[ALBSA-Info] Kosova and Albania's politicians

[Kreshnik Bejko]

C'ti besh. Kushneri qenka egoist. Sakrifikoi
principin per hir te interesit personal (i.e
mospasjes te kokecarjeve qe zakonisht Berisha
i sjell atyre qe kane te bejne me te)Por nqs
ja ben jeten me te lehte Kushnerit per mua ska
problem fare kjo pune. Mua me vjen
keq vetem per ata "qindra mijra" (sipas RD)
qe ishin mpref me e takue e u zhgenjyen keq.
