελληνικού κράτους.

Και όλα αυτά για να μην θιγούν οι Αλβανοί. Όπως αναφέρεο χαρακτηριστικά ηλικιωμένος Κορυτσαίος στο himara.gr: «ήταν προτιμότερο να κάνει τις συναντήσεις σε άλλη πόλη ο κ. υπουργός, παρά να έλθει εδώ στην πόλη μας και να μας αγνοήσει εντελώς!»

Συνεπώς εδώ προκύπτει ένα ζήτημα: Υπάρχει μυστική διπλωματία μεταξύ Ν.Κοτζιά και Αλβανών όπως κατήγγειλλαν χθες οι ιδρυτές του κόμματος «Δύναμη Ελληνισμού», Τ.Μπαλτάκος και Δ.Καμμένος; Στα πλαίσια αυτής της μυστικής διπλωματίας και της συμφωνίας που θέλει να συνάψει ο Ν.Κοτζιάς με την Αλβανία για οριοθέτηση θαλασσίων ζωνών και... συνόρων (κατά δήλωση του ιδίου), έχει ζητηθεί και έχει γίνει αποδεκτό, να μεταχειρίζονται οι Έλληνες της Βορείας Ηπείρου ως ένα είδος... αόρατων;

Ο Ν.Κοτζιάς είχε πει πως η κυβέρνηση συζητά «μια δέσμη 10 θεμάτων, μεταξύ των οποίων και η οριοθέτηση των συνόρων και των θαλάσσιων ζωνών»

Οκ, το πιάσαμε για την οριοθέτηση συνόρων, μήπως όμως στα 10 θέματα είναι και η «εξαφάνιση» ή έστω «ελαχιστοποίηση» της ελληνικής μειονότητας στην Αλβανία;


Επιχειρείται να μην δίνεται η ελληνική υπηκοόητα σε Έλληνες το γένος με την προοπτική έτσι να μην εμφανίζεται στο πραγματικό της μέγεθος η ελληνική ομογένεια της περιοχής;

Αυτά είναι πολύ σοβαρά ερωτήματα και δεν μπορεί να ξεφύγει δια της σιωπής το ελληνικό ΥΠΕΞ.

Να σημειώσουμε επίσης ότι ένα απόσπασμα από δηλώσεις του Ν.Κοτζιά δείχνει πως αντιλαμβάνονται στην κυβέρνηση το ζήτημα της Βορείας Ηπείρου.

Είναι απαραίτητο να τονίσουμε ότι δεν είναι δυνατόν η κυβέρνηση ΣΥΡΙΖΑ-ΑΝΕΛ από την μια μεριά να ισχυρίζεται ότι το όνομα «Βόρεια Μακεδονία» δεν εμπεριέχει αλυτρωτικό χαρακτήρα, αλλά πρόκειται για καθαρά γεωγραφικό προσδιορισμό, ενώ από την άλλη να αποδέχεται στην διαπραγμάτευση με τον Αλβανό ομόλογό του ότι ο αντίστοιχος όρος «Βόρειος Ήπειρος» σηματοδοτεί όντως αλυτρωτισμό και γι’ αυτό πρέπει να εγκαταλειφθεί επισήμως από την Ελλάδα!

Ερωτώμενος για τις διαφορές μας με την Αλβανία λοιπόν ο Ν.Κοτζιάς λέει, ανάμεσα σ’ άλλα, και τα εξής:

«Οι αντιπολιτεύσεις έχουν την τάση να δημιουργούν στα κυβερνητικά τους χρόνια τετελεσμένα και μετά μας καταγγέλλουν για αυτά. Λένε επίσης ότι θα παραδώσουμε τη Βόρεια Ήπειρο.

Εάν δεν το έχουν καταλάβει, με τις διεθνείς συνθήκες και την Τελική Πράξη του Ελσίνκι, η Βόρεια Ήπειρος είναι κομμάτι της Αλβανίας και εμείς δεν έχουμε καμία πρόθεση να ανατρέψουμε τα σύνορα.

Αυτές είναι ψυχώσεις που κάνουν κακό στη χώρα και δεν έχουν καμία σχέση με την ευρωπαϊκή πολιτική διαλόγου και συμβιβασμού».

German Parliament Opposes Kosovo-Serbia Land Swap in Session on KFOR Troops

German Parliament Opposes Kosovo-Serbia Land Swap in Session on KFOR Troops
The largest parties in the German Parliament have opposed a land swap deal between Kosovo and Serbia.

In a Bundestag session on the routine annual approval to extend the German KFOR troops’s stay in Kosovo, MPs extensively discussed the expected restart of dialogue and its outcome, DW reported.

Coalition  partners CDU/CSU and SPD, as well as the Liberals (FDP) and the Greens (Grüne) – stated their categorical rejection of a land swap deal.

The two ideologically extreme parties, The Left and the Alternative for Germany supported the exchange of territories and will vote against extending the mandate of German troops in Kosovo.

Foreign Minister Heiko Maas said the government plans to increase the German presence at KFOR from 70 to 400 soldiers. Despite the relatively stable security situation there, Maas said that political relations between Kosovo and Serbia has deteriorated. He promised increased engagement by Germany in the dialogue after it takes up the EU presidency on July 1st.

Maas dismissed the idea of exchange of territories: “The goal is to move away from border solutions, which have been put on the table not only by the parties, but also by others who want to exert influence there. But that would only achieve a supposed-progress, if one could call it progress, given the situation there. Playing with such ideas only push the solution to complex problems and lead nowhere but to a dead end.”

Not surprisingly, AfD’s Anton Friesen called on the government to support the land swap plan “so that Serbs in northern Kosovo can be protected within their own state, and Albanian areas prone to destabilization in south of Serbia to stabilize by joining the territory of Kosovo.”

Alexander Neu of the Left Party also supported the land swap, arguing that the idea is backed by two presidents, Thaci and Vucic and Russia, and some in the EU.

Manuel Sarrazin from the Greens criticized the recent role of the United States in Kosovo: “Kosovo is being treated by Mr. Trump as a colony. Not from the European Union. And we have to reject that by saying that there will be no exchange of territories, because the people in Kosovo and Serbia are against it.”

Renata Alt, of the liberal FDP, also stressed the influence of other countries in the Balkans, such as Russia, China and Turkey. She called on Western Balkans countries not to turn their backs on the EU but to continue on the path of reform.

The Bundestag first sent troops to Kosovo in June, 1999. The government has estimated the cost of their mission until 2021 at 16.63 million euros. On Wednesday, the Parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs approved the one-year extension of the mission.

Germany has consistently opposed a Kosovo-Serbia deal that would include land swap, which has been pushed forward by presidents of both countries.

EU top diplomat Josep Borrell recently stated that the union would not disapprove of land swap. However, following reactions from Kosovo against such deal, EU envoy for the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue Miroslav Lajcak contradicted his boss and assured that land swap was not and should not be on the dialogue agenda.

Αλβανία: Βουλευτής επιτίθενται εναντίον της Ελλάδας στο κοινοβούλιο

Μάιος 14, 2020. Echedoros

Ο νέος βουλευτής, Κριστάκ Πάπα,  που ανήλθε στο αξίωμα του βουλευτή ως επιλαχών στην περιοχή των Αγίων Σαράντα, από το αντιπολιτευτικό Δημοκρατικό Κόμμα- μετά την παραίτηση του κόμματος από το αλβανικό κοινοβούλιο- και φερόμενος ως επικεφαλής του λεγόμενου Κόμματος των Αλβανών Μεταναστών, προσπάθησε να τραβήξει την προσοχή του αλβανικού κοινού.



Ενώ κατηγορείται από τα αλβανικά μέσα ενημέρωσης για ανυπαρξία στο Κοινοβούλιο, έκανε την παρουσία του με τρία συνθήματα στη συνεδρίαση του αλβανικού κοινοβουλίου.


Ο Κριστάκ Πάπα (άλλοι τον θέλουν ως Χρηστάκη Παπά) ζήτησε από το αλβανικό κράτος να αντιδράσει στο θάνατο 38 Αλβανών στην Ελλάδα, είτε αυτοί ήταν βαρυποινίτες είτε κακοποιοί που σκοτώθηκαν στη διάρκεια εγκληματικών πράξεων.




«Καμία αντίδραση (δεν υπήρξε) στη διάρκεια αυτών των δύο ετών, όπου 38 Αλβανοί έχουν πεθάνει στην Ελλάδα, εξαιτίας μεγάλης βίας. Είτε ήταν σε φυλακές είτε έξω (σε πάρκα). Απαιτώ αντίδραση από το αλβανικό κράτος και το κοινοβούλιο για την προστασία των Αλβανών. Προέβην σε ενέργειες όπου είπα «σταματήστε να σκοτώνετε τους Αλβανούς στην Ελλάδα».


Ο ΟΗΕ και οι ΗΠΑ να σταματήσουν τον ελληνικό ρατσισμό στους αυτόχθονους Αλβανούς. «Τα ευρωπαϊκά δικαστήρια πρέπει να καταδικάσουν την ελληνική γενοκτονία [gjenocidin grek]» είπε.


Στο βιογραφικό του, όπως επισημαίνει η Shqiptarja,  γράφει ότι είναι «διεθνής νομικός σύμβουλος, πανεπιστημιακός ηγέτης στα θεσμικά όργανα της κοινωνίας των πολιτών, χωρίς ωστόσο να διευκρινίζει σε ποιο ίδρυμα έχει αυτήν την εμπειρία, και σε ποιες χρονικές περιόδους».


Επιπρόσθετα,  όσον αφορά τις κοινωνικές και πολιτικές δραστηριότητες, η Gazeta Si  αναφέρει ότι ο Κριστάκ Πάπα ‘προκαλεί γέλιο στο αλβανικό κοινοβούλιο’  και στο βιογραφικό του άλλαξε τις δραστηριότητες- εμπειρίες στο ενεργητικό του «…σε εθνικά και διεθνή ιδρύματα…», έτσι αόριστα.

Vucic and Serbian Partiarch Irinej express concern over bishop's arrest in Montenegro

President Vucic and Patriarch Irinej showed great concern over the detention of Bishop Ioanikie and the priest of the Serbian Orthodox Church in Montenegro

SOURCE: B92 WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 2020 | 11:55

They said that they hope that the people will act peacefully and calmly in these moments when no reasonable person wants any riots and conflicts.

According to the joint statement, the Patriarch recalled that the culmination of the hostile attitude of the state of Montenegro towards the Serbian Orthodox Church (SPC) began with the adoption of the controversial Law on Freedom of Religion with gross disregard for the SPC's demands for equal position in relation to all other churches and religious communities, including the protection of the rights that church has enjoyed for centuries.

"The fact that the law was adopted with great indignation of our people at the end of last year and early this year, and that the bishop and priests are now being arrested and detained, just proves that the Montenegrin state is persecuting the Serbian Orthodox Church," the statement added.

Vucic gave full support to Serbian Patriarch Irinej and bishops of the Serbian Church in Montenegro in their efforts to solve all the problems they face through dialogue, in a peaceful manner, with full respect for the rights and freedoms of SPC followers.

The President of Serbia said that he was convinced that Bishop Ioanikie and the other arrested priests would be released as soon as possible.

Head of Office of Kosovo and Metohija: Serbs and Albanians should decide on Kosovo fate

President Vucic has long insisted that only "two of our peoples can come up with the best solution for reconciliation and resolve the differences between the Serbian and Albanian peoples," Marco Djuric said

BELGRADE, May 13. /TASS/. The settlement of the issue of Kosovo and Metohija would have been much more successful if Serbs and Albanians had been doing this without any interference from outside, Marco Djuric, head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and Deputy of Serbian President Aleksandar Vucuc in the ruling Serbian Progressive Party, said in an interview with TASS.

"Any solution (for Kosovo and Metohija - TASS), which is not long-term and sustainable would lead to a new conflict in the near or distant future. Therefore, for all those who do not want new conflicts, a long-term and sustainable solution is the goal and has no alternative, President Vucic has long insisted that only two of our peoples can come up with the best solution for reconciliation and resolve the differences between the Serbian and Albanian peoples, and I sincerely hope that we will move towards such a solution. I see the importance for the future progress of both Serbia and its associates in the fact that President Vucic has brought up to date the wide regional cooperation and the maxim "Balkans to the Balkan peoples." Either everyone will be satisfied with the decision on the Balkans, or rather, equally dissatisfied, or there will be no decision at all," Djuric said.

"Opponents of resolving the issue of Kosovo and Metohija are those who want to have a zone of long-term instability and a frozen conflict in the Balkans, which can be unfrozen depending on individual geopolitical interests. Anyone who sincerely wants stabilization and prosperity of society in the Balkans must accept the fact that deep historical and interethnic problems in this region need to be solved by atypical methods, which implies that all decisions should be on the negotiating table. I’m sure that if the European forces that supported NATO’s aggression and the creation of a false Kosovo state in our southern autonomous region, accepted the will of the Balkan peoples and provided them [the opportunity] to solve problems independently, the solution would be closer than it is today. Today, the solution is very far away," the politician states.

According to Djuric, Serbia’s biggest advancements on the Kosovo issue is a wave of withdrawals of recognition of Kosovo’s unilaterally proclaimed independence and relevant appeals to international organizations. "Russia provided key support to Serbia in this matter, and our gratitude for this is immeasurable," the head of the office said.

Kosovo’s independence
Serbia’s autonomous province of Kosovo unilaterally declared independence in February 2008. In 2010, its independence was recognized by the International Court of Justice (CIJ). Kosovo claims to have been recognized by 117 countries so far, while Serbia says Kosovo enjoys the support of 105 nations. More than 60 countries, including Russia, China, India, Israel, Greece and Spain, oppose Kosovo’s independence.

Earlier Belgrade and Pristina discussed a compromise solution, which concerned the adjustment of borders and exchange of territories. The US supported this ideas insisting on the final agreement, which would imply the adjustment of borders of Serbia and the unrecognized republic. However Angela Merkel spoke against the change of borders on the Balkans, stressing that all countries of the region have the prospect to enter the European community in any case.

Omonoia condemns racist Albanian media against Greek minority

Omonoia condemns racist Albanian media against Greek minority 2
Albanian journalist Marin Mema in a recent show on Albania’s Top Channel, released video footage from a hidden camera inside the Greek Consulate in Argyrokastro (Αργυρόκαστρον, Albanian: Gjirokastër) in Northern Epirus, southern Albania, where conversations between an Albanian resident of the area and employees of the diplomatic service were recorded, as reported by Greek City Times.

“How are Albanian residents forced to declare being Greek in Albania? What is required of them from Omonoia? The plan is revealed by the hidden cameras and the threats of the Greek consulate,” said the introduction of the provocative show of Top Channel, which characterises the case as a “major scandal.”

Omonoia is the main organisation for the 120,000 strong indigenous Greeks of Northern Epirus, and released their own statement of the “extremely dangerous show of cultivating international hatred against the National Greek Minority” and called on the state to intervene “to prove that it is really interested in social cohesion and peace.”

The Greek organisation emphasised that Mema “is a person on a mission where his financiers, motivators and guides are now well known.”

“For the most part, this show was set up, this time using media that rejects good practices and analogous legislation on public information such as: hidden cameras, unintentional recording of the interlocutor, abuse of sick people, surveillance, etc. These ways have particularly hurt not only members of the [Greek] Unity for Human Rights Party in the recent past but the entire Albanian society,” said the statement.

“They are exposed because, first and foremost, it is the duty of the intellectuals of the time to consolidate in society other principles and values. With the first obligation to respect the different minorities. This is what the European acquis imposes, especially on Europe Day, which is even when it chose to broadcast the disgusting show,” the statement continued.

Omonoia then also called for those responsible for the video to be “held accountable for the consequences of systematic hatred cultivation against the Greek National Minority, its members and institutions.”

The Greek organisation also warned that pushing for ultra-nationalism is a “dangerous game.”

“The state must react immediately if it claims to be taking care of avoiding situations that cultivate international hatred and racism. For the most part, as is the case in favored states, it is its duty and we remind it that the protection of national and other minorities is a precondition for internal social cohesion, an inviolable condition for prosperity and progress.”

Unfortunately Albanian media and state authorities have a long history of harassing and suppressing the Greek minority in Northern Epirus.

Turkish media is full of speculation of an upcoming coup against Erdoğan

Turkish media is full of speculation of an upcoming coup against Erdoğan 2
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has already survived one coup attempt against him in 2016 that he blames on his ex-ally, Fethullah Gülen, who leads FETO Islamic movement.

Now, with the Turkish lira collapsing, three of its biggest banks at high-risk of bankruptcy, failure to invade Idlib in Syria’s northwest, continued backing of terrorists in Syria and Libya, an occupation of northern Cyprus and continued air violations against Greece and Iraq, Turkey is on the brink of economic collapse.

Making life more difficult for Erdoğan is the endless speculation in the Turkish media the past few days, that there is a coup brewing to topple the longtime Turkish leader who has been described by a German think tank as a dictator, as reported by Greek City Times.

State-run Anadolu Agency went with the headline “Reaction to the “new coup preparation” rhetoric from AK Party Özkan.”

Sabah’s headline was “Last minute! Strong reaction to CHP’s coup implications from President Erdoğan: We will not leave the square to this fascist mindset …”

Haberturk’s one was “Is there a new “coup” preparation?”

And these are just some among many.

So what happened?

The Kemalist Republic People’s Party (CHP) Istanbul Deputy Chairman Özgür Özel’s said some days ago that “the end of the Palace regime and the Palace order will come to an end. It will end all these assignments and all this unfairness that will spoil Atatürk’s bones.”

This sparked off massive speculation in Turkey that the CHP were behind an upcoming coup attempt against the Turkish president.

Erdoğan hit back and said that he will “deal with the opposition.”

“While we continue our struggle on many fronts from the epidemic to the fight against terrorism and economic attacks, we also have to deal with the opposition. We are faced with a dark mindset that applies to all roads. We will not leave this fascist mentality that can harm our country and nation to harm us. In addition to answering every slander, every distortion, we need to bring these together by explaining our own vision and actions. You have very important duties in evaluating the next opportunity,” he said.

Ratko Mladic's life threatened? "His health condition has drastically deteriorated"

Apart from the court in The Hague, Ratko Mladic is also fighting a fierce battle against anemia in the Scheveningen detention, his son Darko told the media

SOURCE: B92 MONDAY, MAY 11, 2020 | 11:31

Darko Mladic says that they received indications that Ratko Mladic's blood count (CBC test) has drastically deteriorated these days, to such extent that his life might be threatened.

"We don't have official medical documentation about that yet, but the information is indisputable. His blood count is worse than ever. It is significantly worse than the blood count he had after colon surgery at the end of March, which was really bad. It is not clear to us what is happening, because the detention medical service has always claimed that it has a positive trend after the operation and that his condition with a blood count is improving", Darko Mladic told "Vecernje Novosti".

Darko says that the Hague still does not regularly submit the general's health documentation and that they only have old findings that they received in early April:

"Based on these results, our doctors believe that Ratko needs a blood transfusion, but the doctors there did not provided that to him. We have no information whether they gave him drugs for anemia, although his blood count has not been good for months. His iron levels are terribly low”, he added.

Darko Mladic said that they were told that the operation to remove the benign tumor from the colon was surgically well done:

"However, we do not see any improvement in that regard compared to before. He is not feeling better. And the operation was forced and done in the middle of the coronavirus epidemic and with a great risk because of that virus, but also because of his bad blood picture."

On the other hand, the general has been moving less for a long time due to weakness. He talks to his family every day, but he never talks about how he feels.

"He doesn't say whether he's feeling well or not. You have to try hard to "pull" that information from him on that topic, and then he makes jokes that he's like old iron. When he calls, he likes to talk to children about family matters."

Although Ratko Mladic's health condition is obviously far from good and stable, the court ordered that a public hearing be held in mid-June on the appeals against the first-instance verdict, the paper states.

"We are also surprised by the idea that the procedure continues without everything returning to normal due to the epidemic. Various restrictions are still in force in the Netherlands. He still has no contact with his lawyers. No one can enter the prison complex yet. We visit him in custody and work with him to prepare an appeal. The trial is due to continue, and he has not had the opportunity to meet with lawyers for three months".

"The actuality of the idea of ​​'partition of Kosovo', like any other idea, can only be assessed by Belgrade and Pristina. The sustainable solution of the Kosovo issue is achievable only as a result of taking into account the balanced mutual interests, without imposing external schemes or deadlines. The main criterion for us is that the solution is acceptable for Serbia ", he said in the interview for the newspaper" Politika "of Serbia. He was asked what Russia's "red lines" are about Kosovo.

Kharchenko also said that Belgrade's demand for Moscow's involvement in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue is first and foremost.

"In this case, the negotiation process itself must take place in a reasonable and acceptable framework for us, on the basis of Resolution 1244, as it must have an acceptable form and content. I must emphasize that the results of diplomatic activities, so far, are not so obvious. On the contrary, in Kosovo now there is only more chaos ", he said.

"The final settlement of the Kosovo issue must be confirmed by the UN Security Council, through the adoption of a new resolution, which would replace Resolution 1244," he said.

Αναφέρεται μάλιστα στο Δήμο Φοινικαίων ότι «δεν χρησιμοποιεί καν την αλβανική γλώσσα ως δεύτερη γλώσσα», ενώ ο Δήμος της Δρόπολης «έχει προβεί σε διαγωνισμό για πανό και αφίσες με τον τρομοκράτη με το Καλάσνικοφ, Κατσίφα, με τα χρήματα των Αλβανών φορολογουμένων».

CIA, Greek, the second most spoken language in Albania

SManalysis


Finding out which language is spoken most in a country is very easy as it is also the official language of that state.

But the second most spoken language in a country is not always easy to find.


But Olivet Nazarene University, Business Insider writes, has conducted a wonderful study discovering which is the second most spoken language in most countries of the world. These data were obtained from the CIA's World Factbook.

Interesting is the other fact that in Albania, the second most spoken language is not English or Italian, but Greek.

Analyzing the second most spoken language in a country we can discover a lot about the history of that country or even the surrounding region.

For example, Algeria, Tanzania, and Tunisia, all of the second most widely spoken languages, are French because they were colonies in France.

While Albania has neighboring countries Greece and a large part of Albanians have emigrated there, while in our country there are also Greek minorities.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina, the second most spoken language is Croatian, in Montenegro Serbian as well as in Croatia, while in Macedonia Albanian is predominant.

Fatos Lubonja: The pandemic has strengthened Rama's power over the opposition but has weakened him economically

SManalysis

The approval of the amendments to the Criminal Code was unconstitutional. This is a coercive method of Rama, which will have consequences in the future analyst Fatos Lubonja said.

 Lubonja commented on the latest political events in the country, emphasizing that Rama's government has done very little for citizens and businesses, remaining focused on the oligarchs.

"In some respects, the pandemic has strengthened Rama's power. In relation to the opposition and the results of the pandemic itself, its power has been strengthened. What I think weakens and continues to weaken is the economic issue. The government has done very, very little. It has continued to be a government focused on the interests of oligarchs. Protests over growing authoritarianism have exploited the pandemic of growing authoritarianism. We have less democratic sensitivities than Serbia or Montenegro, less dissent, and the people are poorer, more submissive. ” - said Lubonja.


He said the entire civil society is on state payrolls being paid there. Lubonja also commented on the university elections, saying that the government is demanding the capillary capture of everything, adding that no elections can be held at a time when Albania has the wildest guarantee in Europe.

Regarding justice, Lubonja said the reform was aimed at political warfare, adding that the system was sluggish.

He also added that President Meta is getting ready for the next bargain with Rama and if that happens, the loser will be the head of state.

He assessed the incident as a fascist savagery of Bosko Obradovic and the Alliance for Serbia, and thus show that Serbia is a democratic country.

Addressing the citizens of Serbia, published on his Instagram profile, Vucic said that today the "fascist phalanxes" of Bosko Obradovic and the Alliance for Serbia physically attacked MPs, knocked them to the ground, tore their jackets, wanting to show that violence should rule in Serbia and should receive the majority support of the people.

"That is why I ask all citizens of Serbia to condemn the fascist savagery of these people in the strongest possible way and to show that Serbia is a democratic country," said Vucic.

He also encouraged all political representatives in Serbia to condemn the incident because, as he stated, politicians can differ in many ways and think differently on all issues, but fascism has never been present in Serbia.

"We could only see such incidents in the Nazi Germany in the 1930s and in the Ustasha Croatia in the 1940s," Vucic said.

He pointed out that Serbia will not allow fascism to win and that he is convinced that it will fight for the preservation of democratic values and democratic order.

"I expect the citizens to be absolutely united in condemning what happened today. And it is our obligation to fight to develop the country economically, to preserve democracy and to show on the elections who we trust and to defend and preserve the future of our children," Vucic concluded.

Greek General to NATO: “There will be an accident if Turkey continues its actions”

Greek City Times 

Greek General to NATO: "There will be an accident if Turkey continues its actions" 2
Greek General Konstantinos Floros held two teleconferences with NATO officials in which he made it clear that Turkey’s provocations in the Aegean and at Evros on the Greek-Turkish land border, will lead with mathematical precision to an accident with unforeseen consequences.

Turkey’s daily aggression against Greece are obviously well known in NATO, which systematically covers it up and protects them from international scrutiny.

The danger of an accident caused by the Turkish violations in the Aegean and more broadly by Ankara’s attitude towards Greece, was pointed out by Floros when he said “the risk of an accident and the serious consequences that such a thing will bring” is real.

More specifically, Floros held two teleconferences on Thursday.

One was at the request of the Chairman of the NATO Military Committee, Sir Stuart Peach, as part of the forthcoming meeting of the NATO Military Committee to be held on May 14, 2020.

The other was with the Deputy Commander of the Allied Powers in Europe, General Tim Radford, at his request and in the context of his recent assumption of office.

A number of issues were raised, such as the coronavirus and military issues.

Floros referred to the recent escalation caused by the immigration crisis in Evros and in the Aegean, that was orchestrated by Turkey.

He also discussed with the two NATO heads about Turkey’s delinquent behaviour in the Aegean and the Eastern Mediterranean, as seen by the daily air traffic violations of Greece’s national airspace, including overflights at Evros and on the islands, as well as the illegal marine surveys and drilling in Greece’s maritime space, and the violation of the UN-imposed arms embargo on Libya, in addition to other provocative actions.

Floros also referred to the harassment of a Greek helicopter by Turkey, which was transporting him and Minister of Defence, Nikos Panagiotopoulos, as reported by Greek City Times.

Βερολίνο.


Ο Ευρωπαϊκός Οργανισμός Προστασίας των Συνόρων- FRONTEX, προειδοποιεί για ένα νέο κύμα μεταναστών στα σύνορα Τουρκία και Ελλάδας, σύμφωνα με την γερμανική εφημερίδα  Welt, η οποία επικαλείται μια εσωτερική, εμπιστευτική έκθεση για την υπάρχουσα κατάσταση.



«Μόλις αρθούν οι περιορισμοί για τον κορωνοϊό θα υπάρξει μαζική μετακίνηση μεταναστών στα τουρκο-ελληνικά σύνορα», ανέφερε η έκθεση του FRONTEX.


Η Ευρωπαϊκή Υπηρεσία αναφέρει  ότι η πανδημία με τον Covid-19 εμπόδισε την ελληνική κυβέρνηση να εφαρμόσει το σχέδιο της  αστυνομικής ενίσχυσης στον ποταμό Έβρο.


«Η προγραμματισμένη ανάπτυξη 400 επιπλέον αστυνομικών στην περιοχή του Έβρου έχει καθυστερήσει λόγω του ιού», ανέφερε ο Οργανισμός.


Το έγγραφο του FRONTEX σημειώνει ακόμη ότι στα τέλη Φεβρουαρίου και στις αρχές Μαρτίου, χιλιάδες μετανάστες προσπάθησαν να διασχίσουν τα τουρκο-ελληνικά σύνορα.


Η πρέσβειρα της Τουρκίας στη Βουλγαρία, ανέφερε πριν μερικές ημέρες ότι δεν υπάρξει μεταναστευτική πίεση στα σύνορα της Βουλγαρίας από την Τουρκία, ενώ άφησε ανοιχτό το θέμα για τα ελληνικά σύνορα.

"It is not Grenell, Borrell and Lajcak who are changing the (Kosovo) borders"

LDK President Isa Mustafa says Pristina should not be afraid of dialogue and that foreign officials and mediators are not the ones deciding on Kosovo's borders.

"Neither Grenell, nor Borrell, or Lajcak can change borders or exchange territories," President of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Isa Mustafa, said in a post on Facebook.

The LDK President says Pristina must trust its allies, believe in the US and EU, as well as in itself.

He also believes that the Declaration of Independence of Kosovo and the opinion of the International Court of Justice are closed topics, and that Kosovo has no reason to be afraid of dialogue, Kosovo online reports.

"We must have a dialogue so that, within these borders and with the territory we have, Serbia recognizes us, to enter the UN, so that five more EU countries recognize us and then, we should join NATO," he said.

He added that this is in the interest of Kosovo, as well as a mediator from the United States and the EU, because it provides stability and opens a new perspective for economic growth.

"Στο αποκορύφωμα της διπλωματικής πίεσης για μια ειρηνική λύση, στα σύνορα μεταξύ Κοσσυφοπεδίου και Σερβίας, ο Έλληνας πρωθυπουργός Μητσοτάκης έδωσε για άλλη μια φορά το μήνυμα στην Αλβανία, η οποία όχι μόνο δεν ενδιαφέρεται για τις περιουσίες των Ελλήνων στη Χιμάρα και σε όλη την Β .

Στην ενταξιακή προοπτική της Αλβανίας στην ΕΕ αναφέρθηκε ο πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης κάνοντας αναφορά στις υποχρεώσεις της γείτονος χώρας απέναντι στη μειονότητα.

Σαφές μήνυμα ότι η Αλβανία έχει ακόμα πολλά να κάνει για την προστασία των δικαιωμάτων της ελληνικής μειονότητας έστειλε ο πρωθυπουργός Κυριάκος Μητσοτάκης που συμμετείχε στην τηλεδιάσκεψη Κορυφής του Ευρωπαϊκού Λαϊκού Κόμματος εν όψει της αποψινής τηλεδιάσκεψης Κορυφής ΕΕ - Δυτικών Βαλκανίων.

Αναγνώρισε ότι η Αλβανία έχει κάνει βήματα, ωστόσο, μένουν ακόμη πολλά να γίνουν στο ζήτημα της προστασίας των δικαιωμάτων της ελληνικής μειονότητας και στο κράτος Δικαίου.

Beyer: Kosovo-Serbia change of border dangerous, Germany’s position will not change

SManalysis


Peter Beyer, member of the German Parliament from Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats and Rapporteur for Kosovo at the Council of Europe (CoE), in an interview with Gazeta Express reiterated his position against redrawing of border between Kosovo and Serbia. He said that Germany’s position remains unchanged when it comes to idea of changing borders between the two countries.

German MP said the only task in the negotiation table between Kosovo and Serbia is reaching a comprehensive and legally binding agreement. He said that Germany in coordination with other European partners should take leading role in the dialogue process.

Gazeta Express: How do you see the statement of the EU High Representative Mr. Josep Borell and do you think that the EU should focus on a dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia that would end in mutual recognition between the two countries and not on border change or land swap ideas?

Peter Beyer: I do not know the interview by Mr. Borell. In any event, our position remains firm: No touching of the borders between Serbia and Kosovo! Period! Nobody should live under the illusion of a possible change in Germany‘s position here. That will not happen. It is clear that the mere public pondering of such a notion is contrary to the interests of peace and stability in the whole Western Balkans region. It is also not helpful, if every now and then old or new ideas are tossed into the public debate. A focus on the normalization process with the aim of a comprehensive, legally binding agreement remains the homework on the table. No news there.


Gazeta Express: Do you think that Germany should play a key role in the facilitated dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia?

Peter Beyer: As in the past, Germany remains committed to the EU accession process of the countries of the Western Balkans in general and to the normalization process between Serbia and Kosovo in particular. I agree that Germany, always in close coordination with its European partners, should take leading role in this.

Gazeta Express: As a Coordinator of Transatlantic Cooperation of the Federal Government of Germany, how do you see the role of the Special Envoy of President Donald Trump, Richard Grenell in the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia?

Peter Beyer: The United States of America are a close ally and friend of both Germany and the Republic of Kosovo. Both belong to the earliest recognizers of Kosovo as a sovereign state. There is a frequent exchange of experiences, ideas and political approaches between the USA and Germany with regard to the Western Balkans. The USA certainly understands that the integration and accession of the countries of the Western Balkans  into the European Union is foremost a genuine European issue. Only the EU can help to overcome political and historical challenges and lay the path towards an EU membership.

Yesterday as a Rapporteur for Kosovo in the Parliamentary Assembly of Council of Europe you urged political responsibility and respect for the rule of law after the Constitutional Court suspended the decree of the President of Kosovo until 29 may, to form a new coalition government.

Gazeta Express: Do you that Kosovo will overcome this institutional strangle and be ready to start the dialogue with Serbia?

Peter Beyer: The current political and constitutional crises in Kosovo come at a time where the world is hit hard by a global pandemic, resulting in an enormous hardship for the citizens of the small, poor, but proud country. I am still confident that political players will understand the signals and are lead by reason and responsibility. There must not be riots in the streets, nor in the parliament, as seen in the past. The people are suffering and need a perspective that the three crises are mastered by those in the nation‘s leading positions.

Today the EU-Western Balkans Zagreb Summit is being held, and on of the issues that people of Kosovo are still facing is the visa liberalization.

Gazeta Express: Do you think that the European Union should finally agree to give the green light for Kosovo and remove the visa regime?

Peter Beyer: Visa liberalization is overdue. I am ashamed that the EU has not delivered in this context, yet. There can be no further excuses by single member states of the EU if we do not want to put into question completely our credibility. But I also know that there is a lot of good will to make free movement for the citizens of Kosovo possible at last. /GazetaExpress/
