Enver Petrovci bought cigarettes to Serbs, tells why

Renowned Kosovo actor Enver Petrovci, in a weekly interview with the Serbian nationalist newspaper “Kurir”, speaks with homesickness for the former Yugoslavia and past time as theatre actor and film in Belgrade. At the same time, it expresses great disappointment with life in Kosovo, which it says is “life in dictatorship”.

“Conditions there (at the Ateli theatre 212 in Belgrade) were wonderful. Being in a buffet in such a company. I met Belgrade's smartest people and went to buy them cigarettes to accept me into their company. Of course, I was admitted to”, Petrovci says in an interview for “Kurir”, the reason for which his commitment is to the Serbian series “Shadows on the Balkans”.

For his commitments as an actor in Kosovo, Petrovci says he is currently teaching Albanian. I don't have that security when I speak Serbian on stage. I would have dared to improvise in Albanian”.

Asked “s can build rotten bridges” among the peoples of these sides, it answers: “we can hate for centuries, but sometimes we have to realise that we have to cross one another. We should have examples of our athletes and artists. We have to wait for politicians”.
For life in Kosovo, the actor says: “we live in dictatorship. You don't know for sure if you say anything against power. You're on the blacklist right now, no job. It just doesn't exist”.

Petrovci also shows that in Kosovo they often call Serbia's “spiun”.

When necessary, I am a patriot, and when it isn't, a Serb spy. If I criticize them, they say I lobby for Serbia. That's what people do. They love me, they value me. They also know I'm an actor and an Albanian, and I know what I am. No one ever bought me. I've always said what I thought. It has cost me many times and I have not repented. I said it was nice in Belgrade. We have politicians who were married to Serbs, and they hide it. We were once cheaper, safer, working and earning more”, Petrovci tells the Serbian newspaper.
Kosovo's most precious public personality for Petrovci is the president of the Kosovo Football Federation, former Belgrade Partizan football player Fadil Vokri, of whom he says “has always been held as a man”.

I've never heard of anyone speak badly. He's a better politician than me”, the actor says, demonstrating hope that Belgrade-based Partizan and Zvezda will be able to see in Pristina. Here, according to Petrovci, these teams still have fans.
