Serbian Student Tracking Albanian Roots

It is not acceptable in Serbia that Albanians were here when the Slavs came. That is not accepted as a fact. The language itself tells us how long they have been present here. It is influenced by Latin, for example, indicating that they were here during the Roman period”, he says.

Tomislav, underlines that despite young people's tendency to forget, they must remember and accept what happened.

The history of Albanians is of great importance to our region. Those who are at odds with Albanians should know that these have always been Albanian lands. This is where they lived. You cannot drive, you are not right, nor is it human to misbehave with your neighbours”, says the youth from Serbia.

The 29-year-old wears access to Albanian symbols in Serbia as well.

He feels bad that most of his friends from Kosovo have at least one family member killed by wartime.

Whatever person I know in Kosovo, almost every friend or friend or even my girlfriend who is from Mitrovica, everyone has experienced the war. Nearly every family I know there has a family that was killed or not found. Serbs have not experienced war the way Kosovo Albanians have experienced it. Given that about 1 million were deported during the war, 10,000 were killed, 20,000 women were raped. That's very important to me”, he says.

In the event of finding the right opportunities, Tomislav projects his future in Albania.
