The mess called EUROPE

As usual, Edi Rampa maintains a position regarding the armament of Serbia, which cannot be called a national position. He declares that Albania is not worried about arming Serbia with Chinese anti-aircraft missiles, because it has them for its own defense?! From whom does the question arise? And speaking of Edi Rampa, he recently visited Germany, where he met with his counterpart, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who, among other things, told Edi Rampa that he does not know any other process than the Berlin one and this it was another nail in the coffin of the political coftina, dressed under the economic cloak called "Open Balkan"

We have just left behind another week of dramatic developments, which, in other words, are already the pieces of the new mosaic of the world order, which is gradually being settled on the globe.

Despite all predictions, whether by experts, professionals or military analysts, the war in Ukraine did not end either after 48 or after 96 hours. Today she enters her 50th day.

The Ukrainian army and territorial defense managed to stop the advance of the Russian aggressor army to occupy the capital Kiev and inflict significant losses in men and military equipment. The army withdrawn from the curfew of Kiev and the northern part of Ukraine has already reached the eastern and southern parts of Ukraine, where these days the decisive battles of this crazy Russian invasion are expected to take place.

The scale of crimes committed by Russian forces after their withdrawal from the northern part of Ukraine is appalling. For us Kosovans, very well known scenes. Innocent civilians killed and executed, women violated, children and elderly killed, infrastructure destroyed and reduced to ashes.

All this to break the Ukrainian people, to make them eventually turn against their leadership, to plant terror and fear in the core of the people and to eradicate everything that is identified with Ukrainian culture. Not coincidentally, three days ago, the US president, Joe Biden, called the Russian invasion of Ukraine genocide, and when asked by journalists whether this was an extreme escalation of rhetoric, he answered that as far as he was concerned, he has seen all the necessary evidence to call it genocide and will call it such, while international legal bodies will carry out their work with research to understand whether this unprovoked Russian war against the people and the state will be categorized as such of Ukraine.

Last Sunday the presidential elections were held in France. The current president, Macron, managed to win the first round with just less than 5 percent of the vote ahead of Marine Le Pen, who will now challenge him in the second round of the final race in two weeks for the election of the president of the France.

It is more than likely that a new mosaic piece of the new world order will be placed on Europe. The likelihood that the representative of the French extreme right, Marine Le Pen, will win this race is real and if we are based on all the actions and statements of Le Pen over the last years and days, then France and its relationship with the EU and with Dark days await NATO.

On the other hand, the current president Macron refused to align behind the American president, Biden, and call the Russian invasion of Ukraine genocidal. Whether he did so because of France's relations with Russia, his personal relationship with Putin, or simply to avoid giving ready ammunition to his opponent in the two-week campaign for the presidential race in France remains to be seen.

In Great Britain, a few days ago a fine was imposed by the British Police on Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his Minister of Finance, Rishi Sunak. The punishment has to do with breaking the law by organizing their parties during the pandemic, this law brought by these two and which many families at that time experienced with so much suffering and pain when they were unable to were visiting their relatives who were fighting for their lives from COVID-19. Even more painful is that even the funerals of their loved ones could not be held with the ceremonies that their families would have preferred in those sad days. It's not even about parties. They were forbidden, but the atmosphere in Britain was not such that anyone would have had them.

In the history of Great Britain, it is the first time that a prime minister has been fined for breaking the law, and normally people, but also the political opposition, are very frustrated and demand his removal from office. The two of them, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance, were so brazen that they even lied in Parliament that they had not organized a party, let alone participated in something like that.

Meanwhile, both of them publicly apologized for their behavior and declared that they paid the fines and that now they must look to the future since the situation is so serious in Ukraine, and therefore in Europe and the world. However, the majority of the British public, as well as the political opposition, will not be satisfied with anything less than their resignation from the positions they hold.

In Ukraine, President Zelenskyy did not accept the visit of the German President, Frank Walter Steinmeier, on the grounds that he was one of the people responsible for why Ukraine was not accepted into NATO. Also, he was a big supporter of the NORD STREAM 2 gas pipeline, which the Ukrainians strongly opposed. Although Germany has in many respects changed its course regarding its support for the war in Ukraine, support which cynically began with the donation of 5.000 helmets shortly before the start of the war until the shipments of heavy weapons now after the change of course . However, what Germany is not able to do, neither in coordination with EU, American sanctions, nor in meeting President Zelenskyy's demands, is to cut off its supply of Russian gas and oil, where 50 per percent of its economy is dependent on it. Otherwise, the Russian state is paid 1 billion euros per day for the gas supply, which it makes to the EU countries, some more or some less. However, for the moment, this remains the only engine that allows the financing and support of the army and its invasion after all the sanctions and blockades imposed by the EU countries, America and the democratic states of the world.

Despite Russian threats of consequences, Sweden will apply for NATO membership, and in all likelihood Finland, Russia's other neighbor, will also do so. According to Putin's logic, and after the Russian invasion of Ukraine to prevent the expansion and influence of NATO, the same thing should happen to Sweden and Finland. This I doubt with all my being, and this is a fact that will expose Russian hypocrisy and its expansionism under its new Putinian ideology, awakened like a vampire from a dark past that Europeans thought was a thing forgotten and surpassed. They learned nothing from the wars of the 90s in the Balkans. They continued to favor the same nationalists who caused them or were direct participants in them and in Russia with their own hands they fed these nationalists who today are committing crimes, which Europe has not seen since the end of the World War Second World War.

Serbia, on the other hand, becomes the first European country to be equipped with Chinese military missiles, and this policy of its "with all good and beneficial to all parties in the conflict" time has come to end. She will eventually have to choose which angle she will line up. With its integration in the EU or with the protection of its interests with Russia and China. The EU, as it is seen, has enough of its troubles from the member states and also from those that formed this economic and political organization of the European states to put themselves in the foot with a Serbia that wants to sit down in three chairs, preferably.

As usual, Edi Rampa maintains a position regarding the armament of Serbia, which cannot be called a national position. He declares that Albania is not worried about arming Serbia with Chinese anti-aircraft missiles, because it has them for its own defense?! From whom does the question arise?

And speaking of Edi Rampa, he recently visited Germany where he met with his counterpart, Chancellor Olaf Scholz, who, among other things, told Edi Rampa that he does not know any other process than the Berlin one and that was another nail in the coffin of the political coftina, dressed under the economic cloak called "Open Balkan".

The UN's top representative in Bosnia, Christian Schmidt, on Tuesday suspended new legislation from Republika Srpska that threatened to weaken the country's central government.

The law, approved by Republika Srpska's national assembly in February, stipulates that the Serb-majority entity can take state property on its territory.

This has caused the British Government to impose sanctions on Milorad Dodik and Zelka Cvijanovic, for their dangerous and obstructive behavior. On the other hand, Russia declares that there will be instability in Bosnia-Herzegovina, which it has been working on for a long time.

As you can see, Europe, as much as it is united, is also divided with many internal problems that only Putin can handle in these sensitive historical times for Europe and the world. In the coming weeks there will be new developments which will finally put the pieces of the mosaic in their places. Whether for better or for worse, remains to be seen.
