Segregation – Growing Up in Kosovo /

it is my pleasure to share with you here my contribution to the new issue of the journal Comparative Southeast European Studies "Kosovo in the Yugoslav 1980s" (De Gruyter, Berlin/Boston). Read it if you can. https://t.co/8a9yCyDIEH

130 thousand people lost their lives during the wars in the former Yugoslavia because of Serbian ambitions. Thousands took part yesterday in the funeral of the criminal Ratko Mladić, who died while serving a life sentence for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the war in Bosnia.
The burial of the Butcher of the Balkans, with the participation of ministers and the Serbian army, as well as the high turnout, shows that Serbia today does not even repent for the victims it has caused, and that it would not hesitate to continue killing if given the chance.
Serbia shows that it has a medieval mentality even though it is in the middle of Europe.

Kosovo’s Special Prosecution Office has indicted 35 people in absentia over alleged war crimes against civilians during the Serbian forces’ assault on the Jashari neighborhood in Prekaz in March 1998.
Chief Special Prosecutor Blerim Isufaj noted that this is the first indictment specifically addressing the killing of civilians in the Jashari neighborhood.
According to Prosecutor’s Office the suspects held senior command positions in Serbian special police units involved in the operation and that investigators had identified the units involved, their positions and the actions attributed to each defendant.
The prosecution said 26 civilians were killed, including children as young as five, women and elderly people. It also alleged that residents were taken hostage and subjected to mistreatment.
Prekaz, a village in Drenica region, became a symbol of the Kosovo war after Serbian security forces attacked the Jashari family compound in March 1998. Adem Jashari, a founder and senior commander of the Kosovo Liberation Army, was killed during the three-day assault, along with dozens of members of his family. The attack is widely regarded as a turning point in the conflict and contributed to a sharp escalation of international attention to Kosovo.

Yes, I fully support the removal of the large “Free Ukraine” flag from the center of Pristina.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy has been admired and unequivocally supported by the people of Kosovo, who know all too well what oppression and occupation mean. Kosovo imposed sanctions on Russia because of Ukraine, while Serbia, which is inspired by Russia, did not.
Zelenskyy’s statement in Belgrade that Ukraine does not support the independent state of Kosovo is equivalent to saying that Kosovo does not support the independent state of Ukraine. Regardless of the oppression, regardless of the victims.
Short-sightedness and ingratitude from Zelenskyy. His actions should have consequences. #freeukraine #Kosovo #zelenskyy

The three nights when Prishtina became the center of the world's entertainment.
From global superstars to unforgettable moments, @dualipa's Sunny Hill Festival once again proved that Kosovo can host an event of world-class scale.
Music, energy, and tens of thousands of people from Australia to Brazil came together to celebrate under the Prishtina sky.
Until next year, Sunny Hill. Edd

#TheOdyssey is rewriting the records. #IMAX Prishtina has delivered record ticket sales for the region, proving once again that audiences will turn out when cinema becomes an event. Christopher Nolan’s vision was made for the biggest screen.

Over the last six years, the UK has had five Prime Ministers but only one general election.
In contrast, Kosovo has held four national elections during the same period while having only one Prime Minister.
Congratulations to Andy Burnham on becoming the UK’s new Prime Minister.
How long do you think he’ll last? #AndyBurnham #DowningStreet10

What a shame! It’s like Führer saying, “We shouldn’t have killed them in gas chambers, but with lethal injections instead.” This has crossed into outright Nazism.
Serbian Minister Snežana Paunović has now “corrected” her statement about the ethnic cleansing of Albanians. She said: “I should have said ‘deportation,’ not ‘ethnic cleansing,’ simply to avoid being crucified over it.”
If she is not dismissed from the Government, then the European Union should also impose sanctions on President Vučić and puppet Prime Minister Macut, who would be assuming political responsibility for keeping her in office.

Disa fakte dhe disa sugjerime për konstituimin e institucioneve

Nëse për konstituuim Kuvendi duhet bashkëveprim me Listën Serbe, për votim qeverie duhet t’i jepen poste ministrore një serbi, një turku, një boshnjaku dhe një egjiptiani, si presim që të votohet Presidenti pa i dhënë asnjë post asnjë partie shqiptare?! Ose, si mund një subjekt politik me 53 mandate t’ia japë një ministri për vetëm një votë një partie serbe, t’ia japë një ministri për vetëm një votë një partie turke, t’ia japë një ministri për vetëm një votë një partie boshnjake, t’ia japë një zv.kryeministër për vetëm dy vota një partie turke, por të mos ketë gatishmëri t’ia jap�� asnjë post partive shqiptare, të cilat bashkë i kanë 47 deputetë?!

At the same time, the opposition movement @studentblokade in Serbia appear to be living in a parallel reality. Kosovo has been an independent country since February 2008. There is a border crossing between Kosovo and Serbia. Yet they still call Kosovo the “Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija.” Wake up. It’s 2026.

НЕ ЖЕЛИМО ДРУГИМА ОНО ШТО НЕ ЖЕЛИМО СЕБИ

Изјава министарке Снежане Пауновић да би, да је била на месту Слободана Милошев��ћа, „етнички очистила Косово 1998. године“, недопустива и потпуно супротна Уставу, људским правима и достојанству сваког човека

Министар у Влади Републике Србије представља државу и све њене грађане, укључујући и Албанце који живе на територији Аутономне Покрајине Косово и Метохија.

Као народ који је и сам искусио прогоне, етничка чишћења и страдања, Срби имају посебну моралну обавезу да без резерве одбаце сваки позив на такву политику.

Србији су потребни државни функционери који својим речима штите достојанство сваког човека и чувају углед државе, а не они који призивају најмрачније странице пр��шлости.

[Adriatik Kelmendi @adriatikk]

Just for the record: in today’s Serbia, a government minister regrets that two million Albanians in Kosovo were not ethnically cleansed (read: killed, deported, exterminated) in 1998. She is still a minister. In a Government in Europe. #SnezanaPaunovic #shame

[Adriatik Kelmendi @adriatikk]

The Serbian Minister, Snežana Paunović, should face criminal prosecution. Serbian Prime Minister Đuro Macut must dismiss her immediately or assume responsibility himself.
Her statement that Kosovo should have been ethnically cleansed of Albanians constitutes criminal conduct. Acts amounting to ethnic cleansing are typically prosecuted as crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. Ethnic cleansing does not occur without one or a combination of these crimes.

This is the final verdict: Ruling LVV has lost 4 parliamentary seats, with LDK gaining 3 and AAK gaining 1. The 20 seats reserved for non-majority communities remain unchanged.
The electorate has not given any political party a mandate to form the institutions unilaterally. #KosovoElections
