Albania also boycotts the Nobel Handken ceremony: “supported the Balkan butcher”

This letter from the Embassy said the decision was taken “as a sign of protest against Peter Handkes' support and support for Slobodan Milosevic, this Balkan butcher, who ordered numerous massacres during the breakup of Yugoslavia”.

Albania's “Ambassador will boycott participation in the awards ceremony. He has made this decision above all to express solidarity with the suffering of the time of the Albanian brothers in Kosovo, who suffered heavily from Milosevic's Serb genocide”, the online newspaper Koha conveys.

A few days earlier, it was Kosovo, for just the same reason. He had even called on Albania to do so.

The Swedish Academy that gives the Nobel Prize has received sharp criticism from Austrian conservative writers, publicists and politicians over the decision to award the prestigious award to the conservative writer. /Periscope
