Marsi i vitit 1991 sh\u00ebnon nj\u00eb kthes\u00eb themelore n\u00eb historin\u00eb moderne shqiptare, nj\u00eb moment kur vet-izolimi gjys\u00ebmshekullor i regjimit komunist t\u00eb Enver Hoxh\u00ebs nisi t\u00eb \u00e7ahej, p\u00ebrfundimisht.

Vizita e tyre, pothuaj menj\u00ebher\u00eb pas n\u00ebnshkrimit, nj\u00eb jav\u00eb m\u00eb par\u00eb, n\u00eb Washington, t\u00eb Memorandumit p\u00ebr rivendosjen e marr\u00ebdh\u00ebnieve midis dy kombeve tona, ishte nj\u00eb shenj\u00eb e qart\u00eb e r\u00ebnd\u00ebsis\u00eb q\u00eb Washingtoni zyrtar i kushtonte Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb dhe shqiptar\u00ebve.

Marsi i vitit 1991 n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb nuk ishte thjesht nj\u00eb stin\u00eb kalimtare, nga nj\u00eb sistem n\u00eb tjetrin. Ishte nj\u00eb \u00e7arje n\u00eb koh\u00eb, nj\u00eb moment kur nj\u00eb vend si Shqip\u00ebria komuniste, i mbyllur e i vet-izoluar p\u00ebr gati pes\u00eb dekada, po p\u00ebrpiqej t\u00eb hapte syt\u00eb drejt bot\u00ebs s\u00eb lir\u00eb. N\u00eb ato dit\u00eb t\u00eb pazakonta, kisha privilegjin t\u00eb jem n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb, si pjes\u00eb e delegacionit t\u00eb Departamentit t\u00eb Shtetit i SHBA, krah p\u00ebr krah, p\u00ebr disa dit\u00eb, me mikun, kolegun dhe bashk\u00ebpun\u00ebtorin e ngusht\u00eb prej 5-dekadash, Dr Elez Biberaj. Ai ishte pjes\u00eb e delegacionit t\u00eb Kongresit amerikan, kryesuar nga Senatori \u00a0Dennis DeConcini i shtetit Arizona. Former Senator, Dennis DeConcini at VOA Albanian Service’s 70th Anniversary.\u00a0\u00a0 Mendoj se edhe Elezi do ishte dakort, se prania e tij ato dit\u00eb n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb \u2013 35-vjet m\u00eb par\u00eb — nuk ishte nj\u00eb mision i zakonsh\u00ebm zyrtar, si\u00e7 ishim m\u00ebsuar t\u00eb nd\u00ebrmirrnim dikur n\u00eb vende t\u00eb tjera, si pjes\u00eb e funksioneve tona zyrtare. Por ishte nj\u00eb kthim \u2013 ndon\u00ebse i vonuar, por i shum\u00ebpritur dhe thell\u00ebsisht personal \u2013 n\u00eb nj\u00eb atdhe, q\u00eb p\u00ebr vite ekzistonte vet\u00ebm n\u00eb kujtimet tona, rr\u00ebfime dhe mall. Tirana, 35-vjet m\u00eb par\u00eb, ishte e zymt\u00eb n\u00eb pamje dhe e trazuar n\u00eb shpirt. Rrug\u00ebt mbanin gjurm\u00ebt e nj\u00eb sistemi t\u00eb lodhur, nd\u00ebrtesat flisnin p\u00ebr izolimin, nd\u00ebrsa njer\u00ebzit \u2013 p\u00ebrkundrazi \u2013 p\u00ebr\u00e7onin, ndon\u00ebse me pak frik\u00eb, nj\u00eb energji t\u00eb re, nj\u00eb etje p\u00ebr ndryshim q\u00eb nuk mund t\u00eb fshihej m\u00eb nga askush.\u00a0 N\u00eb Tiran\u00ebn e atyre dit\u00ebve, realiteti ekonomik e politik ishte i zymt\u00eb: kudo varf\u00ebri ekstreme, munges\u00eb infrastrukture dhe nj\u00eb popullsi e etur p\u00ebr ndryshim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Megjithat\u00eb, ajo q\u00eb binte n\u00eb sy ishte shpresa p\u00ebr dit\u00eb m\u00eb t\u00eb mira. Turmat dhe individ\u00ebt q\u00eb p\u00ebrsh\u00ebndesnin dy delegacionet amerikane nuk shihnin thjesht p\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsues diplomatik\u00eb amerikan\u00eb ose p\u00ebrfaqsues t\u00eb VOA-s.  N\u00eb pranin\u00eb e delegacioneve amerikane, shqiptar\u00ebt vendas shihnin simbolin e nj\u00eb bote tjet\u00ebr.  Nj\u00eb bote t\u00eb lir\u00eb dhe demokratike, q\u00eb m\u00eb n\u00eb fund po afrohej edhe p\u00ebr \u2018ta.  Vet\u00eb prezenca e Elez Biberajt \u2013 nj\u00eb z\u00eb i besuesh\u00ebm nd\u00ebr vite p\u00ebr d\u00ebgjuesit e shumt\u00eb t\u00eb Z\u00ebrit t\u00eb Amerik\u00ebs n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri — ato dit\u00eb t\u00eb marsit, 1991 — sh\u00ebrbei gjithashtu si nj\u00eb sinjal politik, shpres\u00ebdh\u00ebn\u00ebs p\u00ebr elit\u00ebn e at\u00ebhershme shqiptare intelektuale, se epoka e vet-izolimit politik dhe ekonomik po merrte fund. Kontakti i drejtp\u00ebrdrejt\u00eb me p\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsuesit amerikan\u00eb, p\u00ebrfshir\u00eb figura si Dr Elez Biberaj, patjet\u00ebr q\u00eb ndikoi n\u00eb p\u00ebrshpejtimin e proceseve, jo vet\u00ebm t\u00eb mendimit t\u00eb pavarur dhe fjal\u00ebs s\u00eb lir\u00eb, por edhe t\u00eb hapjes dhe pluralizmit politik n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri. Nj\u00eb num\u00ebr intelektual\u00ebsh t\u00eb koh\u00ebs t\u00eb cil\u00ebt, jo m\u00eb larg se nj\u00eb muaj a dy p\u00ebrpara, nga frika refuzonin t\u2019i dilnin n\u00eb telefon Elezit p\u00ebr intervista tek VOA shqip, tani u gj\u00ebnd\u00ebn ball-p\u00ebrball me \u2018t\u00eb mu n\u00eb qend\u00ebr t\u00eb Tiran\u00ebs. Nuk besoj se kishte nevoj\u00eb p\u00ebr ndonj\u00eb prov\u00eb tjet\u00ebr se edhe p\u00ebr \u2018ta di\u00e7ka po ndryshonte, rr\u00ebnj\u00ebsisht dhe shpejt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mars\u2013prill 1991 ishte nj\u00eb nga ato \u00e7aste t\u00eb rralla kur historia nuk shkruhej n\u00eb libra, por p\u00ebrjetohej n\u00eb rrug\u00ebt e Tiran\u00ebs, n\u00eb korridoret e nd\u00ebrtesave shtet\u00ebrore dhe n\u00eb fytyrat e njer\u00ebzve, q\u00eb p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb, pas disa dekadash ndiheshin t\u00eb lir\u00eb t\u00eb shpresonin. T\u00eb gjendeshe n\u00eb Shqip\u00ebri me Elez Biberaj nuk ishte thjesht nj\u00eb p\u00ebrvoj\u00eb profesionale \u2014 ishte nj\u00eb privilegj historik megjithse p\u00ebrkonte me nj\u00eb periudh\u00eb trazimi dhe shprese, nj\u00ebkoh\u00ebsisht. Regjimi komunist po jepte shpirt, nd\u00ebrsa nj\u00eb realitet i ri, ende i paqart\u00eb, po p\u00ebrpiqej t\u00eb merrte form\u00eb e frym\u00eb.  N\u00eb Tiran\u00eb, gjith\u00e7ka dukej n\u00eb tranzicion: institucionet, retorika politike, madje edhe vet\u00eb gjuha e komunikimit publik. N\u00eb k\u00ebt\u00eb atmosfer\u00eb, prania e Elez Biberaj, me p\u00ebrvoj\u00ebn e tij n\u00eb analiz\u00ebn e zhvillimeve politike n\u00eb Evrop\u00ebn Lindore dhe Ballkan, ishte nj\u00eb udh\u00ebrr\u00ebfyes i \u00e7muar.  Ai e kuptonte Shqip\u00ebrin\u00eb jo vet\u00ebm si nj\u00eb rast studimi, por edhe si nj\u00eb plag\u00eb historike q\u00eb k\u00ebrkonte sh\u00ebrim t\u00eb thell\u00eb. Takimet e atyre dit\u00ebve \u2014 me p\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsues t\u00eb qeveris\u00eb s\u00eb rr\u00ebnuar komuniste, me figura t\u00eb reja t\u00eb opozit\u00ebs, me intelektual\u00eb dhe qytetar\u00eb t\u00eb thjesht\u00eb \u2014 kishin nj\u00eb element t\u00eb p\u00ebrbashk\u00ebt: etjen p\u00ebr ndryshim dhe frik\u00ebn nga e panjohura. Shqip\u00ebria ishte n\u00eb nj\u00eb udh\u00ebkryq, dhe askush nuk kishte nj\u00eb hart\u00eb t\u00eb qart\u00eb p\u00ebr rrug\u00ebn p\u00ebrpara. Mbaj mend diskutimet e gjata me Elezin, ku ai theksonte se sfida m\u00eb e madhe nuk ishte rr\u00ebzimi i sistemit t\u00eb vjet\u00ebr \u2014 kjo tashm\u00eb kishte filluar \u2014 por nd\u00ebrtimi i institucioneve t\u00eb q\u00ebndrueshme demokratike. \u201cDemokracia,\u201d thoshte ai, \u201cnuk \u00ebsht\u00eb nj\u00eb akt, por nj\u00eb proces q\u00eb k\u00ebrkon koh\u00eb, durim dhe mbi t\u00eb gjitha, vullnet politik.\u201d N\u00eb rrug\u00ebt e Tiran\u00ebs, njer\u00ebzit na ndalonin, na pyesnin p\u00ebr Amerik\u00ebn, p\u00ebr lirin\u00eb, p\u00ebr mund\u00ebsit\u00eb e reja. Kishte nj\u00eb idealiz\u00ebm t\u00eb past\u00ebr, pothuaj naiv, p\u00ebr at\u00eb q\u00eb p\u00ebrfaq\u00ebsonte Amerika. P\u00ebr shum\u00eb prej tyre, Amerika ishte sinonim i demokracis\u00eb, drejt\u00ebsis\u00eb dhe mir\u00ebqenies, nj\u00eb kontrast i fort\u00eb me realitetin q\u00eb kishin p\u00ebrjetuar p\u00ebr dekada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pas atij entuziazmit fshihej edhe nj\u00eb realitet i ashp\u00ebr: ekonomia e rr\u00ebnuar, mungesa e p\u00ebrvoj\u00ebs demokratike, dhe mbi t\u00eb gjitha, hija e gjat\u00eb e s\u00eb kaluar\u00ebs komuniste shihej gjithkund. Kjo ishte dilema e madhe e Shqip\u00ebris\u00eb s\u00eb vitit 1991 \u2014 si t\u00eb nd\u00ebrtohej e ardhmja pa u \u00e7liruar plot\u00ebsisht nga e kaluara.  Gjat\u00eb qendrimit ton\u00eb n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb, marsin e 1991 me Elezin e kishim ber\u00eb zakon e dilnim n\u00eb Sheshin Skenderbeu p\u00ebr t\u00eb v\u00ebzhguar atmosfer\u00ebn, duke d\u00ebgjuar dhe duke p\u00ebrthithur \u00e7do detaj. Nuk kishim nevoj\u00eb p\u00ebr shum\u00eb fjal\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb kuptuar situat\u00ebn as edhe nj\u00ebri-tjetrin. T\u00eb dy e ndjenim se po jetonim nj\u00eb moment q\u00eb do t\u00eb mbetej n\u00eb histori, p\u00ebr t\u00eb ardhmen e shqiptar\u00ebtve por edhe n\u00eb kujtes\u00ebn ton\u00eb, p\u00ebrgjithmon\u00eb. Por, si\u00e7 kam theksuar edhe n\u00eb shkrimin e para disa dit\u00ebve n\u00eb lidhje me k\u00ebt\u00eb p\u00ebrvjetor, ajo q\u00eb na preku m\u00eb shum\u00eb ishin njer\u00ebzit. N\u00eb \u00e7do kontakt \u2013 t\u00eb rast\u00ebsish\u00ebm apo zyrtar \u2013 ndjehej nj\u00eb d\u00ebshir\u00eb e fort\u00eb p\u00ebr t\u00eb komunikuar, p\u00ebr t\u00eb treguar p\u00ebrvojat, shpesh t\u00eb tmershme nga jeta e tyre dhe p\u00ebr tu d\u00ebgjuar hallet e tyre nga t\u00eb huajt q\u00eb ato dit\u00eb kishin ardhur p\u00ebr her\u00eb t\u00eb par\u00eb n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb, nga Amerika dhe nga Evropa Per\u00ebndimore<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elezi n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb me nj\u00eb delegacion t\u00eb Kongresit Amerikan e un\u00eb me delegacionin e DASH, gjat\u00eb dit\u00ebs kishim agjenda t\u00eb ndryshme, por takoheshim n\u00eb hotelin e \u201cfamsh\u00ebm\u201d Dajti, ku q\u00ebndronin t\u00eb gjitha delegacionet e huaja.  Prandaj, mbr\u00ebmjet ishin m\u00eb t\u00eb lira p\u00ebr t\u00eb shk\u00ebmbyer biseda e p\u00ebr t\u00eb b\u00ebr\u00eb krahasime.

A do t\u00eb mundte t\u00eb nd\u00ebrtonte institucione demokratike? A do t\u00eb arrinte t\u00eb \u00e7lirohej jo vet\u00ebm nga sistemi komunist, por edhe m\u00eb me r\u00ebnd\u00ebsi, nga mend\u00ebsia komuniste q\u00eb regjimi i eg\u00ebr i Enver Hoxh\u00ebs kishte l\u00ebn\u00eb pas. Si njoh\u00ebs i thell\u00eb i realitetit shqiptar nd\u00ebr vite, Dr Elez Biberaj si, gjithmon\u00eb, sillte nj\u00eb qart\u00ebsi analitike q\u00eb m\u00eb ndihmonte mua dhe koleg\u00ebve tan\u00eb ato dit\u00eb n\u00eb Tiran\u00eb t\u00eb kuptonim m\u00eb mir\u00eb kompleksitetin e asaj q\u00eb po ndodhte para syve tan\u00eb.
