Change of Panballkan Book That Dispresents Kosovo's Near History

The book “Teaching the contemporary history of Southeast Europe” published under the “Common History Project” of the organisation “Centre for Democracy and reconciliation in Southeast Europe” (CDRSEE) is being criticised by representatives of civil society, as well as by the Kosovo Academy of Sciences and Arts (ASHAK). According to them, events [...] were not presented in the book.
According to them, the book does not present the main historical events that have occurred in Kosovo, and those involved in the book have been distorted. This is why the book is urgently being changed, writes “Koha Ditore” today.
Under the “Project on Contemporary History”, financed by the European Union, 6 volumes of the book “The teaching of the contemporary history of Southeast Europe” are published. The volume has been translated into all Balkan languages and promoted to many of the region's capitals, including Kosovo. The book will be used as alternative text by history educators in the Balkan countries. Historians from all over the Balkans have been engaged in this project, until Kosovo was academic Frasher Demaj.
The publicist and director of the organisation “Admovere”, Shkelzen Gashi, says that in the book “the teaching of the contemporary history of Southeast Europe”, many extremely important events in Kosovo's new history (1990-2008) do not work at all.
