Albanians Love American Presidents - Democrat and Republican

Bush Is Greeted Warmly in Albania

By SHERYL GAY STOLBERG

TIRANA, Albania, June 10 — His poll numbers may be in the tank at home, but when he zipped through this tiny, relentlessly pro-American nation today, President Bush was received like a rock star.

Military cannons boomed a 21-gun-salute in his honor. Thousands jammed Scanderbeg Square in downtown Tirana, wearing Uncle Sam top hats in the sweltering sun, hoping to glimpse the presidential motorcade. The superlatives flowed so freely that Mr. Bush looked a tad sheepish when Prime Minister Sali Berisha proclaimed him “the greatest and most distinguished guest we have ever had in all times.”

The eight-hour stop — Mr. Bush left Rome in the morning and was headed to Sofia, Bulgaria, tonight — makes him the first sitting American president to visit this former Communist state. He used his stop to tell Albanians what they wanted to hear — that he supports their bid for NATO membership and wants independence for Kosovo soon without making any fresh commitments.

“At some point in time, sooner rather than later, you’ve got to say, ‘Enough is enough. Kosovo is independent,’ ” Mr. Bush said. He said any plan to extend talks on Kosovo such as the one proposed recently by President Nicolas Sarkozy of France must end with “certain independence.”

The future of Kosovo, a largely Albanian breakaway province of Serbia, is of paramount interest here; some Kosovars traveled to Tirana to join the crowd awaiting Mr. Bush. The United Nations Security Council is considering a plan for independence, but Russia objects. On Saturday in Rome, the president agreed there should be a deadline to end the United Nations talks, saying, “In terms of a deadline, there needs to be one, it needs to happen.”
But today, less than 24 hours later, Mr. Bush tried to backtrack when asked when that deadline might be.

“First of all, I don’t think I called for a deadline,” Mr. Bush said, during a press appearance with Prime Minister Berisha in the courtyard of a government ministry building. He was reminded that he had.

“I did?” he asked, sounding surprised. “What exactly did I say? I said ‘deadline’? Okay, yes, then I meant what I said.”

The visit to Albania, the fifth stop on Mr. Bush’s eight-day, six-country swing through Europe — was a welcome respite for the president after Rome, where protests against him turned violent. This largely Muslim country, population 3.6 million, is just the kind of nation Mr. Bush likes best: a nascent democracy whose history includes a dramatic break with totalitarian rule.
While other Eastern European nations are generally friendly to Mr. Bush, even if they do have some reservations about his visa policies and plans for a missile defense network in Czech Republic and Poland, Albania is more than friendly. It is gushing.

The country, one of the poorest in Eastern Europe, has just issued three postage stamps bearing Mr. Bush’s likeness, and a street in front of the Parliament building has been renamed for him. At the mosque in the center of town, Uncle Sam hats were stacked in a window seat in the prayers room.

Even the war in Iraq is popular here.

“U.S.A. have the right and responsibility for all the world to protect the freedom,” said Ilir Lamçe, 37, a financial analyst who was among those waiting for Mr. Bush, expressing the views of many. “This is the right war.”

Albanians have a long history of fondness toward America, dating back to President Woodrow Wilson, who saved the country from being split from its neighbors after World War I. President Bill Clinton, who rescued ethnic Albanians from the Kosovo War, is remembered warmly here, as is Mr. Bush’s father.

Today, all that love poured in Mr. Bush’s direction, and when Mr. Bush jumped briefly out of his limousine during a stop near the prime minister’s villa in the town of Fusche Kruje, the crowd turned into a virtual mosh pit.

Hands were shooting at the president from all directions, grabbing his sleeves, rubbing his graying hair. Women kissed him on both cheeks. Men jostled to get close to him, as Secret Service agents encircled him. As he stood on the running board of his limousine, waving before ducking back in the car, a second limo pulled up to protect him from the back.

Even so, Mr. Bush left some of his adoring public disappointed. They wished that their hero, the American president, would stay longer — or at least take the time to deliver a speech in public.
“This is Albania,” said Alba Mujarrem, 50, gesturing toward the throng at Scanderbeg Square. “Albania is a quiet place. Please, why not to take a speech in front of us here? Why not?”

A History Of Albanian Love For America

http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/0611/p04s02-woeu.htm

"There is a strong feeling of gratefulness that the Albanian people nourish towards the United States, whether it be their politicians or people," says Ferit Hoxha, secretary general of the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. "


The largely Muslim country, one of Europe's poorest, sees the visit Sunday by President Bush as a reward for its support of the war on terror.

By Nicole Itano Correspondent of The Christian Science Monitor

TIRANA, Albania

Dogged by protest for much of his European tour, President Bush received a warmer welcome Sunday in Albania, a former communist country eager to show that it remains one of America's staunchest allies.

Tirana, the capital, was festooned with giant American flags and the president was greeted by Albanians in red-white-and-blue Uncle Sam top hats. Mr. Bush, the first sitting president to visit Albania, traveled down a boulevard renamed in his honor.
"We have come to give our hearts to America and to President Bush to say that we are with them in the war on terrorism and we appreciate what they have done for Kosovo and for Albanians," says Arjanit Iljazi, a nurse who waited for hours to catch a glimpse of Bush in a central square Sunday morning.

Albanians see this weekend's visit, the second-to-last stop on the president's Eastern European tour, as a reward for their country's staunch pro-American sentiment and its support of US antiterrorism efforts. It's sent troops to Iraq and Afghanistan, frozen the assets of suspected terrorist-financiers, and taken in eight former Guantánamo Bay detainees whom no other country would take in.

"There is a strong feeling of gratefulness that the Albanian people nourish towards the United States, whether it be their politicians or people," says Ferit Hoxha, secretary general of the Albanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Roots of pro-American sentiment

The roots of Albanian pro-American sentiment, people here say, date to Woodrow Wilson's support of the country's independence after World War I and were cemented during the 1999 NATO intervention in Kosovo, a majority ethnic Albanian province of Serbia. Albanians also see the US as the strongest advocate for the independence of Kosovo, whose status is due to be reviewed by the UN Security Council this month.

Although Albania's contribution to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are numerically small – 120 troops in Mosul, and 30 in Afghanistan with an additional 110 to come soon – they have a symbolic importance for the US. The US sees Albania as a model of moderate Islam and religious tolerance. Officially 70 percent Muslim, the country has a strong secular ethos after nearly a quarter of a century of state-enforced atheism under communism.

"I appreciated the fact that Albania is a model of religious tolerance," Bush said in a press conference with the Albanian prime minister. "And I appreciate the fact that Albania is a trusted friend and a strong ally."

Even in mosques, they love US

Pro-American sentiment is widespread here, even among Albania's Muslim faithful. At the historic Ottoman-era Ethem Bey mosque in central Tirana, the worshipers emerging from midday prayers last week said they welcomed President Bush.
Few of the men were bearded and many of the women's heads were uncovered; during prayers they borrowed scarves from a plastic bag near the entrance.
"We want better relations between the two countries," says the mosque's imam, Shaban Saliaj, who is also the mufti – the highest Sunni Muslim leader – of Tirana and looks very much like the professor of geophysics he once was. "Everyone is grateful for what the Americans did in Kosovo."


Mr. Saliaj does not support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan – the Koran forbids killing, he says – but still supports the US. On the streets, other Albanians expressed mixed opinions about the military campaigns there. But there is little public debate in Albania about their government's support of the wars, and it's difficult to find anyone in Tirana, politician or ordinary person, who has anything bad to say about America.

"I think the sentiment is pro-American rather than pro-Bush," says Endri Fuga, director of communications for Mjaft! Movement, one of Albania's largest activist organizations. For many Albanians who remember communism, he says, America still represents the ideal of freedom and democracy.

Poor country with high hopes

During the communist era, Albania was perhaps the most isolated and underdeveloped country in Europe. The country is still one of the poorest on the continent, but since the end of communism in 1992 it has allied itself closely with America and Western Europe.
The country hopes to gain NATO membership in 2008 and, eventually, to win a place in the European Union.

Bush reiterated the United States' support of Albania's NATO bid and emphasized that he is committed to Kosovo gaining its independence.
Seremb Gjergjaj, who drove more than six hours from Kosovo with friends in hopes of catching a glimpse of the president, says he came to thank Bush for America's support and that Kosovars would be patient.

"We have a saying in Kosovo that good things come slow."

Albanians Love America So Much They Name Their Kids After American Presidents

"After Albania emerged from decades of communist isolation in 1990, it became fashionable for families to name their children "Bill," "George" and even "Hilary" to show appreciation to the U.S. Now, Albania is seeking membership in NATO and the European Union and wants to be friends with Washington."

TIRANA, Albania -- President Bush is unpopular at home, but he's a hero in this desperately poor, former communist country.He was welcomed like a rock star Sunday in one of the most enthusiastic receptions he's seen in years.

Throngs of people grasped Bush's arms on the streets of Fushe Kruje, a small town where he stopped to chat in a cafe with business owners.

Unused to such adoring crowds in America, Bush reveled in the attention.
He kissed women on the cheek, posed for pictures and signed autographs. Someone rubbed his gray hair.

The excitement provided the kind of television pictures that White House officials have longed for.

"Bushie, Bushie," people shouted.The crowd, several deep on the sidewalk, stretched for several blocks. Some of the business people have received small loans under U.S. government programs.
After Albania emerged from decades of communist isolation in 1990, it became fashionable for families to name their children "Bill," "George" and even "Hilary" to show appreciation to the U.S. Now, Albania is seeking membership in NATO and the European Union and wants to be friends with Washington.

Prime Minister Sali Berisha said Bush was "the greatest and most distinguished guest we have ever had in all times."

Bush told Albania what it wanted to hear: independence for neighboring Kosovo is certain. "That's what's important to know," the president said. It's an important issue here because 90 percent of the population of Kosovo is ethnic Albanian.
