The Swedish Academy of Sciences this year rewarded the Nobel Prize for Literature, Austrian author Peter Handke, a supporter of genocide and wars in the former Yugoslavia under Slobodan Milosevic's regime.
Nobel's Handke division was called scandalous decision by representatives of Kosovo institutions, but also by world literature connoisseurs.
Today, at 11: 00 p.m. today, a protest is expected in Pristina before the Embassy of Sweden, seeking Nobel's annulment for Literature 2019.
The Swedish Academy's decision has also been requested by the Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo, such as <x0 just understanding and solidarity with all the peoples of the world struggling for freedom and democratic values”.
AAK has expressed deep disappointment with this year's Nobel Prize for Literature to Austrian writer Peter Handke.
To divide Nobel for Literature 2019, Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has also reacted, under which the Nobel decision has brought enormous pain to countless victims.
Even the Kosovo Ministry of Foreign Affairs has reacted by saying the Nobel Committee has awarded the award to the wrong man.
After many reactions came, the Swedish Academy spoke. Its permanent secretary, Mats Malm, told the New York Times that the committee makes selections on literary and aesthetic bases and that “is not the mandate of the academy to balance literary quality against political considerations”.
