U Srbiji se sudi, a u Albaniji, za sada, protestuje. Zbog izgradnje luksuznog kompleksa, povezanog sa zetom američkog predsednika Donalda Trampa, baš kao i u slučaju "Generalštab". Protesti ne posustaju već dve nedelje, a koja je još sličnost sa nama?

Zaštićeno područje lagune Narta i obližnjeg ostva Sazan. Izolovani deo netaknute obale koji flamingosi odvajkada smatraju svojim domom.
Idiličan zvuk poslednjih dana zaparalo je brundanje građevinskih mašina.
Teška mašinerija je tu kako bi pripremila teren za izgradnju luksuznog hotelskog kompleksa u vlasništvu Džareda Kušnera , zeta američkog predsednika koji je želeo da gradi i u centru Beograda.
Lokalni aktivisti odmah su se pobunili protiv investicije.
"Ovo je prelep prirodni krajolik. Ako nastavimo ovim putem, uskoro ga više nećemo videti ovakvog. Praktično će postati još jedan grad. Dakle, ovde govorimo o urbanizaciji, a ne o skromnom, održivom turizmu", kazala je Besiana Guri, ekološka aktivistkinja.
Investitor je na plaži postavio bodljikavu žicu, a aktivisti se sukobili sa privatnim obezbeđenjem.
Da li su ove slike poljuljale namere albanskih vlasti da sprovedu ovaj projekat u delo? Nimalo.
"Nikad nije bilo pitanje da li će ovo biti realizovano ili ne. Ovo je blagoslov za zemlju", kazao je premijer Albanije Edi Rama.
Odgovor mu je stigao - na hiljade građana danima protestuje u Tirani, zahtevajući njegovu ostavku.
Demonstracije, čiji zaštitni znak je postao flamingo, prerasle su u nacionalnu pobunu protiv režima.
"Tako je počelo, ali je to samo vrh ledenog brega. Sad protestujemo za naša prava, za novu Albaniju, za novu vladu", rekla je jedna građanka.
" Umorni smo od korupcije u poslednjih 35 godina. Nadali smo se da smo dobili demokratiju posle 1991. ali nismo to osetili u poslednjih 35 godina", naveo je drugi građanin.
"Protiv sam birokratije u našem sistemu i svega što nije dobro po nas i našu decu", kazao je treći.
Rama, kao i neki drugi balkanski lideri, proteste građana protiv njegove vlasti automatski je označio kao delovanje stranih službi.
"Ovo nije samo o zaštiti životne sredine. Ovo je, pre svega, reč o hibridnom ratu. Neprijatelji države - znamo ih. Svako ko zna našu priču, zna ko su", naveo je Rama.
Uperio je prstom u - Iran, koji je optužio da podržava proteste, koje je opisao kao antisemitske. Tako je priča o hotelu porodice Tramp dobila i razmere diplomatskog skandala.
"Možda će reći da su flamingosi verovatno bili iranski bezbednjaci. Vidite, ove tvrdnje protiv Irana su stereotipni obrazac u kom svaka vlast koja bi da se približi cionističkom režimu kreira optužbe protiv Irana da bi ih odobrovoljila", naveo je Ismail Bagei, portparol Ministarstva spoljnih poslova Irana.
Studentske proteste u Srbiji, koji su takođe bili upereni i protiv Kušnerovog hotela u centru Beograda, srpske vlasti su takođe označavale kao delovanje stranih službi.
A kad je projekat propao nakon demonstracija i podizanja optužnice protiv visokih državnih funkcionera, režim je tvrdio da su građani protestovali kako bi se Trampova investicija prebacila u Albaniju.
Predsednica Skupštine Ana Brnabić: Radujete se što je Srbija nešto izgubila, a Albanija je dobila.
Voditelj: Kao da su lobirali za Albaniju .
Brnabić: Lobirali za Albaniju. Direkt(no) lobirali za Albaniju.
"Ogroman novac za našu zemlju sad će otići u neku drugu zemlju", rekao je predsednik Srbije Aleksandar Vučić.
Otišao novac, ali građani Albanije izgleda, više cene prirodu.
Građani, ne i vlast. Iako proteste ne organizuju političke partije, izgradnja hotela mogla bi da ima političke posledice.
Pitanje zaštite životne sredine sad je preduslov za evropske integracije, zbog čega iz Brisela stiže jasna poruka povodom izgradnje spornog kompleksa.
"Albanija treba da se uzdrži od poteza koji bi mogli da ugroze ispunjavanje završnog poglavlja, i očekujemo da albanske vlasti tako postupe bez odlaganja", rekao je Gijom Mersije, portparol Evropske komisije.
Premijer Rama odgovara da je ponosan na ono što je njegova vlada učinila za zaštitu prirode.
Da će, kao i flamingose, uspeti za zaštiti i svoju dugogodišnju vlast?
