Kosova First platform is the way forward for our nation. The Kosova-US relationship must endure and strengthen through formalization. Time is now! https://t.co/xDRn2Cy2eu

Yes, you may have disagreed with Charlie Kirk, but NO, NEVER EVER did you have the right to take his life! This is a very tragic day for America! A very dark day!
Thoughts and prayers are with Kirk's family and friends!

The 🇪🇺 in today's conclusion #87 wants 🇽🇰 to "de-escalate" the situation in the north before it can lift its "reversible measures vis-a-vis 🇽🇰." Well, 🇪🇺 how can 🇽🇰 de-escalate anything when the 🇷🇸 supported radicals are engaging in terrorist attacks there?! What a disgrace!!!

Dec 7 marked the 83rd anniversary of Pearl Harbor. Here is a recent open of mine published by Journal News (NY), part of the USA Today Network, re: hero Doris Miller and DioGuardi's lifelong fight for racial justice.

Beyond being grateful for President Biden's role, the piece argues that Serbia, as the 'little Russia of the Balkans,' continues to be a threat to regional stability and beyond.

Just a reminder: the US support for and investment in and for Kosova (financially, militarily, politically, and diplomatically) has been enduring and essential! Whatever the differences now, Kosova's unique partnership with the US must always prevail! https://t.co/NPR98R6fTo

Where's the EU and QUINT reaction to the clear persecution of Nagip Arifi, Mayor of Bujanoc, by the Belgrade regime? His crime: "failure to lower the flag to half staff at the city hall to honor Serb" militias fallen during the terrorist attack against Kosovo at Banjska! 🤔

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

🇷🇸's nomination of Vulin, Putin's proxy, as DPM in their new govt is a brutal affront to the US and EU. Publicly designated by the US in 2023, Vulin's reemergence as DPM is a crystal clear sign by Vucic of 🇷🇸's loyalty to Russia. Appeasement is wrong; sanctions for 🇷🇸 now!

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

Albanians are being ethnically cleansed through passivation; they DO NOT enjoy any civil rights when it comes to using their national symbols, etc; they ARE NOT entitled to a fraction of the rights that K-Serbs are! Truth: UNBEARABLE is the life of ALBANIANS under his regime!

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

At the UNSC mtg today, Vucic claimed baselessly that 'life has become unbearable for Serbs in Kosovo.' Let's remind him that it is the Albanians in Presheva Valley who are systematically discriminated against by his regime! Life for them is truly unbearable!

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

Albanians under his regime ARE NOT given their due share in state institutions; Alb municipalities of Presheva, Bujanoc, and Medvegja, ARE NOT given the deserved amount of gov't budget; they DO NOT have reserved seats in the Serbian Parliament; they DO NOT have higher educ in Alb

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

First, they resign. Then, they boycott snap elections. Then, they use violence against legally elected mayors and want to remove them. Then, Kosovo offers them that opportunity through a democratic referendum, held today. They boycott that too. K-Serbs are Vucic's hostages!

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

Zgjedhjet janë themel i demokracisë; kushdo që s'është i gatshëm për to, s'është për të mirën e vendit...

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

@shkamberi Keep it up, Mr. Kamberi. You have the US Congress supporting your righteous cause and Vucic knows it. Now is the time to show the true face of Belgrade.

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

@MiroslavLajcak Would it only be fair that you met with NGOs/Official Reps from the Presheva Valley as well? Ignoring the ethnic Albanian minority in 🇷🇸 while over-privileging the Serb minority in 🇽🇰 is a double standard that goes against the core values of the EU! @shkamberi @RagmiMustafi

[Faton Tony Bislimi @BislimiF]

@JosepBorrellF An accused violent mobster was arrested, one that brutally attacked KFOR soldiers recently. You should applaud that! Please learn a bit from your American colleagues such as Senator Menendez: https://t.co/pVn8XAbG14
