The noted historian: Albania is Kosovo's motherland, just have shared culture

According to him, the two countries simply have a common culture, as do many other countries in Europe.

“Albania is not Kosovo's motherland. Kosovo is the second Albanian state. And Kosovo Albanians know for themselves who Vuciqi is and Tirana, the prime minister there, cannot negotiate on their behalf with Belgrade”.

Kosovo and Albania are two states with a common culture. This is no exception to Europe. Democratic culture in Kosovo is more developed than in Albania and less authoritarian than in Tirana”.

There is a culture of self-organization among Kosovars. Milosevic's policy targeted a Kosovo without Albanians. Half the population was expelled from paramilitarys and Serbian police”.

The Serbian side's “Willen to destroy Kosovo Albanian society was clear. Albin Kurti is right when he said Serbia needs an ally Brandt who makes a apology gesture”.

Serbia was the country that started wars in Croatia, Bosnia and Kosovo. Serbia wanted Greater Serbia. Kosovars have not launched this fight”, he said.

Regarding his book on the origin of Skenderbe, which has opened many debates, Schmittt said:

I have not tried to demit Skenderbe, but to describe him as he was, so Lord of Arberium and magnificent figure. Some people who had never read the book spoke against my book.

They were afraid there's now a loan paid by someone, a state... I don't do things like that, I never would. Skenderbeu deserves his position in Albanian history.

What I've been aiming for is his assessment based on contemporary sources. So he's a great figure.

But I reject the description of Skenderbe from the Spring School. Albania needs a critical history school”.
