Lulzim Basha, the leader of the Euro-Atlantic Coalition, gave a different interview on the "Weekend" show on Klan Kosova, where he spoke about many topics, including his passion for reading and cinematography.
The former leader of the Democratic Party appears in the chef's version, as he cooks delicious pasta for friends from Kosovo he has hosted at his home.
During the conversation, Basha emphasized that he realized that sometimes it is easier to tell the truth in simple words than to try to give long explanations.
At one point in the interview, the journalist asked him about his friends and those of Prime Minister Edi Rama. Basha responded with humor, saying that his friends are in the campaign, while Rama's friends are in "7x7 = 313". This was a direct irony towards the political situation and Rama's leadership.
Also, during the interview, Basha mentioned that he is always willing to speak openly about important issues, but always choosing simple words to better communicate with the public.
Excerpt from the INTERVIEW:
Basha: Oh Ramee! Where are your friends?
Journalist: Let's see where your friends are and then talk about Rama's friends.
Basha: Mine are in the field, but where are Rama's? Because where they are, what we're going to do today will be worth it, learning how to cook where they are, at 7x7, 313. Welcome!
Journalist: Nice to meet you.
Basha: Are you hungry?
Journalist: Yes.
Basha: Let's start then.
Journalist: Do you think I'll return hungry to Kosovo again?
Basha: We'll see! It's not a bad thing to always be a little hungry. Being full is not a good thing. People should be hungry for life, they should be hungry for goodness, right?
Journalist: What are you most hungry for?
Basha: I am hungry, I have been hungry since I was little to learn and understand. I read a lot when I was little and then I also followed a lot of cinematography and I remain hungry to this day as a child, in the sense of curiosity. So, I am not satisfied with the knowledge of what surrounds me but I am always looking for facts, for truths, for explanations.
Journalist: What was the last thing you realized these days?
Basha: The last thing I realized these days is that sometimes it's better for people to tell the truth in simple words than to try to give long explanations, and that's why the joke we started with - where are we friends - remains, because it shows the truth of this country now on the eve of elections.
Journalist: What is hidden behind that truth? Why did you decide to launch the campaign in that form, if you will?
Basha: To be honest, it's not that it was, because I made a conscious choice for this job. Some say it came out on the road, because that's how God wanted it, it started as an exchange, where Rama, in one of his podcasts, addressed me, addressed the camera, and started saying "Lul, where are you? Lul, where are you?" and I answered and said, - I'm here, but where are you, and most importantly, where are my friends, because the main problem that this country has for economic development is corruption and the main indicator of corruption is the fact that Rama has many friends in 7x7, 313, which is the prison institution where ministers and mayors arrested for corruption are serving their sentences, or awaiting punishment.
Journalist: Do you also agree with the expression: "Behind a person, society is his mirror."?
Basha: Choose a friend better than yourself, and this is the next call "Oh Rame, choose a friend better than yourself, the people have been saying it for a long time. How is this? All your friends in prison. You made the wrong choice, Rame.
Journalist: And if you weren't opponents, do you think you would be the right friend for Rama?
Basha: We are not the same age group. I know many people who were friends with Rama, who if he had been with those friends, better friends than himself, as people say, maybe things would have been better, but we are different age groups.
Journalist: Age doesn't make a difference, I think.
Basha: We also have slightly different interests, and I'm very happy with my company Genta. (A2 Televizion)
