Mehmet Kraja reacts to Frasher Demaj

Demaj said last night that this is all a special war, since it's an academy election and this is a special struggle with political motives.

However, it has also been the immediate reaction of Mehmet Kraja, who said he has never waged special war against anyone.

“Madje designing reactions as well as <x1) Special War” or “political war against it. Being a member of the Academy for a relatively long time and in this case being its president, I have to say that in almost twenty years, I don't remember a war being waged “special” neither <x7-political> against someone, to be admitted or advanced into this” academy, Kraja said.

Kraja's full response:

Because last night in a Dukagjin TV show I've been checked several times, including the Academy, whose chairman I am currently, I feel compelled to react as follows:

1. Regarding the “teaching the contemporary history of Southeast Europe” project, which was made by the Centre for Democracy and Recilation in Southeast Europe (CDRSEE) a year ago, when elections were not near at the academy, I have declared to the newspaper “The daily Koha”, quote:

A completely insane intervention in Kosovo's newest history, from which Serb massacres are removed and Kosovo's cannons become Serbian! The responsibility for this slide cannot be stopped by individuals with vague, corrupt minds, but institutional answers must be received: The Ministry of Education and the Institute of History dare not do that, they cannot rule this way over our history, because they are Kosovo institutions, which must be held accountable. Now it seems like an ugly machiavelism, if you say that it has not been taken into account the remarks, but you do not distance yourself from the project, even participate in the panel when it is promoted to publication. I worry that these people, once faced with public criticism or responsibility, through a devilish but banal rhetoric in the substance, wash their hands from responsibility like Pontius Pilate and come out to be bitter patriots! ”

What I've said a year ago, I can also add to the incapacitating inability and ignorance to argue even those issues that are universally known beyond any doubt, such as Recak's massacre.

2. Regarding my statement in “As can be seen from the faxation, interventions are made with a clear context: “Serbian host” is replaced by “power “ ” or removed completely, in many places “server11> is replaced by “8x13>, the word “sec <x1615> is removed, and Serbian “

Indeed, all of this “miracle” of the commission is reduced to one point: that is, “the removal of Kosovo from Serbia” to replace with Serbia's “in Kosovo”, which means that Kosovo was not occupied by Serbia, that Kosovo did not fight for liberation, but fought against Milosevic power and such nonsense! Today, after 17 years, I have to tell you aloud, to understand once and for all: these interventions in history texts deform in the substance the history of Kosovo, with all its components, that the 1998-1999 war in Kosovo has been a liberation war and not “fighting for rights passed by power”, that this war cannot be the object of perspective between different political wings in Kosovo! (This text is being faxed to the document, hoping that the portals will be brought in complete.) 2

3. I am deeply surprised (but not shocked, because it is a lie!) that reactions to his failures in the alternative text of Balkan history, Frasher Demaj connects with the Academy, with elections and advances that will soon take place in this institution, even designing reactions as a special “ ” or “political war against it. Being a member of the Academy for a relatively long time and in this case being its president, I have to say that in almost twenty years, I don't remember a war that has developed “special” nor <x6-political” against someone, to be accepted or advanced into this academy.

So it is a pure invention and fiction to cover up a failure. And if I could be involved in a <x0 war> like this, I'm free to say publicly that if it were for my vote, Frasher Demaj wouldn't become a member of the Academy! Mehmet Kraja (Next faxation of the document for interventions in history textbooks).
