What flag?

Polletics and Discussions About State symbols Kosovo's is continuing ten years after independence.

The debates have increased especially after the Kosovo Government's decision that the Albanian national flag, located in one of the entry parts, known as around Pristina, replace it with the Kosovo flag.

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj on Tuesday ordered that the state flag be deployed at Pristina's entrance, where the national Albanian flag had now been deployed.

In a Facebook post, Prime Minister Haradinaj has said that setting the Kosovo state flag is in honour of the 10th anniversary of independence.

“The national flag is our freedom flag. For centuries we have traveled with this flag and will always love and respect it with this flag aimed at international recognition. With this flag we develop Kosovo and the Euro-Atlantic future”, Haradinaj has written.

The move has not welcomed a group of citizens, but also of those politicians who believe the national symbols of Albanians cannot be replaced with those of Kosovo.

However, the Kosovo flag has already been deployed to the district in Pristina, although there are still differences or even thoughts that both flags should stay there.

A. Adam. Citizens from Pristina Says the Albanian national flag should be deployed in addition to the Kosovo flag.

I propose that within 24 hours of another circle, the one from the Veternik neighbourhood in Pristina will deploy the Albanian national flag and the people remain calm because they are angry. We should also place the Kosovo flag and the national flag of Albanians”, he says.

Local media have even published images, as reported by the town of Gjilan, where some citizens burn the Kosovo flag in protest of the decision to remove the Albanian national flag from Pristina's entry.

On the other hand, Halil Matoshi, adviser to Kosovo prime minister speaking to Radio Free Europe, says that Kosovo AlbaniansActually, there are two models of understanding of the nation.

According to him, Albanians usually take the model of the cultural nation, not the civic nation. The last model, he says, best fits the way and the will of how Kosovo is created, independent and sovereign state.

The Albanian “, and in general in the Balkans, there is a tradition of thinking about the nation and the state ranging from unitary, respectively, tradition, which the nation views as a reminder of the common past, such as blood, land and language. But there is another internationally accepted tradition that views the nation as political construction and civic political will”, Matosh points out.

However, he adds, debates over this issue are unnecessary and, according to him, the State must identify with its symbols in the world.

Kosovo today needs constitutional patriotism, which protects legitimacy and constitutionality because a nation under normal conditions means a human community subject to the same law of the same Constitution”, it says.

An even more severe debate is held on social networks, where different individuals write about and against identifying the state of Kosovo with state symbols.

About the controversy that has been created for the deployment of the Kosovo flag at the entrance of the capital, it has written on the social Facebook network, as well as the head of the Democratic League of Kosovo parliamentary group Avdullah Hoti.

He has written that the Kosovo flag should be deployed at any public institution, according to the state protocol.

“The LDK supports the restoration of the Kosovo state flag to the circle as high and dignified as possible. This flag should be deployed to any public institution, according to the state protocol. In every corner of the world to wave Kosovo's flag, the proud the two-headed eagle of Ismail Qemail Vlora will be. And, with the help of friends, we will put the Kosovo flag in the UN, just as President Rugova” was looking for, wrote Hoti.

Albanian National Flag Offset, Kosovo Flag Established by Vetevendosje Movement

In a post on the social network Facebook, this movement has condemned the removal of the Albanian national flag and the effort, as they say, to wipe Albania off the Kosovo page.

The official falmour has its seats as predicted in the law, and it also has places where the protocol arises on holiday occasions. But no law or regulation is designed to raise the official flag to the circle of Seferi, at the entrance of Pristina, neither in the dailyity nor on holiday occasions”, consider representatives of the Vetevendosje Movement.

They've asked those who removed it, to put the national flag back where it was before.

Meanwhile, political affairs analyst Ilir Ibrahim writes that there should be no doubt about the display of the state flag.

If, in the 10th anniversary of independence, there are politicians who have doubts about the appearance of the state flag, there is no doubt that many (enemy and enemies) will ask whether we deserve this state” Ibrahim wrote.

Since declaring independence on February 17th 2008, Kosovo has recognised 115 states. Meanwhile, he has become a member of many international organisations, including the most important financial and sports organisations.

But Kosovo has failed to round up its international subjectivity, as it has not become part of the United Nations Organisation and other organisations, which connect with the UN.
