Why the Croats?

As in many other sports, Croatia proved successful in football over the past two decades. Already, he arrived at the semifinals of the World Cup, and is likely to win the trophy for the first time.

This is not random success. Croatia and Serbia are among the most successful European nations in sports. This is the result of an extremely successful investment by the Yugoslav state from the early 1950s. In a smaller measure, Yugoslav sports education was seen by Kosovo and other countries that were part of it.

What remained of Yugoslavia after its collapse was the policy effort to interfere with sports. Once the Communist country wanted to promote its educational system and well - being through sports, but because of the wars that exerted pressure on the inside, sports became a weapon in the hands of politicians. Sports became a major tool of production and, of course, could not be allowed to develop freely.

Croatia today suffers the absence of its top football man, Zdravko Mamqit. He was pronounced a severe sentence on corruption, and an international arrest warrant was issued by his state, but managed to flee to Bosnia and take over this country's citizenship. Of course, with the help of Croatian President Kolinda Grabar Kitarovic, who after being caught by a wiretap, admitted that Mamaqi had made a lot of dinner and had had a lot of parties for her. Another thing that cannot be denied is that Momqi had been the sponsor of the Croatian president's campaign. Momqi, also a convicted criminal, is the main driver of Croatian footballers' successes. And it's the true architect of national success. Luka Modrick, Croatia's captain, had lied in court to help Mamaqi. Dejan Lovren had done the same. For these reasons, a very large part of the Croatian public feels disgusted with their national, and does not support it. So writes The Guardian in an article.

But Croatia is providing massive support to Kosovo Albanians. These guys don't want to know about the Mamach scandal, even though those who play soccer can barely get away. Albanians are supporting Croatia despite Luka Modrich's Nazi gesture after the match against Russia. In addition, despite the humiliation Kosovo suffered against Croatia in Shkodra, where it lost 6 to 0. We often see different teams that eventually lose a game and experience several goals, but the opponent throws out respect for them. Croatians showed ruthlessness towards Kosovo that night not that they had something against this state, but that they wanted to show the world how strong the criminal Momic had made them. And meanwhile, it was only the second qualifying game for Kosovo. But Kosovo Albanians do not want to know. They don't even want to know about the discrimination they got from Croats over the past few decades, documentary discrimination even in song. They don't want to know that Croatians committed terrible crimes, just like Serbs.

Right here lies the main element that causes sympathy among Albanians for Croats: we think they're the same as Serbs. And since there's an intervasive interracism, it can be believed there's a sprained, hidden love of Serbs. For those who raped us. Of course, I don't believe we should hate a certain nation. No matter what. That's because collective feelings are dangerous. But the problem here is internal racism. Racism against yourself. A feeling that is expressed in other forms: in public discurs as a need for pride in response to humiliation, and in private discours, also on Facebook, as a need for self-dignity.
