Edi Rama: Gent Caka is refused because is too clean and cannot be accused

 The Prime Minister Edi Rama has said that Gent Cakaj is attacked after being clean. Speaking at a reception with ambassadors, said he did not choose Gent Caka, neither as a Kosovar nor as a young man, but as a European Albanian. Rama said that Gent Cakaj has not spoken and did not preach border change in the Balkans.

"I'm sorry that our Pristina guest has started his journey as a minister in disloyalty. Prejudice, clay and the anger of the ignorant prejudiced him even without opening his mouth. They have attacked and violated his dignity because he is pure and does not belong to our old sludge. Because he cannot be accused of anything.

Because he is very clean, as a Kosovar he cannot become a minister. I did not choose Gent Caka, neither as a Kosovar nor as a young man, but as a European Albanian. Initially he started as an advisor and then as Deputy Minister. He has never said anything that contradicts our foreign policy. Who says he is malicious or misleading. He has never preached border changes in the Balkans nor has he intervened in an issue such as Kosovo and Serbia," Rama said.

While in the debade of the President's refusal to decree Gent Caka as Foreighn Minister of Albania is involved also the MD of Kosovo of the "Alternative" Party Ilir Deda. He thinks Rama and Thaci support the idea of the partition of Kosovo with Serbia.

"Gent Cakaj is unequivocally a young man with many perspectives and superior education. But a Kosovo Albanian, as Albania's Foreign Minister, cannot become part of Kosovo's partitioning policy. President Ilir Meta gave a strong blow to that plan today, a blow that has not yet been given in Kosovo," Deda wrote on Facebook.
