Two "Non Gratas"/ When Dodik surrenders, Berisha remains a hostage to himself!
2025-10-20 18:43:56 / EDITORIAL
There are people who think they can resist reality indefinitely. Milorad Dodik was one of them. For years he defied the US, the EU and the Bosnian state structure itself, building a parallel system of power on the rhetoric of division and nationalism. But recent days have shown that even the strongest, when faced with the pressure of international realpolitik, are eventually forced to bow.
Dodik, declared non grata by the US and the UK, agreed to step down as president of the Republika Srpska. This was an act dictated not by reflection, but by isolation. For fear that any further step would lead him to an inevitable political end. The United States responded immediately by lifting sanctions on several of his associates, a clear signal that the only path to normalization is surrender, not confrontation.
In the same vein, it is not difficult to see the parallel with Sali Berisha, who, like Dodik, has been declared non grata by the US and Great Britain. He too has chosen to interpret international punishment as a conspiracy against him, constructing a parallel reality where every criticism is an enemy, every opponent a traitor, and every fact—part of a global conspiracy against the “historical leader.”
But unlike Dodik, who finally realized that clashing with the West leads nowhere, Berisha continues to fight with the shadows of the past. He is leading a battle that no longer has any ground, an opposition that is more of a personal tribune than a political alternative. With each passing day, he becomes more isolated, not only from the international community, but also from society itself, which is looking for something beyond the mythology of the past.
The consequences are obvious. The Democratic Party, once the sole pillar of the center-right, is today smaller than ever. It no longer represents the energy of hope, but like a nostalgic club, it wanders among insults and resentments. Berisha received the party’s seal not through an honest political process, but through an orchestrated scenario that also included the government he claims to be fighting. Former MP Ferdinand Xhaferraj said it openly: “The seal was not given to him by the court, but by Rama.” This truth, bitter but clear, shows that Berisha is today more an instrument of the system than a challenger to it.
Instead of building an opposition, he is destroying every possibility for its rebirth. Sometimes he holds the DP hostage by using it as a shield against justice, sometimes he seeks secret agreements with Rama to gain some political airtime. One day he calls for revolution, the next day he seeks peace for personal gain. In this political ping-pong, the DP is being dissolved, while Berisha is becoming the symbol of an opposition that lives only for survival.
Meanwhile, nothing has changed in his relationship with the US. Non grata remains there, Trump doesn't even know that there is a flame worshipper across the ocean who has created a wall of statements that can fall and trap him inside. For Berisha, as for Dodik, the fault is always others and never them because they are the angels of politics who will save democracies with totalitarian means.
Dodik's story is a clear warning: no one escapes reality. You can challenge it once, twice, but in the end, when the world closes its door, there is no longer any way, no light at the end of the tunnel.
Berisha still believes he can win by playing outside the rules. But as Bosnia showed, in politics as in life, those who do not accept reality become hostages to themselves.
