    Nevila Perndoj

    TIRANE- Ish-kryetari i Partisė Demokratike Eduart Selami ftohet sėrish tė flasė mbi jetėn politike shqiptare. Kėsaj here ftesa ka ardhur jo nga Partia Demokratike, por nga Shtetet e Bashkuara tė Amerikės dhe konkretisht nga Kongresi Amerikan. Burime zyrtare nga pėrfaqėsues tė delegacionit shqiptar, deklaruan dje pėr “Shekullin” se Eduart Selami ėshtė ftuar tė flasė sot nė seancėn dėgjimore tė Komisionit pėr Sigurinė dhe Kooperimin nė Europė tė Kongresit Amerikan. Tė njėjtat burime cituan se Eduart Selami do tė prekė tė gjitha pikat e axhendės nė fjalėn e tij. Arsyeja zyrtare pse e kanė ftuar Selamin, sipas burimeve, lidhet me marrjen e njė vlerėsimi mbi demokracinė nė Shqipėri parė nga kėndvėshtrimi i njė shqiptari qė jeton nė Amerikė. Ish-kryetari i PD-sė, Eduart Selami e ka pranuar me kėnaqėsi ftesėn pėr tė mbajtur njė fjalim nė kėtė komision, ndėrkohė qė prej tre vitesh ai vazhdon tė refuzojė ēdo ftesė pėr bashkėpunim qoftė edhe pėr angazhim tė tij nė strukturat e Partisė Demokratike, nga vetė lideri i opozitės Sali Berisha.
    Komisioni
    Seanca dėgjimore ku merr pjesė delegacioni shqiptar ka si qėllim tė vlerėsojė zhvillimet e fundit tė demokracisė nė Shqipėri dhe sfidat qė dalin pėrpara, ndėrkohė qė vendi pėrgatitet pėr zgjedhje parlamentare tė vitit 2005. Nė kėtė aktivitet do tė flitet edhe pėr reformat elektorale, qė sipas pėrfaqėsuesve shqiptarė, qė do tė flasin nė kėtė seancė dėgjimore, mbetet shumė e rėndėsishme nė kėtė drejtim. Sipas pjesėmarrėsve nė kėtė delegacion, komisioni do tė dėshironte tė adresonte nevojat pėr luftėn kundėr trafikut tė organizuar, qėnieve njerėzore dhe aktiviteteve tė tjera qė lidhen me respektimin e ligjit dhe reformėn nė drejtėsi. Nė kėtė aktivitet do tė kėrkohen edhe mendime pėr demokracinė nė vendin tonė dhe sfidat e sė ardhmes nė mėnyrė tė veēantė me ato hapa qė kanė tė bėjnė me luftėn kundėr krimit tė organizuar dhe korrupsionit zyrtar. Krahas Selamit, si ish-zyrtar i lartė i PD-sė, si pėrfaqėsues i opozitės nė kėtė seancė dėgjimore ėshtė ftuar kryetari i PR-sė, Fatmir Mediu. Ky i fundit ėshtė i ftuar nga kryetari i Komitetit tė Helsinkit z. Kristofer Smith lidhur me gjykimin dhe opinionin e tij nė emėr tė opozitės pėr kushtet qė ekzistojnė pėr zgjedhjet nė Shqipėri dhe hapat qė duhen ndjekur nė mėnyrė qė zgjedhjet e ardhshme tė jenė tė rregullta. Nė kėtė seancė dėgjimore ėshtė i ftuar tė marrė pjesė edhe ambasadori i OSBE-sė Osmo Lipponen, kryetari i Zyrės pėr Mbrojtjen e Qytetarėve, Kreshnik Spahiu, drejtuesi i organizatės “Mjaft”, Erion Veliaj dhe Fatos Tarifa, ambasadori i Shqipėrisė nė SHBA.

    NANO KRYQEZOHET NE KONGRESIN AMERIKAN

    Perfaqesues te shoqerise civile kane paraqitur panoramen e realitetit shqiptar

    Shoqeria civile nuk e shperdoroi aspak besimin dhe mbeshtetjen e publikut. Interesat e qytetarit kane qene dje ne qender te diskutimeve qe drejtuesit e levizjes "Mjaft!" dhe Zyres per Mbrojtjen e Qytetareve, mbajten para Kongresit Amerikan. Te thirrur ne seancen degjimore per te deshmuar rreth situates ne Shqiperi, Erion Veliaj dhe Kreshnik Spahiu u shnderruan ne ambasadoret e shpreses per shqiptaret. Tashme faktor per zhvillimin e vendit, perfaqesuesit e shoqerise civile i treguan faktorit nderkombetar pergjegjesit qe mbajne peng integrimin e vendit. Ne ekspozene gri te paraqitur para kongresmeneve amerikane, dyshja Veliaj-Spahiu ngriti dhe njehere gishtin akuzues drejt klases politike shqiptare dhe konkretisht dy krereve kryesore, Fatos Nano dhe Sali Berisha. Pamundesia per te permbushur standardet euroatlantike, perben per keta te fundit jo mungese vullneti dhe deshire nga ana e popullit shqiptar, por nje produkt te kulisave politike ku luhet e ardhmja e shqiptareve. Drejtori i "Mjaft!", Veliaj, ne vazhden e qendrimeve te tij te meparshme tha se per fat te keq, politikanet shqiptare ende nuk kane arritur te marrin rolin e udheheqesit ne kete proces. Gjate deshmise se tij, nder te tjera ai theksoi se ndryshimet e bera ne Shqiperi gjate dekades se fundit nuk sigurojne hapesirat e nevojshme per te perhapur idete demokratike. "Te rinjte shqiptare veshtire se e shikojne si model ndonjerin prej figurave politike kryesore te Shqiperise, si Nanon ashtu dhe Berishen. Politikat e deshtuara kane bere qe te shuhen shpresat tek te rinjte", vuri ne dukje Veliaj. Por folesi tjeter ne kete seance, Kreshnik Spahiu, drejtor i ZMQ-se, shkoi dhe me larg me akuzat e tij. Duke kritikuar ashper qeverine lidhur me depertimin e krimit te organizuar ne strukturat e larta shteterore, ai do te etiketonte kreun e saj si te paafte per te mbajtur flamurin ne luften ndaj ketyre fenomeneve. Madje brenda kornizes se ketij diskutimi ai nuk ngurroi as te parashtronte shembujt perkates qe e justifikonin kete konstatim. "Industria e ndertimit qe aktualisht po njeh nje "boom" ne Shqiperi, thuhet se lulezon pergjithesisht me ane te parave te zyrtareve te korruptuar qe jane te lidhur me strukturat e pastrimit te parave", argumentoi ai. Ne listen e gjate te problemeve qe trajtuan gjate fjales se tyre, si Veliaj ashtu edhe Spahiu, u munduan te arsyetonin drejt rreth hapave perpara qe ka hedhur aktualisht Shqiperia. Komentet e tyre objektive kishin si synim final pasqyrimin e proceseve transformuese nen syrin e ftohte te realistit. Nepermjet fjales se tyre, ata argumentuan drejt rolin negativ qe ka luajtuar gjate ketyre 13 vjeteve tranzicion politika shqiptare. Sipas dyshes Veliaj-Spahiu stanjacioni i reformave ne vend, korrupsioni ne administrate, trafiqet e qenieve njerezore etj, ishin produkt i politikave te deshtuara. Ndaj per kete qellim ata akuzuan klasen politike shqiptare ne teresi jo veem per prishjen e imazhit ne bote, por dhe per nje mungese te qarte vullneti per ta ndryshuar kete realitet. Per keto arsye, ata vune ne dukje angazhimin e rinise shqiptare per ta transformuar kete gjendje te pashprese, produktet e se ciles i parashikuan te aferta. Nepermjet ketij qendrimi te mbajtur para Komisionit amerikan te Helsinkit, "Mjaft!" dhe ZMQ-ja treguan se per momentin jane nder te vetmit aktore ne Shqiperi qe luajne fort per te ardhmen e vendit.

    Liponen

    Osmo Liponen, kryetar i Prezences se OSBE-se ne Shqiperi deshmoi gjithashtu ne kete seance. Ai tha se megjithe treguesit makroekonomike qe pergjithesisht kane qene pozitive, ne Shqiperi u duhet kushtuar vemendje e metejshme faktoreve social-ekonomike qe perbejne rrezik. "Konsolidimi i shtetit e ka vene situaten e rendit nen kontroll, por korrupsioni galopant ne administraten publike dhe ne sektoret juridike demton besimin e publikut. Nje faktor tjeter rreziku eshte krimi i organizuar, i cili perfiton nga dobesite e vazhdueshme ne sistemin e policise e te drejtesise ne Shqiperi", nenvizoi Liponen duke sqaruar dhe shkaqet qe kane cuar drejt ketyre rezultateve regresive. Nder faktoret e ndryshem qe trajtoi gjate analizes se tij, kreu i OSBE-se si me te rendesishmen per permiresimin e kesaj situate do te veconte normalizimin e atmosferes politike. "Pa nje atmosfere te tille, ku forcat politike dhe institucionet te balancojne njera-tjetren, zhvillimi demokratik i vendit nuk do te jete i plote", argumentoi Liponen. Ai i beri gjithashtu thirrje komunitetit nderkombetar qe te angazhohet kolektivisht, per te ndihmuar me energjikisht Shqiperine ne procesin e zgjedhjeve. Lidhur me kete sugjerim ai nuk harroi te theksoje dhe nje nderveprim me te madh midis pozites dhe opozites. Pasi vetem keshtu sipas Liponen do te mund te menjanoheshin ndasite dhe percarjet politike ne interes te qeverisjes se vendit. Nje ceshtje tjeter qe shtruan anetaret e Komisionit te Helsinkit ishte nese shqiptareve u dergohet apo jo i njejti mesazh nga aktoret e ndryshem nderkombetare persa u perket zgjedhjeve te ardhshme parlamentare qe do te zhvillohen ne vitin 2005. Kreu i Prezences lidhur me kete pyetje pohoi ekzistencen e nje bashkepunimi mjaft te Ndersa nga ana e tij ambasadori i Shqiperise ne Uashington, Fatos Tarifa preferoi ta mos ta konfiguronte kaq gri realitetin ne vend. Sipas tij Shqiperia eshte zhvilluar mjaft vitet e fundit si dhe jane realizuar nje numer arritjesh qe pjesa me e madhe e te huajve nuk i dine. "Keto arritje mund te shihen ne ekonomi, ne ligjin e pronesise si dhe persa i perket tolerances fetare, te drejtave te pakicave dhe ne legjislacionin e zgjedhjeve. Ndersa korrupsioni si fenomen nuk u shpik tani madje ju kujtoj dhe nje sere masash qe qeveria shqiptare po ndermerr ne lufte kunder tij, nenvizoi Tarifa. Si pjese te ketij dekori roze ai nuk do te neglizhonte as rezultatet ne rritje te ekzekutivit shqiptar ne luften kunder trafikut te qenieve njerezore. "Dua t'iu permend nje deklarate te Departamentit Amerikan te Shtetit ku thuhes se sipas eksperteve rajonale dhe nderkombetare roli i Shqiperise si vend tranzit per trafikun drejt Europes Perendimore ka rene ndjeshem, vuri ne dukje ambasadori. Nje foles tjeter Fatmir Mediu, kryetar i Partise Republikane u perqendrua tek ceshtja e zgjedhjeve ne Shqiperi duke thene se problemi me i madh qe nuk po e lejon Shqiperine te hyjne ne rrugen demokratike esht-_ shqiptaret nuk kane mundesine per te votuar ne zgjedhje te lira e te ndershme. Nje nga deshmimtaret e tjere ishte dhe Eduart Selami, ish drejtues i larte i PD-se ne Shqiperi gjate vitet '90.

    Kongresi i SHBA, shuplakė qeverisė

    “SHBA tė ndryshojė politikėn e stabilitetit pėr Shqipėrinė”

    Nevila Perndoj

    TIRANE-Zgjedhjet qė do tė mbahen nė Shqipėri vitin e ardhshėm, polarizimi politik, krimi i organizuar, korrupsioni dhe trafiqet e paligjshme ishin ndėr temat e njė seance dėshmish tė mbajtur dje nė Uashington nga Komisioni amerikan i Helsinkit, njė agjenci e pavarur federale qė vėzhgon dhe inkurajon hapat e bėra nė zbatimin e marrėveshjeve tė Helsinkit pėr Sigurimin dhe Bashkėpunimin nė Evropė. Komisioni pėrbėhet nga 9 senatorė, 9 anėtarė tė Dhomės sė Pėrfaqėsuesve dhe nga njė zyrtar nga Departamenti i Shtetit, i Mbrojtjes dhe i Tregtisė. Por kanė qenė pėrfaqėsuesit e shoqėrisė civile dhe forcave politike nė vend, qė i dhanė dje qeverisė shqiptare njė shuplakė tė rėndė, gjatė fjalės qė mbajtur nė seancėn dėgjimore, nė Kongresin Amerikan. Lidhjet e politikės me krimin dhe korrupsioni i shtrirė nė gjithė vendin, sipas kryetarit tė lėvizjes “Mjaft” Erion Veliaj, dhe drejtorit tė Zyrės pėr Mbrojtjen e Qytetarėve, Kreshnik Spahiu, pėrbėjnė kėrcėnimin serioz ndaj stabilitetit tė vendit. Nė veēanti Veliaj ka kėrkuar revizion tė politikės shqiptare dhe marrjen e masave konkrete pėr zgjedhjet e ardhshme parlamentare. Veliaj i bėri dje thirrje Kongresit tė Shteteve tė Bashkuara qė tė lėshojė njė Rezolutė mbi Zgjedhjet nė Shqipėri duke kėrkuar kėshtu njė proces tė rregullt elektoral politik dhe teknik me etike. Ai kėrkoi gjithashtu qė anėtarėt e qeverisė tė mos pranojnė dhurata nė qindra mijėra dollarė. “Anėtarėt e qeverisė nuk duhet tė pranojnė dhurata tė cilat llogariten nė qindra mijėra dollarė maksimumi tė lejuara. Duhet tė ketė njė ndarje tė qartė mes zyrtareve publike dhe sipėrmarrjeve private. Ata qė janė nė kundėrshtim ndaj masave tė tilla, duhet tė sillen pėrpara drejtėsisė me shpejtėsinė mė tė madhe dhe kjo nuk duhet tė pėrjashtojė as zyrtarė tė rangut tė lartė”, -tha Veliaj. Ai shtoi gjithashtu se mbėshtetja e Shqipėrisė si rezultat i aleancės sė saj nė koalicionin e antiterrorizmit nuk duhet tė shėrbejė si justifikim pėr padrejtėsitė qė ndodhin nė tė. “Mbėshtetja e Shqipėrisė pa kurrfarė interesi ndaj pėrpjekjes internacionale nuk duhet nė asnjė mėnyrė tė merret si mbėshtetje ndaj njė kaste politike, e cila pėrveēse ėshtė treguar e shkathėt pėr t'i rėnė borisė sė antiterrorizmit, ėshtė njė “disaster” (shkatėrrim) kur vjen fjala pėr ēėshtjet nė shtėpinė e saj. Kėta janė tė njėjtėt zyrtarė, politikat dėshtake tė cilėve po rrisin injorancėn dhe analfabetizmin nė vend, tė cilat siē e dimė shumė mirė mund tė shndėrrohen nė njė toke pjellore pėr fondamentalizmin. Shpeshherė, zyrtarėt amerikanė vėnė nė dukje stabilitetin nė Shqipėri si justifikim ndaj pranimit tė status quo-sė politike. Nėse kjo ėshtė realisht politika e qeverisė sė Shteteve tė Bashkuara, atėherė ka ardhur koha e volitshme pėr tė rekomanduar njė revizion politik ndaj Shqipėrisė”, -ėshtė shprehur ai
    Ndėrsa drejtori i Zyrės pėr tė Drejtat e Qytetarėve, Kreshnik Spahiu tha se krimi i organizuar ka depėrtuar nė strukturat e larta tė shtetit. Ai tha se, “Shqipėria ėshtė pėrfshirė nga njė bum ndėrtimesh ku nė njė pjesė tė konsiderueshme bėhet pastrim parash prej zyrtarėve tė korruptuar apo tė trafikantėve tė drogės dhe qėnieve njerėzore”. “Ambicjet e kėtyre individėve pėr t’u pėrfshirė nė politikė dhe pėr tė zotėruar njė pjesė tė mediave e ka vėnė demokracinė shqiptare nė udhėkryq. Nėse deri dje dyshohej pėr lidhje tė krimit me politikėn sė shpejti rrezikojmė qė tė mos dallojmė njėrėn nga tjetra pėr shkak tė pėrfshirjes nė politikė tė individėve qė duhet tė pėrballen me drejtėsinė”, -tha ai. Ndėrsa kryetari i republikanėve Fatmir Mediu u pėrqėndrua tek ēėshtja e zgjedhjeve nė Shqipėri duke theksuar se problemi mė i madh qė nuk po lejon Shqipėrinė qė tė futet sėrish nė rrugėn demokratike ėshtė se shqiptarėt nuk kanė mundėsi pėr tė votuar nė zgjedhje tė lira dhe tė ndershme.
    Komisioni
    Zgjedhjet parlamentare dhe lufta kundėr krimit tė organizuar ishin ēėshtjet qė u prekėn dje nga anėtarėt e Komisionit tė Helsinkit tė Kongresit Amerikan. Sipas radios “Zėri i Amerikės”, kryetari i Komisionit tė Helsinkit nė Kongresin Amerikan, Kristofor Smith theksoi gjatė seancės dėgjimore se, pavarėsisht marrėdhėnieve tė mira mes dy popujve, komisioni ėshtė veēanėrisht i shqetėsuar pėr trafikun njerėzor. Ndėrsa kryetari i Prezencės sė OSBE-sė, Osmo Lipponen, po sipas raportit nga radio “Zėri i Amerikės”, theksoi se megjithėse treguesit makro-ekonomikė nė Shqipėri kanė qenė pėrgjithėsisht pozitiv, i duhet kushtuar vėmendje e mėtejshme faktorit social-ekonomik qė po bėhet rrezik nė vend. Sipas tij, korrupsioni galopant nė administratėn publike dhe nė sektorin juridik dėmton rėndė vlerėsimin e publikut. Njė tjetėr faktor, sipas Lipponen, ėshtė edhe krimi i organizuar, i cili po fiton nga dobėsitė e vazhdueshme nė sistemin e policisė dhe tė drejtėsisė nė Shqipėri. Ndėrsa Nikolla Pano, profesor i Historisė nė Universitetin “Western Ilinoi” theksoi se partitė politike duhet tė japin njė pėrparėsi mė tė lartė pėrgatitjes pėr zgjedhjet, duke mėsuar nga gabimet e sė kaluarės. Gjatė seancės, anėtari i Dhomės sė Pėrfaqėsuesve Frank Wolf shprehu preokupim pėr gjendjen e trafikut njerėzor nga Shqipėria, e cila tha ai duket se mbetet e rėndė. Ai shprehu shqetėsim edhe pėr fenomenin e largimit tė trurit nga Shqipėria si dhe pėr varfėrinė midis shtresave tė caktuara tė popullatės.

    Statement of Mr. Eduard Selami, Former Chairman of the Democratic Party of Albania



    Commission on Security and Cooperation on Europe

    Hearing: Advancing Democracy in Albania

    July 20, 2004


    Mr. Chairman, staff, ladies, and gentlemen, thank you for the opportunity to share with you my thoughts about the state of democracy in Albania. I highly appreciate the fact that this distinguished panel is holding this hearing, which, while not scheduled in response to a specific event, is timely nonetheless. First and foremost, Albania is preparing for parliamentary election next year, the results of which will have important ramifications for the future course of the country. Second, Albania is preparing to join NATO, the U.S.-led organization that provides security and stability in Europe. Therefore, I think it is important for the U.S. to help Albania in its difficult road towards a fully fledged democracy, given that it is a country in which, like in not many other European countries, it is so difficult to find people with anti-American feelings, and which is a staunch U.S. ally in the war on terrorism.

    I would like to pay tribute to the wonderful work this commission has done for the advancement of democracy in Europe, and especially in Albania. Being an Albanian, I can never forget the important role the Helsinki Commission played in helping my country in its very first steps towards democracy. This, at a time when only few people here in Washington or in other Western capitals paid any attention to Albania, or even knew that it existed on the international map.

    Mr. Chairman, staff, ladies, and gentlemen, since the last hearing this Commission has held on Albania, the country has experienced both negative and positive developments. The total collapse of government following a pyramid scheme financial scandal in 1997 was a major set back in the democratic process in Albania. Albania is still paying a price for the economic ruin and the political chaos that followed that scandal. That tragic event emphasized how important is for a country to make democracy the only game in town. It demonstrated that democracy in Albania, even after initial dramatic progress, was very fragile. Since then, The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe deployed a mission in Tirana, which has been very helpful in restoring stability in the country and get democratic development back on track.

    I would like to focus my testimony on two major issues: on free and fair elections and on the need for a healthy political discourse. The first is a minimum requirement for any functioning democracy. The second has a major impact on the ongoing democratic process and the establishment of the rule of law in Albania.

    Since 1994, no elections in Albania have been declared free and fair by the OSCE or the losing parties. This is one of the major factors that keep many Albanian voters away from the polling booths, and one of the causes for the very polarized political climate. The two major parties have agreed to work on improvements of election law and infrastructure. Yet, it remains to be seen if they will have the political will of conducting a normal electoral process. I think, this commission, the State Department, and the OSCE presence in Tirana can play a very important role in convincing both the parties in power and in opposition to abide by their agreements. The more voters get the message that each vote would count, the more they would show up at the polling stations.

    There are several areas that require improvement in the electoral process, which are already addressed by OSCE reports on Albania. I would like to mention one, which strikes me as very important: the counting of votes. The political parties in Albania should reach an agreement on a formula that would make this process completely transparent. Without getting into technicalities, I think this is feasible. It only requires a strong political will, shared by all parties.

    This will can exist only if Election Day is not seen as a life-or-death matter for political parties. In other words, it should be seen as a milestone in the ongoing democratic process and as an opportunity for voters to choose the party with the best platform for the development of the country and the most reliable people to implement it.

    Having been in a leadership position in Albania, I am fully aware that the democratic process is not always easy, especially in a country which has had very little experience in democracy. However, the democratic process is indispensable for the well-being of Albania. Unfortunately, all the major political parties have demonstrated that they do not always respect the democratic process, both within parties and among them. I think part of the problem arises from a cultural tradition where political opponents are considered as personal enemies. This has created an environment of extreme polarization, and much of the valuable energy has been wasted fighting among politicians and in between parties.

    It is especially the responsibility of the governing party to concentrate its energy in building and strengthening the legal, social and economic framework for a sustaining democracy. After all, it was elected in office to serve and address the needs of the people. Instead, its leaders have focused their energies on their in-fighting for political power, an in-fighting that has been a major factor in slowing down democratic reforms.

    Besides the political bickering between political rivals, another issue which seems to take a large portion of undeserved attention of some governing party officials is the advancement of self-interest. As a result, official corruption, as perceived by the common citizen, has become widespread. It seems as if they do not realize that public office, in addition to being an honor, it is also a responsibility to the people who voted for them, and a responsibility to the ideal of democracy.

    For a functioning democracy to work, it is important that both the governing and opposition parties play a major role in strengthening democratic institutions. It is encouraging that, in the past, there have been a few instances when the Socialist Party has allowed the opposition parties to have a say in major issues: the most telling example being the election of the President of the Republic with a wide consensus across party lines.

    On the other hand, the opposition parties can help strengthen the democratic process by offering not only deserved criticism towards government but also alternatives for improving the life of ordinary citizens. The Democratic Party, the major opposition party in Albania, has not always focused its attention on providing alternatives. However, it is encouraging to see that, in the last year, its leaders have publicly solicited ideas from the civil society, academia, media, and the business community. It is also encouraging to hear from the Democratic Party officials that they would like to see new people in party leadership positions. What they are looking for, it looks like, is people with Western education and/or experience, who would implement the party’s political platform.

    It is important that they pursue this course. I think the opposition should spend more time looking towards the future: what can be improved, if elected, and how it can be done. The opposition should give real alternatives to people and convince them that it represents the best choice. It should try to bring into the democratic process people that feel left behind. It needs to focus its main energies on the real issues facing Albanian people like unreliable power and water supply, official corruption, high crime rate, unemployment, poor public education, and lack of decent and affordable health care.

    Fully aware of the challenges that lay ahead, I remain optimistic that the best days for Albanian democracy and people lay ahead. And even in the darkest day I never lost faith and confidence in the Albanian people’s ability to overcome obstacles and to bring out the best in any situation. After all, it is the people who gave the world somebody that was the symbol of goodness -- Mother Theresa.

    Thank you very much for the opportunity to appear before you today.

    July 20, 2004

    Mr. Chairman, Commission members, ladies, and gentlemen, thank you for inviting the MJAFT Civic Movement to address you today and for convening a hearing on the important and timely topic of advancing democracy in Albania when our country is preparing for a very crucial election season. It has been seven years since the last hearing was held by this Commission on the topic of democracy in Albania, and given the increasingly worrying allegations of government misconduct in its dealings with the media and civil society, as well as accusations of wide-spread official corruption, this hearing could not have come in a better time.

    POLITICAL SITUATION

    Since the early 1990’s, two parties have dominated the political scene in Albania, the former communist Labor Party renamed the Socialist Party (SP), and the Democratic Party (DP), the first party to emerge after pluralism was introduced. In reality, the scene is rather dominated by the two leaders of the respective parties Fatos Nano, currently the premier, and Sali Berisha of the DP. The first is known for his alleged corruption scandals and the second for his obstructionism.

    Unfortunately, Albania belongs to the minority club of countries whose political scene is still dominated by the same two people who did so in the early 90’s. At this point of Albania’s development, all democratic principles are reduced to hollow rhetoric towards militants and propaganda ribbon-cutting. The population is exhausted from the barren and often petty political fighting. If there was one message all of our support base at home would unify behind, it would be to usher the peaceful exit of the old guard out of Albanian politics.

    As you may well know, Albania is indeed a solid ally in the campaign against terrorism. I can testify that there is an overwhelming support from the Albanian population, mostly Muslim, for the United States throughout this effort, including the sending of our own soldiers to Afghanistan and Iraq. You should bear in mind that Albanians at home and abroad would unconditionally support the US effort in a just cause under any government at home.

    However, one point needs some clarification. Albania’s unconditional support for the international effort should in no way be translated into support for a political caste that other than being quick into touting the anti-terrorist horn is ruinous for its own country. These are the very same officials, whose failing policies are breeding ignorance and illiteracy in the country, factors which as we know too well can easily become a greenhouse for fundamentalism.

    Often, US officials point out to Albania’s stability as a justification for accepting the political status quo. If this is an actual policy of the US Government, then time is certainly ripe to recommend a policy revision. Having studied in and having been shaped from the political tradition of the United States, I would be disappointed to learn that the temporary stability in Albania has a higher price than that of true democracy, and that support for the just cause against terrorism is reciprocated with support to a group actively ‘promoting’ state capture and intimidation of free media and civil society. Albania cannot be an effective partner in the war on terrorism if it loses its democratic values in the process. Just like the people of Israel, who heading out of bondage in Egypt rushed to slave themselves to an idol for lack of knowing no better than to be under bondage, the old Albanian caste knows no better than to slave to the old communist ways. I strongly recommend that the United States seek to adopt a policy that encourages the participation of young people into politics, as the only solid hope for democratic transformation and development.

    ELECTIONS & PARLIAMENT

    All of us in the MJAFT Movement believe in accountability in politics. But how can you make an elected official be accountable to his constituents when he does not need them to be reelected? How do you do that when the electoral process, the corner stone of representative democracy, is twisted?

    Two thousand years ago Cesar, Emperor of Rome, got Mary and Joseph to leave Nazareth and go to Bethlehem for the registration of the population. Two thousand years later, in the age of computers, the Albanian Government cannot manage to complete such a simple task as is the registration of less than 3 million people. One can easily conclude that the issue is not a matter of ability but rather of lack of interest. At present, no parties in parliament have shown a real resolve in demanding that such thing happen.

    For as long as people are not counted, all parties would try squeezing votes everywhere they have a strong election commissioner. Such behavior has become repetitive and expected in Albanian elections. Therefore, Albanian politics has shifted far from representing the interests of citizens to merely representing strictly personal or shallow party interests. Recent important votes in parliament have had outcomes contrary to the wish of most Albanians. These include the striking down of proposals to ban the import of unclassified waste in the country, legislation to compensate the former political prisoners, bills to recognize the case of the Chams (Albanian Muslims expelled from Greece during WWII) whose property was confiscated by the Greek government, and initiatives to ultimately settle the private property return legislation and numerous others. The rejection of these bills has certainly alienated the majority of the Albanian public.

    The new electoral code has been hailed by most international organizations, and yet the last elections did not show any major improvement in the quality of elections. Local election commissions in the polling stations have created most of the problems that can be divided in two different categories: political and technical.

    The commissioners are highly politicized and every chance they get, they cheat. They are in close watch and they constantly receive orders from their political party headquarters. Most of the time, instructions to twist, ruin, or boycott the process have come from the party headquarters. Much of this has to be expected when the people who are running for office command the people judging the race. Most commissioners have little or no capacities and are poorly trained as their major selection criteria is not their expertise or professionalism but their militantism, and ability to cheat or at least secure they are not cheated on. As result, a vast number of technical problems arise. Commissioners don’t always know where the ballot boxes go and how they are to be sent there, how the protocols should be signed and how should the boxes be sealed. Such technical problems were one of the major reasons that the last local elections in Tirana where heavily contested.

    In the voting registration process during the last election, political parties were awarded the right to register or un-register people without necessarily having the consent of the citizens to be (re)moved. This action has also lead to massive chaos during voting day and the aftermath has become a subject of public outcry, as noticed in the OSCE/OHDIR report.

    It is rather obvious, that the fair political competition is sharply curtailed given this modus operandi. The current trend for competition has degenerated into an obscene race of people who can impose financial and/or criminal influence on the communities. One should not be surprised at the unethical inter-party race, as much of it has its roots in the lack of democracy within parties. Unlike others, the Socialist Party boasted a certain degree of competition amongst party ranks. As of last December much of that has now become obsolete, given the stage-management of that congress as observed by the Economist Intelligence Unit report.

    The MJAFT Movement appeals to the US Congress to approve a resolution on Albania’s elections as soon as possible, calling for a politically ethical and technically sound process. It is important that the following benchmarks are met by December 2004:

    1. Registration process completed in full
    2. Lists updated with citizens’ consent
    3. Commissions shifting from guaranteeing the parties’ right to collecting votes to the citizens’ right to vote and be accounted for.

    If these conditions are not met, Albanians will continue to alienate themselves from the electoral process, as proven in last year’s election, in which participated less than 50 % of voters, an all-time low.

    OFFICIAL CORRUPTION

    As we speak, widespread corruption and organized crime continue to be serious threats to the stability and progress of the country. According to the 2003 Transparency International Corruptions Perceptions Index, Albania has a score of 2.5 out of 10 (where a country free of perceived corruption receives 10 points on the scale), ranking poorly 92nd out of 133 countries.

    MJAFT was keen to applaud the passing of the “Law on Declaration and Control of Assets” for public and elected officials. With US Government backing this law, it had the potential to bring significant change in Albania’s corruption score. Instead, it experienced the fate of many such sound laws: it was poorly implemented.

    Premier Nano was the first to declare receipts of gifts amounting to several hundred thousand dollars for a car and an illegally built apartment building. In response to allegations on the illegal financial sources of such ‘free lunches’, the Premier insisted the gifts came from companies such as Mercedes-Benz. While that company denied such involvement, the Albanian public witnessed another shameful chapter in mal-governance routine.

    Many cabinet members have direct conflicts of interest with the private businesses they run on the side. This is the case for high officials that regulate telecommunication, agriculture, and food imports. The prime minister’s wife is often at the center of allegations for using public office to advance semi-legitimate business interests.

    At this stage, the Albanian government desperately needs to correct its corruption record and the evident mode of ‘state capture’. Members of government should not accept gifts exceeding hundreds of thousands of dollars. There should be clear separations between an official’s public duties and his/her private enterprises. Those in violation of such measures, should be brought to justice with highest expediency, and should not exclude high-ranking officials.

    Support to Albania due to its alliance with the anti-terrorist Coalition should not make up for the misdeeds at home. We are daily witnesses to how the image of the United States in Albania has suffered from US officials’ support - even though half-hearted - to a corrupt administration in Tirana. I was taught in this country’s schools and by this country’s representatives that good ethics are fundamental to a healthy political system, and thus, I urge you to not compromise these values when judging on the relationship with the Albanian government. In return, you shall have the support and gratitude of the Albanian people.

    MEDIA & CIVIL SOCIETY

    After a crisis in 1997 - triggered by the collapse of the so-called pyramid banking schemes - toppled Albania’s right-wing government, many hoped the new Socialist administration, unlike their predecessors, would not put pressure on the media and civic groups. In fact, in the last seven years of left-wing rule, pressure on the media has mounted only in the recent years. Today, Nano’s coalition government is almost routinely filing legal charges against publishers, journalists and civic groups. The recent multiple charges towards MP and Publisher of Koha Jone, Nikolle Lesi, for publishing official government decisions in which Premier Nano awarded himself 5 bonus salaries; the charges against Tema publisher Mero Baze for questioning the business activities of the Prime Minister’s wife; and the ongoing intimidation of Shekulli newspaper for having uncovered an illegal lucrative agreement to import unclassified waste into Albania are all sufficient evidence of the crack down on media. Additionally, charges against the MJAFT Movement for having peacefully and lawfully protested against the government’s decision to award the title and office of the ‘First Lady’ to the Premier’s wife, has shown the government’s lack of tolerance to freedom of expression.

    However, direct pressure from the courts is only one of the pressures the media in Albania faces today. Given the poor economic state, the survival of 20 daily newspapers, together selling a total of only 60,000 copies, in a population of 3 million, is always a challenge. Given the absence of infrastructure, the Albanian press does not reach more than half of the country’s territory. And, there are no attempts by the government to stimulate public information to these parts of the population.
    Many media outlets survive only from the advertising of government institutions or state-owned companies, such as Albtelecom and the Albanian Electrical Corporation. As these are monopolies, which hardly need advertisements, in reality the offer of advertising is a useful carrot, which the government uses in its dealings with the media to ensure favorable coverage.
    When the press and civil society get too critical of the government’s wrongdoings, they are at minimum guaranteed ‘visits’ and intimidation from Financial Police and more recently the government even engages in all out campaigns to sabotage the financing of such media and civic groups.
    While we applaud government’s efforts towards combating fiscal evasion, this undertaking should not turn into a means of intimidation for those who dare question public (and the more often private) state policies. They should be no excuse to ignore the fundamental rights to freedom of speech and expression. It is thus urgent, if not too late, that the government cease all efforts to intimidate the media and immediately halt its slander campaigns towards groups like MJAFT (ENOUGH) and others.

    TRAFFICKING

    A degree of success has been achieved in reducing the problem. One needs more time to evaluate real success. As the January 9, 2004 tragedy demonstrated (21 would-be illegal immigrants died off the Adriatic coast), the problem is still there and police forces are highly involved in such trafficking in levels of organizing and facilitating the process.

    The matter became an issue of public outcry and a series of protests, which MJAFT lead in January. Since then, no serious prosecution work has been made on this issue demonstrating the high level of politically backed individuals involved in trafficking.
    Fighting organized crime is a buzz word used for political leverage and international faēade but no signs of a serious commitment to fight it and to break the ties of crime with politics, or the law enforcement institutions, have been visible so far. Hardly anyone has been prosecuted for such crimes and a number of police operations have failed due to information leakage by the authorities themselves. Much of the ‘catch’ the government parades as ‘organized crime’ would most likely qualify as ‘small fish’.


    RULE OF LAW

    According to Stabilization and Association Report for 2004 the Rule of Law in Albania remains deficient. Albanian law enforcement bodies do not yet guarantee consistent enforcement of the law, in accordance with international standards. The rule of law remains adversely affected by the weaknesses of the judicial system and public administration, as well as by organized crime and corruption.

    Despite some limited improvements, the Albanian judicial system remains weak. The professional capacities of judges, prosecutors, judicial police and administrative staff remain limited, and infrastructures and equipment are inadequate. As a consequence, the overall performance of the judicial system is poor, as is its perception amongst the general public.

    The overall lack of transparency and impartiality affects other important aspects of judicial operations including case management within prosecution offices and courts, and the assignment of cases to judges and prosecutors. Moreover, the courts do not regularly publish court decisions and the availability of those published is not sufficiently wide.
    The systematic publication of court sentences would increase transparency and contribute to decisions of higher quality.

    However, the daunting challenge of the Albanian legal system is dealing with the issue of blood feuds, concerning the North of Albania and affecting more and more the rest of the country. Hundreds of families remain locked at home for fear of revenge killings, being deprived of basic human rights to movement, education, employment and over all the right to life itself. We can not be more firm when we seek of this Congress to exercise any and all pressure on the Albanian government on a solution for the lives of thousands under blood feuds. This middle-age scenario must cease NOW!

    CONCLUSION

    To conclude on a positive note, the Albanian society has been constantly developing. One cannot help but notice the positive change in people’s mentality, the will to work hard and become a dignified part of the Western civilization, where Albania naturally belongs. Unfortunately, the Albanian political elites have failed to take the leadership role in promoting this change. Instead, they have become a stumbling block for progress. Hardly any young Albanian looks up at any of our senior political figures as a role model. Youth have a hard time building visions and setting goals of pursuing a future and starting families in Albania. Failed politics have killed many hopes, visions and dreams of young people abroad, who aspire to return back to their country and contribute with the education they have received in the West.

    Despite all these setbacks, please rest assured of our commitment to remain a strong advocate for the people of Albania. The mere fact of us being the voice of Albanian youth here today, brings great encouragement and rekindles hope for all of us.

    As you consider acting upon these comments and recommendations, please bear in mind that cutting foreign assistance or disenchanting NATO and the EU from Albania, at this stage, harms the Albanian people more than it does irresponsible politicians. However, political support to any group should be based on their democratic performance rather than acts of political convenience.

    For all your interest and commitment to advance democracy in Albania, on behalf of all Albanians here and abroad, I owe you much gratitude.

    NIKOLA PANO: NANO NUK ESHTE I SINQERTE NDAJ SHBA-SE

    Nikola Pano, profesor historie ne universitetin amerikan te "Eestern Illinois".

    Ne Shqiperi ekziston nje situate shume e ngjashme si ajo e vitit 1991. Kemi po ata aktore politike. Sali Berisha eshte kryetar i Partise Demokratike, udheheqes i opozites nje pozite qe ai e kishte ne vitin '91. Fatos Nano, kryeministri i fundit komunist, i cili pastaj fitoi zgjedhjet dhe me vone u detyrua te largohet nga posti. Megjithate sot Fatos Nano eshte perseri kryeminister, pra te njejtit aktore. Nje aspekt tjeter mjaft interesant eshte se ne Shqiperi mbizoteron po ai qendrim si ne vitin '91, pasi ende shohim perpjekje per ndertimin e partive te forta, te centralizuara dhe me disipline te larte. Megjithate pati nje periudhe kur Partia Socialiste kishte shume demokraci por kjo eshte dobesuar shume me vendimet e Kongresit te 6 Socialist te dhjetorit te shkuar. Mendoj se dhe nje gje tjeter eshte me rendesi, jo thjesht sistemi apo partite por fakti se sot ne Shqiperi mbizoterojne shume nga po ato sjellje te meparshme sic eshte per shembull zakoni qe fitimtari i merr te gjitha ose qe palet nuk bejne kompromise pra te njejtet qendrime te vijes se forte qe mendohet te jene trasheguar nga komunizmi. Kjo nuk te habit sepse shume figura aktive te skenes se sotme politike shqiptare jane njerez qe e mesuan politiken ne epoken komuniste. Por megjithe politiken tejet te polarizuar dhe percarjen ne PS ne vecanti Shqiperia ka shenuar perparim. Megjithate vendi vazhdon te kete te njejtat vershtiresi si dhe gjetke ne rajon, sic jane krimi i organizuar dhe korrupsion zyrtar. Qeveria shqiptare po ben perpjekje per te luftuar trafikun njerezor megjithese vazhdon te mbetet burim dhe pike kalimi per trafikun e grave dhe vajzave qe shfrytezohen per qellime seksuale dhe pune te detyruar neper Europe. Ne nuk e dime shkallen e depertimit te krimit te organizuar ne qeveri dhe ne partite politike si dhe ndikimin qe ka ai. Por ne Shqiperi ka mjaft krim te organizuar dhe dihet qe ai ka lidhje me organizata kriminale nderkombetare. Dicka duhet bere per te frenuar pasurine ne rritje te ketyre krimineleve nderkombetare dhe mafiozeve ne Shqiperi. Ne dime se shume nga keta njerez po e perdorin kete pasuri per te investuar ne industrine legjitime duke akumuluar fuqi te madhe. Kjo mendoj se mund te kete pasoja shume negative ne te ardhmen e demokracise ne Shqiperi prandaj mendoj se masat qe ka njoftuar kohet e fundit qeveria shqiptare kunder krimit jane te rendesishme. Por tjeter gje eshte te shpallesh masa dhe tjeter te vendosesh parametra. Do te duket ne praktike a do te vazhdoje qeveria e Fatos Nanos apo qeverite qe do te vijne pas saj zbatimin deri ne fund te ketyre masave. A do te behen keto realitet, kjo eshte pikepyetja me e madhe. Megjithe keto probleme Shqiperia ka mbajtur marredhenie te mira me Shtetet e Bashkuara dhe ka bashkepunuar me komunitetin nderkombetar ne pergjigje ndaj konflikteve rajonale. Ajo eshte mbeshtetese e rendesishme kunder terrorizmit dhe vepron ne kuadrin e Kartes se Adriatikut, nje nisme e ndermarre nga SHBA-te per te pergatitur kushtet qe sebashku me Maqedonine dhe Kroacine, Shqieria te perfshihet edhe me shume ne strukturat europiane dhe ato euroatlantike. Po a po i shfrytezon qeveria shqiptare keto konjuktura per te anashkaluar problemet e mprehta brenda vendit? Historikisht populli shqiptar ka patur nje afersi te madhe me SHBA-te, nje dashuri te madhe per Ameriken. Te gjitha qeverite shqiptare te pas Luftes se Pare Boterore, ndiqnit pergjithesisht nje politike por amerikane. Gjithnje ka patur nje deshire per marredhenie te mira me SHBA-te ndaj mendoj se kjo eshte deshire e sinqerte dhe kjo eshte mjaft e rendesishme sepse me aspiratat e Shqiperise per t'u pranuar ne BE disa vende si Franca mendojne se ato duhet te afrohen me shume me njera-tjetren sesa me SHBA-te. Prandaj Shqiperise po i behet nje fare presioni per mbeshtetjen qe ajo i ka dhene SHBA-ve. Pra per kete vend kjo ka qene nje fare risku por mendoj se e rendesishme eshte se miqesia ndertohet mbi parimin e sinqeritetit. Por ketu lind pyetja a eshte shfrytezuar kjo nga politika per perfitime, do te thoja patjeter. Ajo eshte shfrytezuar nga ish Presidenti Berisha, i cili kur vizitonte SHBA-te e perdorte kete per te demonstruar flamurin dhe per te pozuar per televizonin publik shqiptar. Madje mendoj se dhe vendimi i kryeministrit aktual Fatos Nano, per te kryesuar delegacionin shqiptar ne Kombet e Bashkuara kete vit, megjithese mund te kete patur shume motive nuk ka dyshim se njeri prej tyre patjeter qe do te jete motivi politik. Ai do te shikohet atje si nje burre shteti, do te kete shume pozime para kamerave. Kjo nuk do te thote se ai nuk eshte i sinqerte dhe se nuk do marredhenie te mira me SHBA-te ne perpjekjet per te cimentuar kredibilitetin e Shqiperise prane OKB-se. Kjo eshte menyra sesi funksionon ne kete vend politika. SHBA-te historikisht kane dashur marredhenie te mira me Shqiperine.

    A ISHTE SHQIPTAR?

    Kur kam lexuar dje ne "Zeri i Amerikes" intervisten qe kishte dhene Kreshnik Spahiu, te me besoni bashkatdhetaret e mi, kudo ku jeni jam tronditur dhe lot me kane rene nga syte. Nga emri ky zoteri dukej qe ishte shqiptar, mbase kreshnik, mbase fisnik, por nga menyra se si ai diskutonte dhe fliste ne adrese te Shqiperise sone, te bente te mendoje dhe t'i beje vetes pyetjen: A eshte ky SHQIPTAR? Pse po flet me nje urrejtje kaq te madhe per vendin e tij? A i dhimbset ketij njeriu vendi nga vjen dhe ku ka lere, bashkatdhetaret e tij? Pse gjithe ky mllef kunder Shqiperise dhe shqiptareve? Nga menyra se si ky Zoteri fliste dhe vreri qe ai "Villte" per vendin e vet, ne rast se ai do te intervistohej nga ndonje gazetar i huaj, dhe sidomos amerikan, ai do te shikohej me neveri dhe percmim, sa jam mese e sigurte qe gazetari i huaj do i thoshte: Cfare te shtyhu te flasesh per vendin tend keshtu?

    Informacioni mbetet informacion, por duhet bere shume kujdes se keto kane nje ndikim shume negativ, sidomos te pjesa e emigranteve shqiptare, kudo ku ndodhen ne bote. C'mendoi ky Zoteri se jemi ne ketu ne kete toke te huaj?

    Sot jo vetem tipa te tille, por edhe mjete te tjera te informimit, sikurse ne e dime, se ka keqberje si brenda dhe jashte Shqiperise sone, por ne te shumten e rasteve ato nuk jane te verteta. Por ato behen aq POMPOZE gjithmone me nje prapavije politike. E gjithe kjo behet nga marketingu i informacionit dhe te Tipave si ky Zoteria, qe mendimin e tyre e kane te lidhur me politiken apo admirimin ndaj dikujt tjeter edhe pse jo edhe urrejtjen nga prapavije tjeter.

    Zoteri, hajde dhe jeto vetem 10 dite me emigrantet shqiptare dhe do te shikosh se sa ata e duan vendin e tyre, kurre nuk e shajne, por gjithmone shprehen me mburrje qe jane shqiptare. Ne makinat e tyre do shikosh flamurin shqiptar dhe STIKER, neper trupin e makines me flamurin shqiptar.

    Ne Amerike ndodhin shume gjera, krime, droge, korrupsione, etj, por Amerika kurre nuk i eksporton jashte vendit te saj, ajo eksporton vetem te mirat. Sa e fyer u ndjeva qe ky Zoteri nuk la gje pa eksportuar nga Shqiperia ne USA. Cfare TURPI! Nuk besoj te jete shqiptar.

    R. Moisiu, Hartford USA.



    Para disa ditėsh kur shkruaja mendimin tim nė lidhje me mėnyrėn mė tė mirė pėr tė raportuar pėr Shqipėrinė para kongresit Amerikan, kisha parasysh vetėm faktin qė mund tė ndikoj nė pėrzgjedhjen apo jo tė Shqipėrisė pėr tė pėrfituar fonde nga llogaria amerikane Sfida e Mijėvjeēarit, pa theksuar kėtu pasojat tjera negative qė raportimet e tilla kanė pėr interesat tona.

    Pėrveē uljes sė mundėsive pėr tė pėrfituar fonde nga institucione ndėrkombėtare, kjo mėnyrė raportimi e pėrfaqėsimi ka edhe shumė pasoja tjera negative nė pothuajse gjithė fushat e interesave tona kombėtare.

    Nėn njė, autori/autorja e kėtij shkrimi mė lartė thekson vetėm pasojat negative qė raportime e pėrfaqėsime tė tilla kanė pėr ne shqiptaro-amerikanėt, por mėnyra tė tilla raportime e pėrfaqėsimi ul tė gjithė kombin shqiptar nė sytė e tė gjithėve e jo vetėm ne shqiptaro-amerikanėve kėtu.

    Nėn dy, mėnyra e tillė e raportimit dhe pėrfaqėsimit shqiptar ka pasoja tė mėdha negative pėr ēėshtjet tona kombėtare si Kosova, Shqiptaro-Maqedonia, shqiptarėt e Malit tė zi, luginės sė Preshevės e Ēamėrisė, sepse raportime e pėrfaqėsime tė tilla janė pėrēmim dhe pėrulje aftėsisė dhe kapacitetit kombėtar shqiptar.

    Nėn tre, trojet shqiptare janė nė nevojė shumė e shumė tė mėdha pėr investime tė huaja, dhe nga kjo lind pastaj pyetja cila kompani do tė rrezikonte tė investonte nė njė vend kur vetė banorėt e atjeshėm thonė hapur me gjithė gojėn se vendi ynė ėshtė kėshtu e ashtu....

    Nėn katėr, turizmi ėshtė njė ndėr mundėsitė mė tė mėdha tonat pėr njė zhvillim sa mė tė shpejtė dhe tė ardhura pėr njė ardhmėri mė tė mirė, dhe nėse ne vet dalim para botės dhe shprehemi kėshtu e ashtu, si ėshtė mė sė keqi pėr vendin tonė, lind pyetja kush do tė donte tė vizitonte njė vend tė tillė. Kjo ėshtė njėlloj sikur psh. Amerika tė reklamoj turizmin e saj me lagjet geto nė qytetet e saja.

    Dhe e gjithė kjo ėshtė bėrė vetėm duke shpresuar nė ndihmėn e mundshme tė kongresit amerikan dhe tė SHBA-sė pėr tė zgjidhur disa probleme si korrupsioni etj. Sa ka mundėsi dhe sa do tė ndihmoj konkretisht Amerika nė probleme tė tilla. Shumė pak, pėr tė mos thėnė hiē. Demokracia, zhvillimi e tjera gjėra tė mira qė po kėrkojmė pėrditė e po punojmė e mundohemi qė ti arrijmė pėrditė bėhen me para, pa para nuk ka asgjė e as demokraci e as zhvillim e as asgjė hiē fare. Pėrveē kėsaj lufta pėr tė zgjidhur problemet e vendit duhet tė bėhet nė mėnyra e mjete tė ndryshme nė vend, brenda vendit e jo nėpėr botė.

    Nėpėr botė kur dalim duhet tė kemi parasysh se pėrfaqėsojmė gjithė kombin, dhe ky pėrfaqėsim duhet tė jetė sa mė i dinjitetshėm, e sa mė i mirė qė tė jetė e mundur sepse kėshtu jo vetėm qė trajtohemi pastaj mė mirė nga tė huajt por kemi edhe pėrfitimet tjera qė i ceka mė lartė: Poashtu duhet tė punojmė sa mė shumė seicili nė bazė tė mundėsive tona qė imazhi ynė tė jetė sa mė i mirė, tė nxisim politikanėt nė vende ku jetojmė qė tė pėrkrahin ēėshtjet tona kombėtare, tė nxisim kompanitė e huaja qė tė investojnė nė vendin tonė, tė nxisim tė huajt qė tė vizitojnė vendin tonė, duke nxjerrė nė pah tė mirat e kombit dhe vendit tonė, sepse vetėm kėshtu pėrfaqėsohet kombi dhe kėshtu pėrfitojmė tė gjithė ne. Tė kėqiat dhe problemet tona duhet tė ngelen nė shtėpi dhe ti luftojmė ato me sa fuqi tė kemi, qė ti eliminojmė dhe tė kemi sa mė pak prej tyre e jo tė dalim e ta pėrfaqėsojmė kombin me to.

    Deklarate e Zt. Eduard Islami, ish-kryetar i Partise Demokratike


    Komisioni i Sigurise dhe Bashkepunimit ne Evrope

    Seance degjimi: Avancimi i demokracise ne Shqiperi

    20 Korrik, 2004


    Zoti kryetar, stafi, zonja dhe zoterinj, ju falenderoj qe me keni dhene mundesine te ndaj me ju mendimet e mia mbi gjendjen e demokracise shqiptare. E vleresoj jashte mase faktin se ky komision i nderuar po mban kete seance degjimore, e cila megjithese nuk mbahet si pergjigje e nje ngjarje te caktuar, behet ne kohen e duhur prapeseprapi. Si fillim, Shqiperia po pergatitet te mbaje zgjedhje parlamentare vitin qe vjen, rezultati i te cilave do te kete nje ndikim te rendesishem ne te ardhmen e vendit. Se dyti, Shqiperia po pergatitet qe te antaresohet ne NATO, organizata e drejtuar nga SHBA qe siguron paqen dhe sigurine ne Evrope. Prandaj, une mendoj se eshte shume e rendesishme qe SHBA te mbeshtesi Shqiperine ne rrugen e saj drejt nje demokracie te mirefillte, duke patur parasysh se ne nje shtet si Shqiperia, ashtu si ne shtetet e tjera te Evropes Lindore, eshte shume e veshtire te gjesh njerez qe kane ndjenja anti-amerikane dhe ne te njejten kohe jane aleate te forte te SHBA ne luften kunder terrorizmit.

    Dua te vleresoj punen qe ky komision ka bere per avancimin e demokracise ne Evrope, dhe ne menyre te vecante ne Shqiperi. Duke qene se jam shqiptar, nuk kam se si te harroj rolin vendimtar qe Komisioni i Helsinkit luajti ne hapat e para te Shqiperise drejt demokracise. Kjo ndihme erdhi ne nje kohe kur shume pak veta ketu ne Uashington apo ne kryeqytetet e tjera perendimore po i kushtonin vemendje Shqiperise, dhe disa as nuk e dinin fare se ku binte Shqiperia ne harte.

    Zt. Kryetar, stafi, zonja dhe zoterinj, qe prej heres se fundit qe ky komision mbajti nje seance per Shqiperine, vendi ka perjetuar zhvillime pozitive dhe negative. Kolapsi total i shtetit qe pasoi nje skandal financiar me skemat piramidale ne vitin 1997, ishte nje hap i madh mbrapa per Shqiperine. Shqiperia ende po paguan nje cmim per mjerimin ekonomik dhe koasin politik qe pasoi ate skandal. Ajo ngjarrje tragjike nxorri ne drite edhe njehere rendesisine e mbrojtjes se procesit demokratik politik si te vetmen rruge zhvillimi. Demonstroi se demokracia ne Shqiperi, edhe pas disa hapash dramatike progresi, ishte shume e brishte. Qe atehere, OSBE hapi nje mision ne Tirane, qe ka bere nje pune te madhe ne kthimin e stabilitetit dhe venien perseri ne shina te zhvillimeve demokratike ne vend.

    Dua qe te perqendroj deshmine time ne dy pika: ne zgjedhjet e lira dhe te ndershme dhe nevojen e nje debati politik te shendetshem. E para eshte nevoje jetike per cdo demokraci. E dyta ka nje ndikim te madh ne procesin demokratik ne vend dhe vendosjen e shtetit ligjor.

    Qe prej vitit 1994, asnje proces zgjedhor nuk eshte vleresuar si i lire dhe i ndershem nga OSBE apo partite qe kane humbur ne zgjedhje. Ky eshte nje prej faktoreve kryesore qe i mbajne votuesit shqiptare larg kutive te votimit, dhe nje nga shkaqet e klimes shume te polarizuar politike. Partite e medha kane rene dakord per te punuar se bashku ne permiresimin e kodit zgjedhor dhe infrastruktures zgjedhore. Megjithate, ngelet per te pare nese do te kene vullnetin politik per te mbajtur nje proces elektoral normal. Mendoj se ky komision, Departamenti i Shtetit, dhe prezenca e OSBE ne Tirane mund te bindin partine ne pushtet dhe opoziten qe ti qendrojne besnike marevjeshjes se tyre. Sa me shume votues marin mesazhin se cdo vote do te numerohet, aq me shume do te dalin per te votuar ne pikat e votimit diten e zgjedhjeve.

    Ka disa pika ku procesi elektoral ka nevoje per permiresime, qe jane adresuar edhe nga raporti i OSBE mbi zgjedhjet ne Shqiperi. Desha te zija ne goje nje prej tyre, qe per mua eshte teper e rendesishme: numerimi i votave. Palet duhet te arrijne ne nje mareveshje per nje formule qe do ta bente procesin e numerimit te votave transparent. Pa dashur te hyj ne detaje teknike, mendoj se ky eshte nje objektiv i arritshem. Kerkon vetem nje vullnet te forte politik qe duhet ta ndajne te gjitha partite politike.

    Ky vullnet do te ekzistoje vetem nese partite politike nuk e shohin Diten e Zgjedhjeve si nje dite lufte per jete a vdekje. Me fjaje te tjera, duhet te shihet si nje arritje e madhe ne procesin e vazhdueshem demokratik dhe si nje mundesi per votuesit per te zgjedhur partine me platformen me te mire per zhvillimin e vendit dhe me njerezit me te besueshem qe mund ta permbushin kete platforme.

    Duke qene se kam qene ne pozita drejtimi ne Shqiperi, jam i ndergjegjshem se procesi politik nuk eshte i lehte, kur kihet parasysh se kemi te bejme me nje vend qe ka nje eksperience te vogel demokratike. Megjithate, procesi demokratik ka nje rendesi jetike per mireqenien e Shqiperise. Per fat te keq, partite e medha kane deshmuar se ato nuk e respektojne gjithmone procesin demokratik, si brenda partive te tyre edhe midis tyre. Une mendoj se pjese e shkakut te ketij problemi eshte nje tradite shqiptare ku kundershtaret politike konsiderohen armiq personale. Kjo ka krijuar nje klime te polarizuar ne ekstrem, dhe energji te vlefshme jane harxhuar ne nje lufte midis politikaneve dhe partive politike.

    Ne menyre te vecante, eshte pergjegjesi direkte e partise ne pushtet qe te ndertoje dhe fuqizoje kornizat legale, shoqerore dhe ekonomike per te patur nje demokraci te qendrueshme. Ne fund te fundit, eshte zgjedhur ne pushtet per te adresuar problemet e popullit. Ne vend qe ta beje kete, lidershipi i kesaj partie i ka harxhuar energjite ne luften e brendshme per pushtet brenda partise, qe ka bere qe reformat demokratike ne vend te ngadalesohen ndjeshem.

    Pervec luftes politike midis rivaleve per pushtet, nje tjeter ceshtje qe ze nje vemendje te madhe te pamerituar nga ana e disa pushtetareve eshte avancimi i interesave personale. Si rezultat, korrupsioni zyrtar, sic shihet nga shtetasit e thjeshte, eshte perhapur ndjeshem. Duket sikur keta njerez nuk e kuptojne se pushteti jo vetem qe eshte nje nder por eshte gjithashtu nje pergjegjesi karshi njerezve qe votuan per ta, dhe nje pergjegjesi karshi idealit te demokracise.

    Qe nje demokraci te funksionoje sic duhet, eshte shume e rendesishme qe si partia ne pushtet edhe partia ne opozite te luajne nje rol vendimtar ne fuqizimin e institucioneve demokratike. Eshte inkurajues fakti qe ne te shkuaren, ka patur disa momente ku Partia Socialiste ka lejuar partite e opozites qe te thone fjalen e tyre ne ceshtje te rendesishme: shembulli me i mire eshte zgjedhja e presidentit te Republikes me nje konsensus te gjere nga te gjitha partite ne vend.

    Nga ana tjeter, partite ne opozite mund te fuqizojne procesin demokratik jo vetem duke dhene nje kriticizem me vend per qeverine por edhe duke dhene alternativa konkrete qe permiresojne jeten e shtetasve. Partia Demokratike, partia me e madhe opozitare ne Shqiperi, nuk e ka fokusuar vemendjen e saj gjithmone per te dhene alterantiva te reja. Megjithate, eshte inkurajues fakti se ne kete vitin e fundit, lidershipi i saj ka kerkuar ne menyre publike mendimin e shoqerise civile, rretheve akademike, mediave, dhe komunitetit te biznesit. Eshte gjithashtu inkurajues fakti kur degjon lider te Partise Demokratike qe kerkojne te shohin njerez te rinj ne poste drejtimi ne partine e tyre. Duket sikur ajo qe ata po kerkojne, jane njerez qe kane arsim dhe eksperience perendimore, ne menyre qe te permbushin me sukses platformat politike te partise.

    Eshte shume e rendesishme qe ata ta ndjekin kete kurs. Une mendoj se opozita duhet te shpenzoje me shume kohe duke menduar per te ardhmen: cfare mund te permiresohet nese vine ne pushtet, dhe si mund ta realizojne. Opozita duhet tu japi alternativa konkrete njerezve dhe ti bindi ata se perfaqeson zgjidhjen me te mire. Duhet te perpiqet qe te afroje ne procesin politik njerez qe ndihen te lene jashte tij. Duhet ti perqendroje energjite e saj ne problemet reale qe perballen shtetasit shqiptare si furnizimi me energji elektrike dhe uje te pijshem, korrupsioni zyrtar, shkalla e larte e krimit, papunesia, arsimi i varfer publik, dhe mungesa e perkujdesjes mjekesore te duhur dhe te perballueshme.

    Duke qene i ndergjegjshem per sfidat qe na presin, une ngelem optimist se e ardhmja rezervon dite me te mira per demokracine dhe popullin shqiptar. Edhe ne ditet me te zeza une asnjehere nuk kam humbur besimin dhe konfidencen qe kam per aftesine e popullit shqiptar per te tejkaluar pengesat dhe per te nxjerre ne drite miresine ne cdo situate. Ne fund te fundit, ishte ky popull qe i fali botes njeriun simbol te miresise -- Nene Terezen.

    Shume faleminderit per mundesine qe me krijuat per te dale para jush sot.
