Mustafa Nano goes against those who love the Serbian singer in Albania: I feel closer to Bregovic than with Albanian ones

Nano says there are Albanians who want to hear it, and that the Korca municipality cannot refuse Bregovici just because “so want some opinion policemen and some patriotism Guardians”.

“We cannot remain hostage to a packed life and weather antislavism. I say this in the first place for Kosovo Albanians, who are immediately harassed by everything Serb”, Nano wrote.

He even goes away, saying he feels closer to Serbian singer Goran Bregovic than with those who are opposing his presence at the Festival of Beer in Korca.

I don't know Bregovic well (as a singer I don't know him or I don't follow him), but I can say without fear that I feel closer to him than with those Albanians who leave and hold themselves hostage to such vulgar and folk nationalism”, Nano wrote.

Some people have not found a better way to protect Goran Bregovic's presence in Korca than to say that “Bregovic is not what he thinks”, that “has no proof that he was anti-Albanian”, etc. A weak, timid, cowardly defense. Well, suppose he said anything anti-Albanian a long time ago. The fact that he wants to come to Albania means that he is no longer an anti-Albanian, that he has repented of what he said. If he were an anti-Albanian, he wouldn't even think of walking to Albania. Then, he can come whenever he wants, as long as there are people in Albania who want to hear him. And in Albania, it is now known, there are many people who want to hear it. How do we tell the latter ones? Let's say that “t forget about Bregovich”, because that's how they want some cops thinking and some guards of patriotism? We cannot remain hostages of a packaged antislavism of life and weather. I say this primarily for Kosovo Albanians, who are immediately harassed by everything Serb. And I'm not just talking about the size of Kosovars. I mean especially part of the Kosovo elite. Two people, members of this elite, have refused to come to my TV show “Provocacija” for a reason, which left me speechless. According to them, I had chosen a Serbian word to call the program, and they were not too cheeky to go to a program that was entitled a Serbian word!! And to think they're not 20-centard rappers. They are important personalities of Kosovo culture. There are also institutional figures. With such people, I am divided by a vast, large han. To be honest, Bregovic is not familiar (as a singer I don't know or follow), but I can say without fear that I feel closer to him than to those Albanians who leave and hold themselves hostage to such vulgar and folk nationalism.
