Fatmir Sheholli Exposed Us” – MP Kraki Recounts the Debate He Refused to Take Part in a Year Ago

Nezir Kraki, a deputy from the Vetëvendosje Movement, has reacted to reports about Fatmir Sheholli, claiming that several media outlets in Kosovo and Albania have been used to fuel political and religious divisions.

Kraki revealed that, about a year ago, he refused to take part in a televised debate in Albania focused on the issue of Islamic headscarves in Kosovo’s schools. He considered the topic divisive and said that the following day it was also covered by several media outlets in Kosovo.

The deputy criticized what he described as the “normalization of ignorance,” while assessing that the Fatmir Sheholli case says more about society than about Sheholli’s activities. “Fatmir Sheholli was exposed and exposed us,” Kraki wrote.

Fatmir Sheholli Exposed Us

About a year ago, I received a phone call from a television station in Albania. They asked me whether I could take part in a debate the following day.

I asked them what the topic would be and who would be taking part.

They told me that the discussion would focus on Islamic headscarves in Kosovo’s schools.

I replied that at that time we had around 100 problems and political blockades to address. I asked them how the issue of religion had become so urgent for public opinion.

I told them clearly that behind many of the topics and debates about Kosovo in the Albanian media were Serbian intelligence services. In a friendly manner, I suggested that they not cover such topics, which are intended to create divisions among us.

I also told them that the “topic” would most likely be picked up by other media outlets as well, since such issues are disseminated through increasingly broad scenarios.

I categorically refused to take part in the debate.

The following day, the hosts of the midday programs on T7 and TV Dukagjin had already opened discussions about religious divisions. People as anonymous as they were uninformed had been invited into the studios.

According to him, the objective was the same in Albania and Kosovo: to turn the debate into a religious one and highlight divisions that, in reality, have never existed among us. I wrote to the person from Tirana and sent him links to the same debates that had taken place in Kosovo.

I asked him whether he understood how this issue was unfolding.

He replied that it was an interesting coincidence.

Now, following the exposure of Fatmir Sheholli and that old Gorani man from the BIA, these scenarios have become clear. I did not wait for the arrest of the spies to understand that many media outlets, whether intentionally or unintentionally, are serving Serbia.

I have often repeated that ignorance is our greatest enemy. As Hannah Arendt theorized, where thought is absent, evil finds room to grow. The desire to present yourself as somebody when in reality you are nobody creates leagues among nobodies. These nobodies are now constructing a parallel reality in which neither rules nor truths exist.

For this reason, there can be no intervention by a shameless journalist who gives a psychopath airtime during a midday program to spread conspiracy theories claiming that Kosovo is cooperating with Serbia to uncover weapons in the north.

That is precisely why Kosovo today faces a greater risk than it did in 2008, when it declared independence.

Today, we are the ones putting Kosovo at risk because we have made ignorance commonplace in every field and on every issue.

Therefore, the Sheholli case is far more tragic than his own activities in the service of Serbia. This case says more about us than it does about Fatmir, the spy.

In truth, Fatmir Sheholli was exposed and, at the same time, exposed us.
