Ok firstly i need be careful because of the censorship on the forum as to what I say and how I say it...
Now how do I put this.. this is where the whole "Tirana Platform" confusion across ethnic groups begins ..
The 3 Albanian parties that are signatories to the "Joint Albanian party declaration" drew up the declaration in Skopje,, all 3 parties agreed on the content.. BUT,,, It was the BESA party who refused to agree to sign the declaration in the presents of Ali Ahmeti..((who they campaigned heavily against -as an immoral sellout criminal)) they insisted on an outside mediator..
WHY?
Well a few theories exist as to why they insisted on Tirana being the mediator to bring all the parties together... firstly they didn't want to take on the image as willingly sitting and agreeing to a deal with Ahmeti, whom they called every name under the sun during the campaign.. So e deal signed in Tirana under the auspices of Edi Rama in the name of National unity was easier to sell to their electorate.
Another theory is that Gruevski had threatened BESA that it would investigate its questionable funding sources from abroad (mostly via TIKA in Turkey) if it didn't insist on Tirana mediating so then vmro could coin and exploit the term "Tiraska Platforma" and in return BESA would be seen favorably by vmro if there were to be reelections as vmro's junior Albanian party ahead of dui or dpa...
So the role of Tirana being the mediator wasn't born in Tirana.. it came as a request from the Albanian parties of Macedonia...
Hence none of the content part of the declaration is Tirana influenced nor are any points added outside the platforms of the parties..
I personally believe it was wrong for besa to insist on Tirana mediating especially considering the situation Macedonia was in and how it strengthened Gruevski's propaganda machine with ammunition... It was totally unnecessary in the context of the situation.. but was also over exaggerated in the media.
Can you show me any proof of funding or projects from Albania or Kosovo to Albanians in Macedonia?
The only project 'im aware of where Tirana has funded anything outside Albania to Albanians is a $100,000 grant to jointly help fund a maternity hospital in Preshevo (Southern Serbia)
Albo:
While I understand that DPMNE has used the Tirana Platform as a propaganda tool to a certain extent, you're ignoring the essential point:
3 political parties from Country A agreed to a political platform regarding Country A's internal affairs at a meeting in Country B under guidance of Country B's Prime Minister, who is of the same ethnicity as those 3 Country A's political parties.
Why couldn't they agree to an agenda somewhere in Macedonia? Why did they have to involve the Prime Minister of Albania?

And you're lying to yourself if you insist that there is no direction, funding or support for Macedonia's Albanian political parties coming from Albania or even Kosovo.
