Will the national Kosovo disappear?

Because football is the most popular sport in the world, it is only natural to take on extraordinary political strengths. This football political force was almost violent in Kosovo, even when the National of Kosovo silenced or distorted ethnic speeches for the Union with Albania. Albin Kurti went to stadium “Fadil Vokrri” in the match against Montenegro. Local ultra-nationalist fans like Plicas, Tor acids, etc. They were forced to hide their head temporarily. Love for the National became so great and so popular that the people suddenly became confused.

At the end of March 2019, I went to “Fadil Vokri” to watch the Kosovo match with Bulgaria. It was so cynical, heartless and mediocre that it shocked me. So I gave the forecast that support for the National of Kosovo would soon be lost once negative results began. In the last seven matches, Kosovo has lost six times and has equalled once and support appears to have fallen to the ground: Kosovo's best players are being reviled and lynching savagely by Kosovo fans. My predictions about which I was misjudged at the time seem to have come true. Yet, it did not come true.

The extraordinary support for the Kosovo National did not result from the positive results of its fun game. The extraordinary support for Kosovo was and is strictly political: alternative expression of denied national identity, denied by ban circumstances (Yugoslavia/Serbia) of fraud (Albania).

Kosovars had never thought of themselves as Kosovars before the 1990s. They had, perhaps sincerely, believed that they were Albanians because they spoke a language similar to Albanian and that they probably had a common history. Without hesitation, they even accepted the linguistic primacy of the standard and learned as much as they could their native language (Kosovarce) to get the toast. However, it was the Zattat (entoner) of the '90s with those who were exactly Albanians who clung to decadoring Kosovo identity: we were different, with another culture, another economy, other economies, for 100 years, and time did not come back.

Kosovars no longer thought of themselves as Albanians, but as Kosovars. They saw their footballers playing for Switzerland, then Albania, Croatia, Montenegro, Finland and so on, and they felt a desire to be represented as Kosovars. Kosovo as a national is not the derivatives of foreign circumstances, it is not an ID, it is not simply representative. It carried an authentic desire for an authentic and independent representation.

The football national became one of the major mutations of an identitative evolution among Kosovars.

Therefore, the frustration of Kosovo fans with the latest results despite even expressing a bad culture in the public sphere, filled with hate speech and non-compliance, is temporary and reversed. It wasn't immediate love, it's actually such despair. Therefore, Kosovo's national will not lose the great support of its fans, who, once given the chance, will be taken to the stadium, satisfied that they can finally express their identity.

Kosovo does not depend on the root of several individuals. Her future is absolutely certain.
