What is also observed in the media in Kosovo

By Skënder Sadri KAPITI

Kosovo has a glorious history as a unique case in the world for resistance and perseverance for national survival, where it alone has faced the Romans, barbarians, Byzantines, Ottomans and Slavs. Kosovo is Dadania, and the media and intellectuals of Kosovo should today call Dardania, Kosovo, as Professor Eshref Ymeri appeals in his patriotic journalism. I am from Durrës and I have been interested and have followed the media, newspapers and portals in Kosovo. But now I am disappointed with them too, because they are also caught up in politics and corruption, and are extremely interest media and in the service of money and power. They are media that treat history for personal interests and in the service of party politics.

They are media that are fans of this or that party, of this or that government. Most of them are media of corrupt criticism. What is noticeable in the media and televisions and in opinion leaders and analysts even in Kosovo is their servile mercenarism.

Another thing that distinguishes most of the media in Kosovo from those in Albania is the fact that they in Kosovo also incite religious divisions, by promoting and magnifying the appearance of writings and leaflets of some Islamophobic individuals who, since they are failures in politics, are creating religious divisions and incitement, when they do not even know what Religion is.

Powerful media and portals should not publish mediocre articles or comments, but should filter them and not fall prey to the subjective desires of the negative interests and tastes of particular individuals. These media speculate in the name of freedom of the press, but it is these same media that incite and support political fanaticism, Islamophobia and devilishly speculate with history and historical figures of distant times. These media in Kosovo hyperbolize and mythologize political and party figures and individuals.

Albanians have the same history and the same heroes, and every era has its heroes and history of its time. Heroes are those whose activities made Albania and Kosovo states, such as the Albanian League of Prizren, Sulejman Vokshi, Abdyl Frashëri, the Vlorë Assembly, Ismail Qemali, Hasan Prishtina, Isa Boletini, the KLA, Adem Jashari, etc.

The real heroes are those who led not only the military battles, but also the ideologists, visionaries and literary figures of the national revival; they are those who have sacrificed and contributed really and spiritually to the Albanian nation.

They are heroes from whom Albania and Kosovo gained national freedom and independence. And this national history is and begins with the Albanian League of Prizren, as the history of the National Movement to protect the Albanian lands from the fragmentation by its enemy states, its neighbors that led to the Independence of the Albanian State from Turkey, Serbia, Montenegro and Greece, they are the resistance of the people of Kosovo for the liberation of Kosovo and the Union with Albania. The fanatical Haxhi Qamili movement in Albania is not a national movement, nor is any so-called Movement against Islam in Kosovo. They are very harmful and divisive.

Today the world does not deal with the past or with the characters of the past, because they have completed the problem of their nation-state. Today, Kosovo's politics and government must work for the national interest, that of respect and gratitude for every nation and state that is a true friend of Albanians, today Albanians must love each other, and not continue, divide and confuse among themselves. No one should be "concerned" because the majority of Albanians in Kosovo are Muslims, nor some Albanian-speaking non-Muslims, nor the national minorities of Kosovo. National minorities have rights and freedoms like no national minority living in the most democratic countries in the world. Some medical-political failures of Kosovo come and find refuge in television shows in Albania after they have become a nuisance to the public in Kosovo.
