Gucati says Presevo Valley problem growing every day

In a reaction to it through Facebook account, Gucati has said that this problem is not only of the Albanians in the Valley, Serbia and Albanians in general, but of international size.

For more, here's his full reaction:

Eastern Kosovo, or as they are calling the Presevo Valley in political vocabulary, is ahead of major, but not unsolvable crossroads. The ethnic problem of Albanians living in the Presevo Valley is large and growing every day.

This problem is not just the Albanians of the Valley, of Serbia and Albanians in general, but is a problem of international size. The Presevo Valley has three municipalities with a geographical space of over 1,200 sq km and over 800,000 Albanian residents.

In 1948, Presevo, Medvedja's Bujanovac were an integral part of Kosovo, but were forcedly attached to Serbia. With the Presevo Valley, the continent of the Albanian territories until Preveza begins. We have learned from history that from Kosovo's four early Sands, Kosovo's Vilajetti (1877-1912) was formed with headquarters in Pristina (1877-1880) and later in Skopje 1880-1912.

Kosovo's Vilajjet was divided into Sandzak, Pristina, Skopje, Jani Pazarit (New Bazaar), Nis, Pirot (JeshilKoj), Prizren, Debar, Peja, Sjenica, and Tashlidja (Plevla), Albanian-run territories were two thousand years longer. To this day these territories are populated with Albanian autochthon populist. Ethnic composition in this part began to differ from 1877-1880, where Serb-Montenegrins were displaced by violence and military terror about 160 thousand Albanians.

Thus 640 Albanian settlements were ethnically cleared from the Nis district of Prokuples, Leskovcit, Vranje, Kursumlia and other countries that were inhabited by Albanians elsewhere, percent in some countries 70% and in very few territories of this part of the Albanian population made up 50%. Serbia's continued defeat and terror the Presevo Valley population had survived until 2001, where violence, persecutions, and oppression of the Serb invaders had surpassed all the limits of debauchery and misuse of the Valley's Albanian population.

Albanians in the Presevo Valley to cope with the daily oppression and persecution of Serbian power, U organised The computer and they declared war on it. The UCPMB's war with Serbia ended with the signing of a statement, on 21 May 2001, in Koncul, but have not completed efforts to finalise the status of the Presevo Valley citizens, and guaranteeing their rights there to live free on their own lands. It is public knowledge that after Concul's agreement, problems have gone from the conflict level to the political level, and they will continue until the final settlement of the issue of Albanians in the Presevo Valley.

Serbia's government in no case has agreed with the implementation of the Conchuli Agreement, nor with the reality of Albanians in the Presevo Valley who have fought and will fight to gain its rights and the status of independent province. After the end of the liberation war with Serbia 1999-2001, in the Presevo Valley, the problem of Albanians living in that part was raised in the highest international instance. Many problems were addressed at the UN's KS. But even NATO's Atlantic Alliance has made it invest in solving the problems of this part. Serbia in retaliation, after the end of the war between UCMPB, police and the Serbian Army, imprisoned hundreds of rescuers, even though they were officially amnitated, expelled with violence and police and military pressure from their own lands, over 35,000 Albanians autokton, most of whom live in Kosovo and other Albanian countries like Macedonia, Montenegro, Albania, etc., awaiting the day of their return to their lands. Therefore, if someone thinks of compromising with Serbia and exchange of territories, Albanians have their share until Nis in Leskov's Vranje.

In the Valley, the political crisis that has deepened and is gaining dimensions of the size of a regional crisis must be resolved. Taking into account the alarming situation created in the Presevo Valley, I request from the political spectrum of all political parties engaged in the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, which include the political status of Albanians in the Presevo Valley, because without resolving the issue of Albanians in the Presevo Valley and resolving their status will not have lasting peace in the region.

Albanians living in the Presevo Valley are the most discriminated and persecuted citizens and overlooked in the spaces of the former Yugoslavia, but also throughout the Balkans. In some cases the names of the towns and villages of Sandzak, Nis, where they have been and are inhabited by Albanians, the project that began in 1878 and continues to this day.

Valley Albanians have no right to use the flag and native language in institutions. Most citizens have been forcibly displaced from their own lands and have limited or violated free movement. Blocking textbooks and denial of Albanian is a major violation of the rights”
