During September-October 2016, Interior Minister Saimir Tahiri attacked deputy Koço Kokëdhima and his media ‘Shekulli’ in several public outings. Tahiri’s attacks came after ‘Shekulli’ published a delicate series of articles related to cannabis and the severely sown situation in Albania. It was a ‘sour gift’ for Tahir and Rama, who had managed to keep the cannabis case isolated.
Reporting the site Opinion.al, October 2, 2016 What did the headache of Kokëdhima say? The paper was interpreting some prosecution actions that were finalized with the capture of several tonnes of cannabis. But the newspaper found that the prosecution was supplied with information from SHISH, while the latter, apparently, had allies in this initiative two foreign intelligence services. Hashtag.al has learned that Germany’s intelligence service had been operational since May to June, to identify the entire police hierarchy involved and defend cannabis sowing.
But in the game was the intelligent Italian service. Even the latter’s role has been embarrassing because the Italians were divided. Guardia di Finanza supports the Rama government and was interested in boycotting the investigations, while the intelligent Italian service operated in another corridor and incited investigations. The role and information of the German BND were crucial to the decomposition of the scheme and the discovery of individuals and geographical circumstances that documented the business in question. Edi Rama and Saimir Tahiri knew very well who was playing and which side they had against. It was the German BND and SHISH who were documenting the lucrative cannabis business and the implication of significant rebirth police officers.
And since June 2016, when the on-site service operational began, Prime Minister Rama leaked all of the reborn media batteries to avoid any distraction from the cannabis issue. Rama replicates with Facebook commentators on September 19, 2016 Even Rama personally spurred the debate on ‘fertilizer import’ by provoking Facebook commentators and gradually his strategy worked, less was said about cannabis and more on the issue of import of fertilizer.
Edi Rama had secured US Ambassador Lu for cannabis silence, but the EU Ambassador Vlahutin’s silence had provided the Guardia di Finanza partnership, but failed to influence the Italian intelligence service. It is the cannabis and the transformation of the Albanian government into a carton cupola, the basic reason for the Germans’ concern, which is explained by the direct engagement of the BND.
All of these developments and investigations after da’ta Rama knew in real time, but apparently he knew and Kokëdhima, who published it in ‘Shekulli’, touching the most delicate ripple ‘wires’ and breaking the silence for a issues where they did not dare to speculate either “the two ambassadors of Vetting.”
SMS for Russia
Edi Rama is the most informed official in Albania, certainly he knew that BND reports on cannabis in Albania were sent to all relevant political ranks in Germany, to Chancellor Merkel. He knows very well that the Germans have broken down the scheme of implication of his police in this business. Certainly, German officials are not afraid that the most interested person in Albania on judicial reform may be the one who commands and controls the colossal planting of drugs.
But although it appears in German intelligence reports as responsible for turning Albania into a giant drug parcel, Edi Rama is doing everything to keep this out of the public’s attention. Writer of ‘Reuters’, 28 November 2016 His Information Director, Endri Fuga, has today distributed to the pro-government media an SMS as the message of the Prime Minister.
This SMS directed journalists to a Reuters agency article, where Rama was quoted complaining of the “big difficulties” in the battle for integration as a result of the anti-EU currents that exist in the Balkans. Rama implied the Russian factor as a hindrance. Suddenly, the prime minister who has left no stoning to stop the investigation of German and SHISH services for cannabis, is telling the world and Albanians how difficult it is to integrate in the EU as a result of anti-EU pressures. (!)
This new Rama’s media thesis, besides being mediocre, is also an ugly copy of the theses commonly used by Serbian Prime Minister Vucic, who uses the Russian pressures to capture the EU as much as he does. But unlike Vucic, Rama is not using his thesis to capture anything, but just to mask the sinking of negotiations due to the country’s cannabis.
Unlike Serbia, where the Russians have a real and tangible impact, in Albania, Rama had firsthand support from the US government, and even had their ‘silent understanding’ when it came to cannabis planting. The situation is quite different. But apparently, there was a lack of understanding on the part of the German side, while BND and SHISH had the cannabis implications letters. Hashtag.al
