Ukrainian columnists: Kosovo recognition simply matters of time, you understand our pain

Within the framework of the “Gasers programme at Residence”, this government-funded programme in Kosovo since the start of the war there has come some journalists. For Online Economics their experiences have been confessed to Liudmyla Lukianchenko and Tetiana Kraselnykova.

Liudmyla Lukianchenko and Tetiana Kraselnykova expressed great gratitude for the reception they have received in Kosovo, even giving their opinion that it belongs to recent reports of recognition of Kosovo by the Ukrainian state. A

According to Liudmyla Lukianchenko, recognition of Kosovo by Ukraine is simply a matter of time. According to her, this is not happening now because Ukraine is too busy dealing with what it is now, which is war and negotiations with its allies.

I appreciate that it is simply a matter of time for Ukraine to recognise Kosovo, because Ukraine has found itself in such a position. I'm referring to the crime case that was taken from us in 2014. Plus, you can also recall what the situation was like on the eve of war when all European countries also quietly allowed Russia's aggression in Ukraine. The more that Georgia was in front of Ukraine was Ichkeria, Syria, where there was a trace of Russian aggression, and the world was silent. Hence, today Ukraine's first and foremost task is to fight for its independence, freedom and win this war, showing how illusion and fragile this Russian world, which spread very active, very active, thanks to their propaganda, and that this world is fragile, so we will pay a price very expensive to it at a very high price of”.

But I think after all, the fight for such freedom is fair and there will be victory. As for recognition, it is a matter of time when everything will fall into place and when relatively cultural ties will work. And cultural ties with Kosovo must be developed. Because, for example, the first time I heard it was a Kosovo programme, I thought I knew very little about Kosovo”, Lukianchenko said.

She noted that the recognition of Kosovo from Ukraine is simply a matter of time and also based on publishing a professor of political science and Ukrainian international relations.

While saying that if cultural interaction works, the political part is just formal procedure that doesn't have to be implemented.

And since you mentioned it, we're working on this. Professor Kraljuk in his publication on Kosovo, concludes by saying that recognising Kosovo's independence is simply a matter of time, and it is absolutely true. However, we are now in wartime and are dealing with all other issues, mainly by convincing our partners that we are not the party causing the conflict. Who are we? We've just chosen our freedom to choose, our right to live”.

That's what's hurting us the most. But if our societies take steps forward in the future, to open up to each other then we've only achieved cultural diplomacy. And when cultural diplomacy works, politicians have no choice but to sign”, the Ukrainian journalist ended up saying.

Lukianchenko said there has been little information about Kosovo, even claiming it has had to be equipped with a Russian-Albanian to facilitate access to Kosovo as well as communication here.

Here she called for priorities to be exchanges of cultural steps, because according to her, that's what matters right now.

I have made broadcasts with various European representatives, such as Belgium, Slovaks, Turks and Georgians, with all of them. And I hadn't done it with those from Kosovo. I don't even know if our national university has a school where it deals with learning Albanian. There is no culturally developed material for you, for example, an Albanian dictionary. I got an English dictionary before I left. This is the last copy. It was the last copy of Kiev's library. But unfortunately, it's not Ukrainian. This isn't Ukrainian business. This edition of the year two thousand and thirteen is published in collaboration with Moscow”.

I lived in Moscow, through the language spoken in Moscow. You see, someone under Violet Basha's editorial. Why is there no such book from Ukraine in Ukrainian? So Ukrainian-Albanian vocabulary. Therefore, please, the first priority is to take such cultural steps, to become vocabulary so that Kosovo can be better known in Ukraine, and not as I first read that Kosovo is a place of open conflict in Europe. I thought to myself, O God, I'm going back from the war in Ukraine to a former European war place of”, said journalist with multiyear experience on the radio.

Lukianchenko also told us that in Ukraine, a statue dating back to Neolite's time is so similar to the most iconic symbol of Kosovo's capital are admitted to the throne.

He drew the same comparison with our factory and those of Ukraine, thus finding more than one similarity between the cultures of the two lands that are very geographically distant, reports EO.

These conflicts, wars must be staged in our countries, so that we can become the basis of peace. This has to happen first. And then develop all cultural ties. I'm opening the second page in this book, and see what I'm going to show you here right now. I want to make a comparison. Here's your symbol, of the accession to the throne, and this one is a goddess, not in the coffin, but the entire Tripoli entry. And now look at how many of our artifacts of that age, that's Neolite's are very similar to yours. You have a dancing goddess on the throne”.

Well, in our country is Trypillia, Trypilska, goddess Trypilly. That's why you need to combine it a lot here. We're not that far. Well, the same thing if we remember your book. In the same way, these other books are artifacts of Tripoli culture in Moldova. So it goes like some kind of cultural cocktail. Well, in our country it bears the name of a village in the Kiev region of Trypilylia, so it's called Trypilska in our country. But this is the neolite you can see in your Historical Museum”, showing Lukoanchenko.

While Tetiana Kraselnykova also stressed a similarity between the two states; the similarity of the colors of our state flags, but also because of the war the people of Kosovo had spent just over two decades ago.

Kraselnykova, who in Kosovo has not come alone, bringing her little boy with her, said she wishes that the conquest will come to an end so she can join her relatives as soon as possible.

I completely agree with what my colleague said. Only time will tell. We can never know what happens tomorrow or even minutes later. I wanted to compare the colors of the Kosovo flag and Ukraine, both have blue and yellow in them. It is a great support to see signs on the street supporting Ukraine standing by its side. The only thing I knew was that there was a war in Kosovo, and when I told my family that I was letting Ukraine come here, it sounded like leaving one war and going to another, that since there was war here, it could be dangerous to stay here”.

Now that I see I understand that the very fact that you've had war here makes you understand us better. So you understand us because you went through the same thing. You know what it feels like to wait for everything to end someday. We sincerely believe that our situation in war will end as soon as possible so that the Russian invasion will end as soon, and that we will live again in peace and harmony. So that the lack of goods we feel for our loved ones will end as soon as we did”, Kraselnykova told Online Economy.
