A debate of inferiors dreaming of Kosovo's “independence victory”, from Albania

By Merro Base

The debate over Bregovic has finally entered normal flow, at least in Albania. Two of Rama's colleagues, fierce critics and supporters of Albin Kurti, who are also both early Bregovic fans, have acknowledged that he should be invited by Edi Rama, not that he is not worth a singer, or that he has not condemned Serb crimes in Kosovo.

The labels then that the <x0] countries protecting Rama's crimes are the country's evil, and those protecting Meta and Berisha are the longest debate, which is not worth mixing with the Bregovic debate.

But in this debate three clear things to speculate about should be shared.

The first is not a cultural debate separating Albania from Kosovo, but a political debate initiated by Kosovo and Albin Kurti against Albania.

Fortunately in Albania it is clear, as critics of his arrival are fans of Bregovic, but since they are Albin's fans, they are now against his arrival.

Any other attempts to present it as a cultural debate between Albania and Kosovo, and even worse to prove that Kosovo tastes elite music, and Albania has been medieval since it was in Communism, it is diabolic, not that it tries to offend Albania, but that it offends Bregovic's opponents in Kosovo. Their biggest argument is that Bregovic is a product of Yugoslavia that has oppressed them. Now or that Yugoslavia has crushed them and they have the right to complain, and I agree with this version, or it has civilized them and they have the right to boast, as they are showy.

They choose whom they want, but they cannot appear simultaneously and victims of Yugoslavia and elites as a cultural product of Yugoslavia. If Yugoslavia has educated them with a sense of music elite, it's great luck, but they don't have to swear at Bregovic who's the best of that race. If Yugoslavia has oppressed them and let them raise their heads, they have the right to have hatred of him and Bregovic as its symbol artist. But, one, or the other, are free to choose, that when they choose both, it seems to us as fools who hear them in silence, as they cannot be the nostalgic of Yugoslavia's cultural freedoms and haters of its products as Bregovic.

The second promoter of this debate is Albin Kurti, and the choir has expanded with “osovocent”, and an amalgam of media sponsored by fellow businessmen “Birra Peja”, which buys the first subject in Serbia as Serbia's play business, and wants the market of sales in Albania as Albanian patriot.

The group, which can be called “kosovocentrist”, is one of those who struggle to have their identity separated from Albania, and along with Kurti's falangs, have seized the entire arsenal of racism and inferior complexes and started at war against Albania.

But with “kosovocentists” we shouldn't get bored. They don't want Albania very sincerely. They have it in their formation and in their action. They do not have Rugova's philosophy that distance from Albania had an instrument to become credible in the battle for the Kosovo issue. These represent the mentality of Kosovo's new political elite, who think it is better to be “the heads of the village than the last of the city's”. This requires Kosovo away from Albania.

Their alliance with Albin Kurti in this debate is more evidence than the damage the political misuse of such a cause involving local activity at a beer fair.

Third, they should be more cautious when they tell a type lie that from Albania they are hearing calls for Serb crimes to be forgotten. No single call has come from Albania to forget Serbian crimes. I fear more books on Serbian crimes have written Albanians of Albania than those of Kosovo.

After 20 years and a few years, Kosovo has no Serbian crime museums, no significant historical or political work for Serbian crimes, no record of its history and road formation as a state, and no single archive documents for the ten-year activity of Ibrahim Rugova that laid down the roots of the state of Kosovo.

Bregovic did not prevent them from doing so. Perhaps he remembers better than those Serbian crimes, as he has succeeded the Croatian baben, the Muslim woman, and the Serbian mother. They have forgotten and dismissed the crimes of Serbs on them, and still politics with some of their surviving victims.

And Bregovic can't help them in this cause, since he didn't sing about Serbian crimes, at least have it as historical evidence. The only songs for Serbian crimes are those of local rapsods that wrote against 100 brands of volunteer poets from Albania.

So this debate is not about Albania's cultural differences with Kosovo, nor is it about forgetting Kosovo's difficult history under Serbia. Less than who for them has written and made Kosovo and those who try to court Albania. Nor is it a debate to compare intellectual quality at the University of Enver Hoxha in Albania with the school imposed in the garden and basement that has finished Albin, “excellent”.

This is a political debate to produce a division between Albania and Kosovo, which has included in a single <x0->iac coalition of the former national union” and that genuine part of Kosovo society that hates Albania. In such cases, the identity of the movement is given to sincere ones. And the truth is that this is a wave of hatred and frustration from Kosovo on politically motivated Albania. It's not a big deal you're going through fast. But it is good to say the bitter truth, which comes from a politician like Albin Kurti, who has begun to gain independence from Serbia, and is managing to gain independence from Albania.
