VV: Nobel for Handken an insult to victims of Serbian chauvinism

Through a Facebook response, Vetevendosje says that the Swedish Academy decided that the Nobel Prize for 2019 went to Austrian writer Peter Handke.

“Justification of the decision that the academy has taken was completely literary, but literature has an author who is awarded the prize. And this author, Peter Handke, has been the most famous supporter of ethnic cleansing Milosevic, during the time when international cultural elites, and later those of politics, distanced themselves and condemned his genocide policy. By 1996, Handke committed himself to supporting Serbia's criminal acts in Bosnia, trying to deny genocide in Srebrenica, where thousands of innocents lost their lives. And in 1999, when millions of Albanians had been expelled from their homes and their country, Handke came out to support Milosevic. In 2006, when the Serbian director died uncondemned, in The Hague prison, the Austrian writer attended the funeral ceremony, where he gave a speech of praise to Milosevic before tens of thousands of worshippers of that criminal”, it is said in response.

Regarding the memory of victims of Serbian violence in Kosovo, the VV's response, for the more than 12,000 people killed during the war, for more than 20,000 women, men and children sexually violated, for people who suffered and still suffer the trauma suffered, for the family of over 1600 still undiscovered persons, this award given by the Swedish Academy for Peter Handken is a serious insult.

“Plagus still intact, tooth-burning and burning. It's not good literature, it's not good literature, the one joining the violence of war, the one who humiliates and insults the victims. Movement V The official protest is against the award for this author”, said in response.
