T\u00eb h\u00ebnen \npas dite Elez Biberaj m\u00eb d\u00ebrgoi nj\u00eb e-mail me nj\u00eb shkrim t\u00eb shkurt\u00ebr p\u00ebr vdekjen \ne gazetarit t\u00eb p\u00ebrditshmes \u201c The New York Times” David Binder. P\u00ebr David Binder \nkisha d\u00ebgjuar n\u00eb pranver\u00eb t\u00eb vitit 1981. N\u00eb koh\u00ebn kur David Binder ishte nj\u00ebri \nprej redaktor\u00ebve kryesor, gazeta “The New York Tim\u00ebs” botonte shkrime t\u00eb \nkorrespondent\u00ebve t\u00eb saj n\u00eb Ballkan dhe t\u00eb agjencive t\u00eb ndryshme t\u00eb lajmeve p\u00ebr \ngj\u00ebndjen kritike n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb. Pavar\u00ebsisht se vepronte n\u00eb Washington, zoti  Binder \nher\u00eb pas here botonte shkrime p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb, edhe pse e kishte \npasur t\u00eb ndaluar hyrjen n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri. N\u00eb fillim t\u00eb viteve 80 fillova pun\u00ebn pran\u00eb \n“Z\u00ebrit t\u00eb Amerik\u00ebs”. N\u00eb at\u00eb koh\u00eb isha shum\u00eb i interesuar p\u00ebr nj\u00eb takim me k\u00ebt\u00eb \ngazetar amerikan. Nj\u00eb dit\u00eb e thirra n\u00eb telefon dhe bisedova me t\u00eb, por jo tep\u00ebr \ngjat\u00eb. Gjat\u00eb bised\u00ebs i tregova se isha nga Mali i Zi dhe se kisha q\u00ebn\u00eb student \nn\u00eb Prishtin\u00eb deri n\u00eb janar t\u00eb vitit 1970. Ju luta p\u00ebr takim dhe mund\u00ebsin\u00eb e nj\u00eb \ndreke n\u00eb nj\u00ebrin prej atyre restauranteve af\u00ebr pallatit ku p\u00ebrgatitej gazeta\u201d The \nNew York Times”. K\u00ebrkova nga ai q\u00eb t\u00eb ishin t\u00eb pranish\u00ebm edhe Elez Biberaj dhe \nFrank Shkreli. Edhe pjes\u00ebmarrjen e tyre e pranoi me d\u00ebshir\u00eb, por p\u00ebrpara se t\u00eb \nshkojm\u00eb p\u00ebr drek\u00eb dua q\u00eb t\u00eb vizitoni gazet\u00ebn “Th\u00eb New York Tim\u00ebs. Un\u00eb \npersonalisht u g\u00ebzova p\u00ebr pjes\u00ebmarrjen e tyre sepse ata kishin m\u00eb shum\u00eb se un\u00eb \np\u00ebrvoj\u00eb n\u00eb gazetarin\u00eb amerikane, pastaj fjalori i tyre politik ishte shum\u00eb m\u00eb i \npasur se imi, nd\u00ebrsa p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn mbase kisha m\u00eb shum\u00eb njohuri sepse kisha q\u00ebn\u00eb \natje nx\u00ebn\u00ebs dhe student p\u00ebr 7 vjet. Ne shkuam sipas k\u00ebrkes\u00ebs s\u00eb tij p\u00ebr vizit\u00eb \ndhe gjat\u00eb koh\u00ebs sa q\u00ebndruam aty, na tregoi shum\u00eb gj\u00ebra, bile edhe tryez\u00ebn e \nkryeredaktorit dhe drejtorit p\u00ebrgjegj\u00ebs t\u00eb k\u00ebsaj gazete Bill Kovach. Kjo tha \nDavid Binder \u00ebsht\u00eb tryeza e bashkombasit tuaj Bill Kovach. Nd\u00ebrsa q\u00ebndruam pran\u00eb \ntavolin\u00ebs s\u00eb k\u00ebtij gazetari t\u00eb famsh\u00ebm amerikan me origjin\u00eb shqiptare ai tha \nfjal\u00eb t\u00eb shk\u00eblqyeshme p\u00ebr k\u00ebt\u00eb gazetar. Ne u g\u00ebzuam shum\u00eb q\u00eb kishim aty nj\u00eb  \ngazetar  aq t\u00eb madh. Nuk e takuam, sepse Bill Kovach nuk ishte ato dit\u00eb n\u00eb \nWashington. Pas k\u00ebsaj vizite shkuam p\u00ebr drek\u00eb dhe atje biseduam gjer\u00eb e gjat\u00eb \np\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe p\u00ebr Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb. P\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn, David  Binder kishte shum\u00eb njohuri. \nAi n\u00eb vitin 1966 kur sh\u00ebrbente si korrespondent n\u00eb Beograd, kishte botuar disa \nshkrime p\u00ebr largimin e Aleksand\u00ebr Rankoviqit dhe torturat e sigurimit jugosllav \nn\u00eb Kosov\u00eb. Q\u00ebndrat krysore t\u00eb veprimtaris\u00eb s\u00eb tij ishin Boni dhe Beogradi. Ai \nkishte botuar disa shkrime n\u00eb mb\u00ebshtetje t\u00eb poltik\u00ebs antistaliniste t\u00eb Josip \nBroz Titos. K\u00ebto shkrime ia kishin leht\u00ebsuar udh\u00ebtimin n\u00eb Beograd. Gjat\u00eb atyre \nudh\u00ebtimeve kishte vendosur lidhje me disidentin e njohur jugosllav Millovan \nGjillas.
Ishte dit\u00eb e diel, disa dit\u00eb pas demonstratave t\u00eb 11 marsit 1981 n\u00eb \nKosov\u00eb, David Binder u paraqit me nj\u00eb artikull n\u00eb rubrik\u00ebn e posa\u00e7me”Pasqyra e \nFundjav\u00ebs”(Weekend in Review). N\u00eb at\u00eb shkrim shum\u00eb serioz e p\u00ebrshkruante \nshtypjen nj\u00eb shekullore t\u00eb Kosov\u00ebs nga forcat jugosllave. Ai shkruante se ata q\u00eb \npo demonstrojn\u00eb sot n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb jan\u00eb pasardh\u00ebsit e shqiptar\u00ebve q\u00eb ishin pushkatuar \nnga forcat jugosllave. Ata q\u00eb po protestojn\u00eb sot kishin par\u00eb me syt\u00eb e tyre \nd\u00ebnimin me vdekje t\u00eb baballar\u00ebve t\u00eb tyre dhe se ata nuk do t\u00eb pajtohen kurr\u00eb me \ntragjedit\u00eb dhe masakrat e Kosov\u00ebs. Mbase mund t\u00eb ket\u00eb ndikuar edhe gazetari i \nmadh amerikano-shqiptar Bill Kovach p\u00ebr shkrimet e tij n\u00eb gazet\u00ebn “The New York \nTimes”. S’ka dyshim se jugosllav\u00ebt antishqiptar\u00eb n\u00eb Beograd dhe n\u00eb viset tjera i \nkishin dh\u00ebn\u00eb informata shum\u00eb t\u00eb gabura p\u00ebr shqiptar\u00ebt n\u00eb p\u00ebrgjith\u00ebsi dhe p\u00ebr \nKosov\u00ebn n\u00eb ve\u00e7anti. Shkrimet e tij shumic\u00ebn e koh\u00ebs ishin objektive, por jo \ngjith\u00ebmon\u00eb. 
N\u00eb ver\u00ebn e vitit 1986 m\u00eb b\u00ebri telefon dhe njoftoi se do t\u00eb \nshkonte n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb dhe se do t\u00eb q\u00ebndronte atje dy jav\u00eb p\u00ebr nj\u00eb shkrim serioz dhe \nt\u00eb holl\u00ebsish\u00ebm p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe se ky studim do t\u00eb botohej n\u00eb revist\u00ebn “The New \nYork Times Magazine” q\u00eb botohet \u00e7do te diel\u00eb. Kjo revist\u00eb \u00ebsht\u00eb shum\u00eb \nprestigjoze dhe deri von\u00eb citimet nga kjo revist\u00eb ishin shum\u00eb t\u00eb kufizuara.  \nPara se t\u00eb nisej p\u00ebr Kosov\u00eb k\u00ebrkova nj\u00eb takim me t\u00eb n\u00eb Washington. Ai e pranoi \ndhe pas disa dit\u00ebsh udh\u00ebtova me aeroplan nga New Yorku n\u00eb Washington p\u00ebr ti \ndh\u00ebn\u00eb disa informata t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme p\u00ebr takime n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb. Isha i sigurt\u00eb se \namabasada jugosllave n\u00eb Washington nuk do t’i jepte em\u00ebrat e duhur p\u00ebr takime n\u00eb \nPrishtin\u00eb dhe p\u00ebr k\u00ebt\u00eb arsye shkova n\u00eb Washington dhe shkuam p\u00ebr drek\u00eb s\u00eb \nbashku. Dua t\u00eb th\u00ebm t\u00eb v\u00ebrtet\u00ebn se David Binder ishte shum\u00eb bujar. Gjat\u00eb atij \ntakimi iu luta q\u00eb t\u00eb takonte akadamik\u00ebt,profesor\u00ebt, shkrimtar\u00ebt dhe \nintelektual\u00ebt e vertet\u00eb t\u00eb Kosov\u00ebs. Paraprakisht kisha p\u00ebrgatitur em\u00ebrin e Esad \nMekulit, Idriz Ajetit, Mark Krasniqit, Gazmend Zajmit, Rexhep Qosjes, Ali Hadrit \ne shum\u00eb e shum\u00eb t\u00eb tjer\u00ebve. Sot nuk m\u00eb kujtohet n\u00ebse jetonin n\u00eb at\u00eb koh\u00eb Ali \nHadri dhe Gazmend Zajmi. I tregova q\u00eb Prishtina \u00ebsht\u00eb q\u00ebnd\u00ebr universitare ku \nstudionin dhjet\u00ebra mij\u00ebra student\u00eb, bile disa prej tyre gj\u00ebnden edhe n\u00eb Shtetet \ne Bashkuara p\u00ebr studime me burs\u00ebn Fulbright. E gjith\u00eb kjo p\u00ebrpjekje m\u00eb shkoi \nkot, ngase ai nuk kishte takuar asnj\u00ebrin nga em\u00ebrat q\u00eb i kisha dh\u00ebn\u00eb. Dy jav\u00eb \npas kthimit nga Kosova kishte botuar nj\u00eb artikull t\u00eb mbrapsht\u00eb  p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe \ntregonte se ishte takuar me disa shqiptar\u00eb besnik\u00eb t\u00eb Jugosllavis\u00eb. Ai ishte \ntakuar edhe me Halit Trnavcin dhe kishte sh\u00ebnuar disa komente t\u00eb tij p\u00ebr Kanunin \ne Lek\u00eb Dukagjinit. Zotni Trnavci kishte p\u00ebrkthyer k\u00ebt\u00eb Kanun nga gjuha shqipe n\u00eb \ngjuh\u00ebn s\u00ebrbo-kroate dhe David Binder kishte fituar bindje se Trnavci ishte \neksperti I Kanunit. N\u00eb shkrimin q\u00eb ishte botuar n\u00eb “The New York Times” ky Kanun \nnuk kishte asnj\u00eb vler\u00eb,dhe se ishte pjell\u00eb e nj\u00eb populli primitiv.  Pasi lexova \nkomentet e tij p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe p\u00ebr Kanunin u zem\u00ebrova aq shum\u00eb sa q\u00eb i nd\u00ebrpreva \nlidhjet me t\u00eb. Ky z\u00ebm\u00ebrim m\u00eb shtyri t’i lutem professor Leonard Fox p\u00ebr \nmundesin\u00eb e p\u00ebrkthimit dhe botimit anglisht. Ai e pranoi k\u00ebrkes\u00ebn time dhe n\u00eb \nn\u00ebntor t\u00eb vitit 1989 doli botimi i par\u00eb n\u00eb gjuh\u00ebn anglishte i Kanunit. Kopjen e \npar\u00eb ia d\u00ebrgova dhurat\u00eb David Binder dhe pas disa jav\u00ebsh mora prej tij nj\u00eb let\u00ebr \nt\u00eb shk\u00eblqyeshme urimi, ku e krahasonte Kanunin me Testamentin e Vjet\u00ebr. Me 4 \nn\u00ebntor t\u00eb vitit 1994 shkruajti n\u00eb gazet\u00ebn “The New York Times” nj\u00eb artikull t\u00eb \nmrekulluesh\u00ebm, dhe k\u00ebshtu  u b\u00eb adhuruesi m\u00eb i madh I Kanunit n\u00eb Shtetet e \nBashkuara. P\u00ebrs\u00ebri u b\u00ebm\u00eb miq\u00eb, pasi Shqip\u00ebria komuniste i kishte dh\u00ebn\u00eb viz\u00ebn \np\u00ebr t\u00eb vizituar at\u00eb vend. Kjo k\u00ebrkes\u00eb i ishte mohuar p\u00ebr m\u00eb shum\u00eb se 27 vjet. Ai \nkishte deshir\u00eb ta vizitonte Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb, ngase edhe babai i tij Caroll Binder e \nkishte vizituar k\u00ebt\u00eb vend n\u00eb vitin 1930 me rolin e gazetarit amerikan. Para se \nt\u00eb shkonte n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri iu luta t\u00eb takonte Isamil Kadaren\u00eb dhe t\u00eb m\u00eb sillte \nnumrin e telefonit t\u00eb tij. N\u00eb nj\u00eb shkrim nga Tirana tregonte p\u00ebr takimin me \nIsmail Kadar\u00ebn dhe nga ato fjali p\u00ebr Kadaren\u00eb n\u00eb “The New York Times” shihej se \nshkrimtari yn\u00eb ishte p\u00ebr ndryshime t\u00eb r\u00ebnd\u00ebsishme politike n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri. Un\u00eb \nshfryt\u00ebzova rastin dhe e thirra n\u00eb telefon n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb nj\u00eb dit\u00eb nga Z\u00ebri  i \nAmerik\u00ebs aty dikur rreth or\u00ebs 4 t\u00eb pasdit\u00ebs, dhe pas nj\u00eb nd\u00ebrprjeje t\u00eb shkurt\u00ebr \nu lidh\u00ebm p\u00ebrs\u00ebri. M\u00eb b\u00ebri disa vretje p\u00ebr Z\u00ebrin e Amerik\u00ebs. Nj\u00eb dit\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb \nElez Biberaj bisedoi me Kadaren\u00eb dhe at\u00eb dit\u00eb filluan lidhjet serioze me \nshkrimtarin ton\u00eb t\u00eb madh. K\u00ebto lidhje ishin merit\u00eb e David Binder. Gjat\u00eb viteve \n90′ David Binder  b\u00ebri shum\u00eb miq\u00eb por edhe armiq\u00eb n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri. Kishte nj\u00eb natyr\u00eb \nt\u00eb ashp\u00ebr prej kauboji(cowboy).  Ai pinte shum\u00eb alkol. E p\u00eblqente shum\u00eb rakin\u00eb  \ne rrushit dhe rakin\u00eb e kumbullave , at\u00eb t\u00eb rrushit e kishte m\u00ebsuar nga \nshqiptar\u00ebt, nd\u00ebrsa at\u00eb t\u00eb kumbullave nga s\u00ebrb\u00ebt. Ai kishte m\u00ebsuar shum\u00eb \nbarcaleta p\u00ebr popujt e Ballkanit, sidomos p\u00ebr boshnjak\u00ebt, serb\u00ebt e shqiptar\u00ebt. \nGjith\u00eb dit\u00ebn mund t\u00eb tregonte barcaleta. Barcaletat p\u00ebr boshnjak\u00ebt kishin m\u00eb \nshum\u00eb humor se t\u00eb tjerat. Kishte m\u00ebsuar pothuajse t\u00eb gjitha veset e \nballkanas\u00ebve. Kur pinte shum\u00eb tregonte p\u00ebr ato sjelljet e tij qesharake n\u00eb \nBallkan. Ai ka shkruar p\u00ebr Ismail Kadaren\u00eb m\u00eb shum\u00eb dhe m\u00eb mir\u00eb se asnj\u00eb gazetar \ntjet\u00ebr amerikan. N\u00eb fund t\u00eb viit 1996 n\u00eb n\u00eb bashk\u00ebpunim me biznesmenet  Dem\u00eb \nBalidemaj dhe Palok\u00eb Vulaj kisha organizuar nj\u00eb intervist\u00eb t\u00eb David Binder me \nIsmail Kadaren\u00eb n\u00eb Plaza Hotel n\u00eb New York. P\u00ebr k\u00ebt\u00eb intervist\u00eb q\u00eb u botua dy \njav\u00eb m\u00eb von\u00eb kishte ardhur nga Washingtoni  dit\u00ebn e vitit t\u00eb ri 1997. Titulli i \nasaj interviste ishte :”Me m\u00eb t\u00eb adhuruarin dhe me m\u00eb t\u00eb famshmin. (Most \nvenerateted and best known). Pothuajse krejt faqen e mbulonte intervista e k\u00ebtij \ngazetari t\u00eb madh me shkrimtarin ton\u00eb t\u00eb madh. Ai e quante Kadaren\u00eb shkrimtar \ngjenial dhe Mark Twain i shqiptar\u00ebve. Gjat\u00eb kriz\u00ebs politike n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri t\u00eb vitit \n1997 ishte n\u00eb an\u00ebn e socialist\u00ebve. Kurr\u00eb nuk e kishte th\u00ebn\u00eb nj\u00eb fjal\u00eb t\u00eb keqe  \np\u00ebr Fatos Nanon, aty k\u00ebtu shkruante mir\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb sidomos p\u00ebr humorin e tij. Ky \nkishte shkruar gj\u00ebr\u00ebsisht n\u00eb “The New York Times” p\u00ebr vdekjen e Enver Hoxh\u00ebs, ku \nkishte cituar profesor Arshi  Pip\u00ebn. As p\u00ebr politik\u00ebn e Ibrahim Rugov\u00ebs nuk \nkishte shkruar shum\u00eb. Me 13 mars t\u00eb vitit 1998 ne shqiptar\u00ebt e Amerik\u00ebs b\u00ebm\u00eb nj\u00eb \ndemonstat\u00eb n\u00eb Washington. At\u00eb dit\u00eb ambasadori amerikan n\u00eb Beograd Robert Gilbard \nkishte dh\u00ebn\u00eb d\u00ebshmi n\u00eb Kongres p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn dhe Ushtrin\u00eb \u00c7lirimtare t\u00eb saj. At\u00eb \ndit\u00eb Robert Gilbard kishte e deklaruar se U\u00c7K ishte ushtri \u00e7lirimtare. Kjo \nkishte ndodhur nj\u00eb jav\u00eb pas r\u00ebnjes heroike t\u00eb Adem Jasharit. Un\u00eb e ftova David \nBinder at\u00eb dit\u00eb p\u00ebr drek\u00eb. E pranoi ftes\u00ebn time dhe gjat\u00eb atij takimi iu luta q\u00eb \nt\u00eb shkonte n\u00eb Kosov\u00eb dhe t\u00eb vizitonte Prekazin pas asaj tragjedie. Nuk e \np\u00ebrfilli fare k\u00ebrkes\u00ebn time, bile nuk foli mir\u00eb p\u00ebr Adem Jasharin. Ato dit\u00eb \nkishte b\u00ebr\u00eb komente t\u00eb mbrapshta p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn n\u00eb televizionin amerikan. N\u00eb koh\u00ebn \nm\u00eb kritike nuk kishte th\u00ebn\u00eb asnj\u00eb fjal\u00eb t\u00eb mir\u00eb p\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn. N\u00eb at\u00eb koh\u00eb ishte \nn\u00eb dashuri me nj\u00eb grua sllave dhe mbase ajo e frym\u00ebzonte kund\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebs. K\u00ebto \nq\u00ebndrime b\u00ebn\u00eb q\u00eb p\u00ebrs\u00ebri t’i presim lidhjet me k\u00ebt\u00eb gazetar t\u00eb p\u00ebrmendur \namerikan.
Gjat\u00eb luft\u00ebs s\u00eb shqiptar\u00ebve n\u00eb Maqedoni n\u00eb pranver\u00eb dhe ver\u00eb t\u00eb \nvitit 2001, m\u00eb b\u00ebri telefon, duke cituar nj\u00eb shkrimtar shqiptar se ushtar\u00ebt \nShqiptar\u00eb t\u00eb Ushtris\u00eb Komb\u00ebtare kishin q\u00ebn\u00eb bolshevik\u00eb, klysh\u00eb t\u00eb Enver Hoxh\u00ebs e \nt\u00eb tjera. David Binder ishte dakord me deklarat\u00ebn e nj\u00eb intelektuali shqiptar \ndhe m\u00eb kritikoi se un\u00eb isha gabim. Ai ishte n\u00eb dijeni se  isha z\u00ebdh\u00ebn\u00ebs i tyre \nn\u00eb Shtetet e Bashkuara I asaj ushtrie. Ky q\u00ebndrim i tij m\u00eb zem\u00ebroi shum\u00eb. Para \nse ta nd\u00ebrprisnja lidhjen  telefonike i thash\u00eb: “The qaf\u00ebn dhe t\u00eb lutem mos m\u00eb \nthirr\u00eb m\u00eb, se ti je armik i shqiptar\u00ebve”. E ula telefonin dhe nuk fola me t\u00eb, \np\u00ebr m\u00eb shum\u00eb s\u00eb 7 vjet. Pas 7 vjet\u00ebsh e mora telefonin e tij nga Elez Biberaj i \ncili kishte pasur shum\u00eb f\u00ebrkime dhe mospajtime me t\u00eb. Elezi \u00ebsht\u00eb analist i \n\u00e7\u00ebshtjeve ballkanike dhe doktor i shkencave politike dhe mbante kontakte m\u00eb t\u00eb, \nsidomos gjat\u00eb ligj\u00ebratave n\u00eb institutet e larta akademike amerikane. M\u00eb kujtohet \nnj\u00eb bised\u00eb e ashp\u00ebr midis tyre para Sht\u00ebpsi\u00eb se Bardh\u00eb n\u00eb lidhje me Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb \nn\u00eb pranver\u00eb t\u00eb vitit 1997. Zotni Biberaj m\u00eb dha telefonin e tij. Pas disa dit\u00ebsh \ne thirra n\u00eb telefon. Ai vet e mori telefonin. Z\u00ebri i tij mu duk i panjohur. Ju \nluta n\u00ebse mund t\u00eb flisja  me David Binder. Un\u00eb tha ai jam David Binder. Por \nsipas z\u00ebrit nuk ishte ai David Binder q\u00eb kisha njohur shum\u00eb vjet m\u00eb par\u00eb.  Ai \ntha se vitetet e fundit kishte q\u00ebn\u00eb shum\u00eb i smur\u00eb. U g\u00ebzua shum\u00eb p\u00ebr telefonat\u00ebn \ntime. M\u00eb pyeti p\u00ebr disa shqiptaro-amerikan\u00eb. M\u00eb tregoi p\u00ebr nj\u00eb shkrim q\u00eb kishte \nbotuar  n\u00eb revist\u00ebn Mediterranean Quarterly p\u00ebr shqiptar\u00ebt dhe p\u00ebr Kanunin e \nLek\u00eb Djukagjinit. E pyeta n\u00ebse vazhdonte t\u00eb pinte raki rrushi dhe kumbullash? Po \ntha, por jo si dikur. Pas disa dit\u00ebsh i d\u00ebrgova me post\u00eb nj\u00eb shishe raki rrushi \nnga Mal\u00ebsia. Ai kishte m\u00ebsuar shum\u00eb p\u00ebr Mal\u00ebsin\u00eb e Madhe gjat\u00eb udh\u00ebtimeve nga \nPodgorica n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb. Bile n\u00eb vepr\u00ebn e tij “Lamtumir\u00eb Iliri ((Fare well Illyria) \nshkruan p\u00ebr coptimin  e fisit t\u00eb Hotit nd\u00ebrmjet Malit t\u00eb Zi dhe Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb n\u00eb \nvitin 1913. Gjat\u00eb udh\u00ebtimeve n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri sidomos n\u00eb Shkod\u00ebr kishte m\u00ebsuar shum\u00eb \np\u00ebr At.Gjergj Fisht\u00ebn. P\u00ebr Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb dhe historin\u00eb e saj ishte objektiv, por jo \np\u00ebr Kosov\u00ebn, ngase n\u00eb vepr\u00ebn e tij t\u00eb fundit q\u00eb e p\u00ebrmenda m\u00eb lart, vazhdon ta \nquaj\u00eb Kosov\u00ebn sipas em\u00ebrtimit s\u00ebrb Kosova dhe Metohija. David Binder ishte mik i \nshqiptar\u00ebve por jo mik i madh. Gjat\u00eb karrier\u00ebs s\u00eb tij n\u00eb fush\u00ebn e gazetaris\u00eb \nkishte b\u00ebr\u00eb edhe gabime t\u00eb m\u00ebdha p\u00ebr t\u00eb cilat ishte kritikuar dhe d\u00ebnuar nga \np\u00ebrgj\u00ebsit e k\u00ebsaj gazete. Ishte shum\u00eb i privilegjuar sepse kishte mbaruar \nstudimet n\u00eb Universitetin Harvard dhe m\u00eb von\u00eb kishte fituar burs\u00ebn Fulbright p\u00ebr \nspecializime n\u00eb K\u00ebln t\u00eb Gjermanis\u00eb. N\u00eb funeralin e presidentit t\u00eb Rumanis\u00eb \nGeorgie Dezh n\u00eb mars t\u00eb vitit 1965 rast\u00ebsisht ishte takuar me kryeministrin e \nKin\u00ebs Chou En-lai, dhe ashtu si\u00e7 ishte ai prej natyre t\u00eb jashtzakonshme I \nguximsh\u00ebm I kishte b\u00ebr\u00eb disa pyetje kryeministrit kinez. Ai ishte zem\u00ebruar dhe I \nishte p\u00ebrgjigjur: \u201cKam ardhur k\u00ebtu n\u00eb funeral dhe jo p\u00ebr t\u00eb dh\u00ebn\u00eb intervist\u00eb\u201d. \nK\u00ebrkova ta nd\u00ebrpres thot\u00eb Binder dhe m\u00eb tha: Largohu nga k\u00ebtu ti imperialist \namerikan\u201d. Tha se nuk kishte koh\u00eb p\u00ebr mua pasi do t\u00eb udh\u00ebtonte p\u00ebr n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri. \nNd\u00ebrkoh\u00eb David Binder e kishte pyetur n\u00ebse mund t\u00eb udh\u00ebtonin s\u00eb bashku me \naeroplanin e tij. Chou En-lai kishte th\u00ebn\u00eb se nuk kishte vend p\u00ebr t\u00eb n\u00eb \naeroplan. Kjo thot\u00eb Binder e kishte tronditur dhe ishte larguar n\u00eb heshtje. P\u00ebr \nmua dhe p\u00ebr Donika Bardh\u00ebn kishte nj\u00eb konsiderat\u00eb t\u00eb madhe, q\u00eb ai ma kishte \nshprehur disa her\u00eb gjat\u00eb takimeve tona. Konsiderata e tij p\u00ebr mua kishte lidhje \nme rolin tim pran\u00eb Z\u00ebrit t\u00eb Amerik\u00ebs, botimit t\u00eb Kanunit t\u00eb Lek\u00eb Dukagjinit dhe \naktivitete t\u00eb ndryshme p\u00ebr \u00e7\u00ebshtjen ton\u00eb. Nd\u00ebrsa p\u00ebr Donika Bardh\u00ebn kishte \nkonsiderat\u00eb t\u00eb madhe p\u00ebr inteligjenc\u00ebn dhe eleganc\u00ebn e saj dhe p\u00ebr \natdhedashurin\u00eb e madhe q\u00eb e shprehi me kthimin e saj n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri n\u00eb fillim t\u00eb \nviteve 90 p\u00ebr t\u00eb jetuar atje p\u00ebrgjithmon\u00eb. Un\u00eb personalisht ruaj kujtime t\u00eb mira \npor edhe t\u00eb hidhura nga ky kolos i gazetaris\u00eb amerikane. E kujtoj me shum\u00eb \nrespekt sidomos p\u00ebr modestin\u00eb e tij.
