Gino Mulliqi, a representative of the organization “Albanians for America,” asserted that the efforts of Albanian-American communities concerning Kosovo should be viewed as advocacy for rights rather than simple lobbying efforts. Speaking during an interview for “Përballje Podcast” on Telegrafi, Mulliqi addressed the ongoing political discourse surrounding the region’s status within American institutions. Mulliqi stated that he believes the current presentation of the facts requires a structured defense from the Albanian community.
He contrasted the actions of the groups, suggesting that while he does not categorize the focus on Kosovo’s advancement as mere lobbying, he argued that the efforts undertaken by Serbia are indeed characterized as such. According to Telegrafi, Mulliqi clarified his distinction, asserting that the work being done by Albanian-Americans constitutes advocacy aimed at presenting the established truth, whereas the actions taken by Serbia are framed as lobbying activities. He emphasized the need for greater internal organization among Albanian-Americans to effectively defend the historical and contemporary issues related to Kosovo and the rights of the Albanian people.
The comments underscore a call for a more unified and strategically organized approach when engaging with American policymakers regarding the situation in the Balkans.
