(7 years ago)Serbian President Aleksandar Vuciq has congratulated the Austrian writer on receiving Nobel in Literature. The award has prompted many reactions since Handke has been friend and supporter of Slobodan Milosevic, known as the Balkan butcher. Vuciq, who has been Milosevic's minister, has also called the writer a friend. Dear friend, [...]
Dear friend, accept my sincere wishes. As Nobel Prize laureates, you're immortal. This award is a prize for your outstanding literary work, for your knowledge and creativity, but also for your incomparable moral qualities, for courage and dignity, for fighting your high intellectual ideals”, Vucic said in a greeting to Handke.
Serbia considers you a true friend and, I'll be free to say we feel your Nobel Prize as won by one of us. Now, with Ivo Andric, we are celebrating another Nobel Prize winner. I hope, dear friend, for your visit to Serbia soon. ”
Handke's award award has caused a huge public outrage. This, because he has openly given his support to Slobodan Milosevic's regime during the wars in the former Yugoslavia.
