Bujar Osmani Accused of Hypocrisy Over Non‑Grata Declarations

Macedonian politician Bujar Osmani is portrayed as defending imam Bekir Halimi and activist Valon Bela after the Albanian government in Tirana declared both individuals non‑grata. Critics allege that Osmani and his party, the Democratic Union for Integration (BDI), were instrumental in the decision, describing his stance as a double standard. The commentary cites the Albanian proverb “Natën të vret, ditën të qan” to highlight perceived hypocrisy, and references earlier controversies involving Osmani’s handling of media narratives.

Both articles are opinion pieces that argue the black‑list was driven by Osmani’s influence rather than independent Albanian policy, and they suggest the BDI’s political future is at risk because of the episode.
