Petkovic: While Kurti from Prizren dreams of Greater Albania, Serbs remember the anniversary of the adoption of Resolution 1244

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, regarding the statement of the Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti that he will "preserve the philosophy of the League of Prizren", pointed out that there was no Serb whom Kurti would not remind that Prizren, long before a group of Ottoman loyalists gathered there on this day 145 years to establish the League of Prizren, was the capital of the Serbian emperors.

Petkovic stated that when Kurti announced that he would follow the "philosophy of the League of Prizren", it meant that he would follow an ideology that, among other things, had ultimately led to the fact that today almost no Serbian was spoken in the Serbian imperial city.

"By referring to the `philosophy of the League of Prizren,' Kurti also refers to its anti-Serb and anti-Slavic character and tries to provide a historical alibi for his today's aggressive chauvinist politics. Although his mouth is full of democracy and civil society, it is impossible for him to recognize any non-Albanian character of Kosovo and Metohija, because democracy suits him as long as it is reserved only for Albanians and civil society only when only Albanians live in that society," Petkovic emphasized

He added that, while Kurti "in a national-romantic ecstasy from Prizren dreams up Greater Albanian dreams", the Serbs today remembered the anniversary of a more recent and, he said, much more relevant document for contemporary politics, which was Resolution 1244 of the UN Security Council.

"Resolution 1244, which was also adopted on this day, is a binding international legal document concerning Kosovo and Metohija, and, if he is already a lover of anniversaries and history, Kurti should not go back to the ancient past, but the inspiration and basis for political action should be sought in that document of the UN Security Council," Petkovic concluded.
