In a Facebook post, Krasniqi has written that Kosovo and Albanian Albanians share only 87 years of captivity of Kosovo Albanians, Macedonia, Montenegro and eastern Kosovo.
According to him, it's interesting how change stems from one, until the morning of February 17, 2008, we were Albanian, that day, after day, without even knowing it, we became Kosovo.
Below Krasniqi's post:
ATCO COSOVAR?
Albanians in Kosovo do not have any theory dealing with the nation's theory in a theoretical and scientific way. There are some individuals who, when we talk about the Kosovo nation, are initiated by the Twitter theory of the nation, taking the Macedonian nation as an example, which is actually Bulgarian nation.
The Conunist Party of Yugoslavia (PKJ), to remove the Macedonians from the Bulgarian trunk and make Macedonia part of the Yugoslav Federation, the Bulgarians of Macedonia named them on the basis of the country's name, the Macedonian nation! The Macedonian, ironically, in recent years have made great investments in the construction of the monuments of the glorious figures of old Macedonians, who were actually Illyrian, such as the Great Leka (Aleksander of Macedonia).
While, in fact, Macedonians are Bulgarians who in Macedonia and Bulgaria have come to the IX century C.E. One of the opinionists takes the Germans and Austrians, who are two nations in common language. In the case of Kosovo, neither this theory nor this comparison goes.
Why don't you go?
The Austrians and Germans are two language - speaking nations, undeniably fact, but the Germans and Austrians, when they were formed as nations, have been divided into different empires. In the 20th century, when modern - day Germany (federal), Austria was like Emperor Austro-Hungarese. This fact cannot be compared to the Albanian nation, which as a nation is formed quite differently. The whole Albanian political movement -- the Albanian National Renaissance -- had its political peak in the second half of the 20th century.
And not only that, but, the centre of the Albanian National Movement, at its height as was the Albanian League of Prizren, as the centre had Kosovo, and many leaders of that movement and state uprising were exactly from Kosovo, like Ymer Prizren, Sulejman Vokshi, Sef Kostunica, Mic Sokoli, Ramadan Zaskoci, Ali Pasha Gusia, Jakup Ferri, Haxhi Zeka etc. Then, not only that, but also all the Albanian uprisings of the early 20th century, especially those in 1910-1912 had Kosovo, and the leaders of the General Uprising were Hasan Pristina, Isa Boletini, Bajram Curri, Idriz Seferi etc.
So the Kosovo Albanians and those of Albania cannot share anything. They cannot divide either language, culture, or traditions inherited for centuries, or birth and death songs, nor customary right, or myth or legend, nor heroes and alphabets. The Kosovo and Albanian Albanians share only 87 years of captivity of Kosovo Albanians, Macedonia, Montenegro and eastern Kosovo.
All Albanians know, as do all of Europe and Europeans, that it was Europe's Great Powers since July 1913, at the Ambassador Conference in London, that they broke up the Albanian nation and its Albanian lands.
We also know that all political organisations by the Kosovo National Protection Committee, formed in 1918, have fought for the liberation and unification of Albanians whom the Conference mentioned had left out of the Albanian state of London. And Martti Ahtisaari at a public television interview RTK, he had stated that he was also intent on correcting a historical injustice committed to Albanians.
Why today we have two Albanian states, this was not the will of Albanians, it was the conjuscripts of the powerful ones that decided there should be no return before 1999 and there should be no union with Serbia or Albania. Therefore, the trends of any poet and mathematician to form the Albanian nation are primitive tendencies that have not been able to survive even nearly a year-long Serbian-Yugoslav rule.
Also, the tendency to connect the new “ ” “kosovar” to a football player is a fool on its own. The folly that leads to the misery of government advisers, which is led, let's put it frankly by the commanders who have fought for the liberation of the Albanian nation.
This phenomenon is hard to understand what metamorphosis is developing in some former Kosovo Liberation Army commanders! It is more than surprising how fierce enemies of the Albanian people have been forced to impose some <x0-intellectual <x1mederia!
I have no doubt, this misery comes from the miserable situation in Albanian education for thirty years now! And it's really interesting, the Albanian nation has never had more public universities and private colleges and there's never been more ignorant people than there are today.
This debate is more than disgusting. Why is it so to convince the infant arguments that brought in learned opinionists, such as the argument for the new nation, with the existence of a now-dead football player from Kosovo who has once played football in Yugoslav teams! Perhaps in democracy everyone has the right to declare how it feels? I am Albanian, Kosovar and deer!
It's interesting how the difference goes by anyone, until the morning of February 17, 2008, we were Albanians, that day, after day, without even knowing we became Kosovars? Interesting! The metamorphosis of some is for serious study!
