I bought this shirt a long time ago now and it went on a complete journey with me around the world for many years. It was like my teddy and comfort. Then I decided to give it to my ex when we split. He said "are you sure? This is your FAVOURITE tshirt" I thought that if I let it go, I would learn how to let go of something I truly loved. I wore it to my first art show, and he too an artist, I left it all behind and I never found that side of me again.

This tshirt conjures warm memories of young adulthood and my dyed art hair and meeting travellers I never saw again.

MPs from the opposition Democratic Party of Kosovo, PDK, physically attacked Prime Minister Albin Kurti and government ministers during Kurti’s speech in parliament on Thursday, as a physical fight erupted between the two groups.

Parliament speaker Glauk Konjufca, from Kurti’s ruling Vetevendosje party, called the incident “unacceptable”. “The use of violence is also punishable, to be condemned by all of us,” he said, adding that the police will deal with any “physical attack” that happened in parliament.

Ructions started while Kurti was talking about the situation in the Serb-majority north, and was interrupted by opposition MPs who called him a “liar”. PDK MP Ganimete Musliu placed a photo-montage of Kurti with an elongated liar’s nose on the parliamentary podium, which was removed by Deputy PM Besnik Bislimi.

Soon after, PDK MP Mergim Lushtaku approached Kurti and threw water at him and Bislimi. The Minister of Finance, Hekuran Murati, then placed himself in the middle, moving a file in the air.

But he was pushed by Lushtaku, who was then hit by Bislimi with a bottle of water. Lushtaku then had a physical collision with Minister of Justice, Albulena Haxhiu, and more MPs from the PDK and government ministers joined in the fight, while speaker Konjufca called for the police.

Vetevendosje MP Fitore Pacolli said that when the incident happened, Kurti was talking about “extending [Kosovo’s] sovereignty and control in the north,” claiming he was attacked because what he was saying “hinders the opposition”.

But Lushtaku from the PDK on Facebook claimed his reaction with the water bottle was directed against both Kosovo Serb businessman Milan “Radoicic and his servant”. Radoicic is widely considered the real powerholder in the Serb-majority north.

The affray started in Thursday’s parliamentary session after recordings were published of the Vetevendosje parliamentary group chief, Mimoza Kusari-Lila, meeting Slavko Simic, a former MP for the Belgrade-backed Kosovo Serb party, Srpska Lista.

In the recordings, published by Kosovo media outlet Nacionale, believed to date from June last year, the two mention that Kusari-Lila has discussed matters with Radoicic, also Srpska Lista deputy leader, particularly on electricity in the north.

Kosovo Serbs in four municipalities in the north have not paid their electricity bills since the Kosovo war ended; 2013 and 2015 Brussels agreements between Kosovo and Serbia, designed to solve this and other issues, have not been implemented.

Radoicic is currently wanted in Kosovo on suspicion of corruption in construction in Brezovica mountain resort and is also a suspect for the murder of a rival Kosovo Serb politician, Oliver Ivanovic, in 2018. Radoicic is also on a US black list for involvement in international organised crime.

Kusari-Lila confirmed that she had spoken with Radoicic, and that PM Kurti, as leader of Vetevendosje, had been informed. Vetevendosje has regularly criticised politicians who have been seen with Radoicic.

Eliza Hoxha, on behalf of PDK MPs, on Thursday called for parliament to be dissolved and for extraordinary elections, claiming that the audio-recordings proved links between Kurti, Srpska Lista and Radoicic.

“What more needs to happen to understand that you are caught by a criminal who is on a black list in America, and has an arrest warrant from the Prosecutor’s Office? Neither your resignation nor dismissal are enough because you have daily coordination with Radoicic, not with the Albanians or with the internationals,” Hoxha told the assembly.

Before the altercation in parliament, Kurti had claimed that, before his government was formed, in 2021, an arrest warrant for Radoicic, for suspected involvement in the murder of Ivanovic, had been revoked.

“Under previous governments, this criminal was in Mitrovica and in Pristina [in Kosovo]. Now, because of our contribution, he is in a hotel in Kopaonik, in Serbia,” Kurti said.

US ambassador to Kosovo Jeffrey Hovenier condemned the violence in parliament, writing on Twitter that, “resorting to violence is never an acceptable means to express disagreement”.

The head of the other main opposition party, the Democratic League of Kosovo, LDK, Arben Gashi, blamed the government for the fight.

He claimed the situation “escalated when ministers attacked an MP. Ministers constantly have behaved violently against MPs. I have asked several times for measures to be taken against the ministers.”

Last week I dropped by Pacolli’s studio in the Tenderloin to check out her space, as well as catch up and conversate about the Art and Music scene in the Bay Area, as well as art shows she has participated in and just life in general. It was cool to see a lot of the things she’s held onto over the years, like pieces from artists that she’s had group shows with as well as a lot of her older prints and work from the past. Also, this year marks her 10th year living in San Francisco. Thank you, @pacollipacolli for having me!

Between 2017 and 2020, Albania Prime Minister Edi Rama, his advisors and the former minister of Infrastructure, Damian Gjiknuri, spent some $6,000 US while staying at the Trump International hotel in Washington DC, owned by then US President Donald Trump.

The details of these expenditures are part of a 156-page report called “White House for sale, How Princes, Prime Ministers, and Premiers Paid Off President Trump” that was produced by Democrats on the House of Representatives’ Oversight Committee.

The report says such payments were attempts to influence the then US President.

Using documents obtained following a legal battle by Mazars company, the report details expenses of foreign officials on various Trump-owned businesses, totaling $8.7 million.

“By elevating his personal financial interests and the policy priorities of corrupt foreign powers over the American public interest, former President Trump violated both the clear commands of the Constitution and the careful precedent set and observed by every previous Commander-in-Chief,” Congressman Jamie Raskin, the main Democrat member of the Committee, wrote in the foreword of the report.

According to the report, in January and March 2018, Rama’s advisors, Dorjan Duçka, Endri Fuga and Keisi Seferi, spent over $1,000 each in the Trump International Hotel. Rama himself spent $1,158 during a visit in March 2018. His former minister of Infrastructure Damian Gjiknuri spent $1,025 in June 2018 for a one-night stay.

Along with Albanian officials, Kosovo’s former deputy premier Behgjet Pacolli and other officials from Kosovo spent over $4,950 in the same hotel, the report shows.

At the time of President Trump’s election, the Albanian opposition Democratic Party, and its leader, Lulzim Basha, (whose Trump-like slogan was “Make Albania Great Again”) accused PM Rama’s ruling Socialist Party of endemic corruption and ties to organised crime.

Following the 2017 elections in Albania, the opposition organised protests and boycotted the parliament, claiming the government had won the elections by collusion with organised crime and vote buying.

As the parties in Albania fought each other, their clashes were transferred across the ocean, as both parties attempted to influence the Trump administration through lobbying campaigns.

Rama’s Socialists hired Brian Ballard, a Trump campaigner in Washington DC, for $20,000 a month. Rama’s rival, Basha, engaged Nicholas Muzin, former aide to US conservative Senator Ted Cruz and an advisor to the Trump campaign.

Through Muzin, Basha secured a photo opportunity with Trump and used it widely in his electoral campaign back home, albeit without success.

The report says Rama’s stay in the Trump International Hotel was connected with his meeting with the now disgraced former FBI counterespionage agent Charles McGonigal, who was sentenced in December 2023 to four years in jail for providing services to sanctioned Russian oligarch and Putin agent Oleg Deripaska.

“Federal prosecutors have alleged that on March 4, Mr Rama dined with Charles McGonigal, a former FBI counterintelligence chief, and Agron Neza, a New Jersey businessman who previously worked at an Albanian intelligence agency,” the report notes.

Rama chose to stay in the Trump hotel during his visit in March 2018. For the two-night stay, Rama and his advisors spent $3,474. They stayed on the same floor as Neza. Dorjan Duçka, another of Rama’s advisors, booked four rooms for the two nights on January 18 and 19 2018, for some $1,503.

US Congressmen found out also that Albania Former Minister of Energy Damian Gjiknuri chose the same hotel for his stay in DC on June 24 to 26 2018, paying some $1,025.66.

Albania parties spent huge sums on bids to influence US politics, often raising questions about the source of the money.
