This was better than a stand up comedy.Anyway, he exaggerates but there is plenty of truth also. Apparently this guy writes funny/bad stuff for all countries. This should neither invalidate his article, nor justify albanian mentality today... because... its true in some basic parts (family and money?!!).
This article received a reply from Genci Kojdheli, an activist of G99 group. He tried to recover the national pride. Whoever finds his reply post it here.
But, overall, be constructive people, dont blame Gill for that paper. Try to take the true parts out of it. And you will understand how we can become quite ridiculous.
Up to now, no foreign report has been posted about the "presumed" progress in Albania.
P.s. Balerina, is trying to enter NATO and EU that provides a positive insight of Albania? That is exactly what is ridiculed by Gill. To tell the truth, albanians want to enter Europe to gain advantages from that, to feel assured that they'll be governed by more trustful EU politicians rather than albanian corrupt politicians. There is nothing positive in this, because it's more important to find a national identity and development, than trying to find the solutions by entering EU.
