President Bajram Begaj has decided to dismiss one of the historical employees of the Presidency in 4 mandates, currently with the position of director of the Directorate of Foreign Relations and Media, Edvin Shvarc.
The reasons and motives for this dismissal are not known, which has created a bad taste in the network, especially among journalists who know Shvarc's full CV more closely.
Here are some of them:
Blendi Fevziu: Apparently, the American diploma is not as valid as the one from Tirana. Is the diploma so important for someone who has been an icon of that institution for 20 years?! I do not know! I only know that Edvin Shvarc will no longer be there and I hope he will never return to New York, because whether he is at work or away, he will always miss Tirana very much. He loves Albania very much.
Andi Bejtja: I had never thought that even in my worst dream, since the end of August, in the heat of Tirana, when they continue to take the road never to return, not only nurses, plumbers and waiters, but all those who know two words of English, German or Greek, at a time when businessmen are looking for workers from Bangladesh, when institutions are looking and looking in vain for certified professional translators, when people who know state papers, protocols are at their fingertips, you can find them without work such a capable and honest servant of the Albanian State as Edvin Shvarc.
Esiona Konomi: You can be half a doctor, half a soldier or a full soldier, as long as no one asks you for a diploma to make you President. But if you have a degree in America and not in Albania, you cannot continue to be an employee in the presidency, even if you have 20 years of experience. Edvin Shvarc is one of the rarest statesmen I have met in our institutions.
Beti Numa: Today, the official at the head of the state that I don't want to call president committed a crime. But unlike what Bob Dylan sings in these verses of the famous "Political World", crime has a name and a face: Edvin Shvarc! But I am convinced that Bajram Begaj has not heard the well-known song of the famous singer-songwriter and Nobel laureate. Even less does he know that it was translated into Albanian a decade ago by Edvin Shvarc, the well-known translator of the equally well-known father Robert Shvarc.
Lutfi Dervishi: The case of Edvin Shvarc, who worked over 20 years for 4 Presidents, shows that the Presidency has entered a new phase, when a person can be fired for... skills!
Edlira Prendi: In the years when I worked as a journalist, Edvin Shvarc served as Communications Director in the Presidency. He is probably one of the few people who imposed respect from the first meeting, without arrogance but with professionalism, correctness and kindness. Accurate, prepared, uncompromising, dignified in everything it requires and represents a task in the country's highest institution. Sorry for this decision.
Olti Curri: Edvin Shvarc, you are a lot for Albania, the family you come from, the spirit in which you were raised and educated and cultured are too much for a poor, ignorant and wild neighborhood like ours. You are rare even in the world, imagine in a tin country like ours. In silence, with class and finesse, he leaves the shame to a country, a government, and an entire presidency. Good luck wherever your path continues.
Who is Edwin Schwartz!
Edvin Shvarc is a translator by profession, the son of the most valuable Albanian translator Robert Shvarc. He has been working in the Presidency for over two decades, where he has replaced four heads of state and headed several directorates, such as that of Foreign Relations, the Directorate of Communication, the Directorate of Protocol, as well as serving as an official translator of four Presidents, equipped even with the security certificate, higher than that of NATO.
