KOSOVARS MUST CREATE NEW IDENTITY FOR A NEW STATE AND THIS MEAN: NEW NATION.

I love Peace

I guess it’s time for Kosovars to make new identity, new nation for all of them who live n Kosova, like a lot of people done before us. If we want to be state we don’t need to call our self Albanian, Serbian, Turk, or gypsy especially when we are outside of Kosova. We all need to have one name KOSOVAR.
This maybe is not acceptable for Albanians that from separation from Albania since 1913 have tried to ignore the fact that they were separated and tried to save their identity but the “long time of separation” result to create new nations in whole the world like on this case new nation from the origin of Albania, so Kosovars nation. This is not unusual for them who understand the difference between “ethnicity” which is physical fact and “nation” which is political result. As far as ethnicity is communion of peoples with same language, same culture, within common territory but not necessarily organized on society, nation is more than this is able society to create state but not necessarily based on ethnicity. For, example: American nation or Canadian nation or Australian, nations which are created based on the multiethnic people. And lot of cases when one nation is created based on the ethnical origin. Also there are lots of cases when from one ethnical people are created two or more nations like for example: from Rumanian ethnicity result nation of Rumanian and nation of Moldavian, from Serbian ethnicity result Serbian nation and Montenegro nation, or from Bulgarian ethnicity result Bulgarian nation and Macedonian nation or from Greek ethnicity result Greek nation and Cypriote nation etc…etc. As well as there are some cases when from one ethnical people are created lots of nations like for example from German ethnicity result German nation + Austrian nation + Swiss+ Luxembourgian nation or from Arabic ethnicity result lots of nations such as: Egyptian, Tunisian, Libyan, Algerian, Moroccan, Iraqi, Yemenite, Syrian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Palestinian etc…

Albanians like Malay and Bulgarians

By referring the Albanians nations we can find a lot of similarly cases in whole world. For example: the Malay nation is not created because they “have a fancy for”. One piece of the Malay’s land was occupied by England and another part from Holland. The Malay people in Indonesia and Malaysia speak same language and have same culture, same religion, and they live in one compact territory, but the only thing that change is political infrastructure. Thus Malaysia 20 million like ex colony of England is one of the must development state to the Asia while the ex colony of the Holland, Indonesia if even 200 million, is one of the must undeveloped state in Asia. So, Malays and Indonesians even if they have good neighborhood relations, they consider like different nations. But the must similar case is Bulgaria. In 1878 when the Bulgaria won autonomy from Ottoman Empire, the bulk of Bulgarian peoples stayed outside the Bulgarian border. The political leaders on that time started to take care on the problems inside the Bulgarian borders by leaving beside the problems of the Bulgarians outside borders. A result of this politic which was lead by Prime Minister Stefan Stambullov [1854 – 1895], Bulgaria extends in west with Thrakia, but not with Macedonia. Bulgarians that left outside borders become more aggressive and nationalist. So, two of most popular and intelligent leader that whenever Bulgaria had in their history been killed: Stefan Stambullov and Aleksandar Stambolinski by (Macedonians) Bulgarian nationalist because “they didn’t try to join again left part of Bulgarians outside borders (Macedonia) with the Bulgaria”. Even when they killed Aleksandar Stambolinski (on 1923) they cut of his hand which he uses to sign for cooperation with Serbia which insisted on “forgetting that Macedonia is piece of Bulgaria”. However the historical destiny of the Bulgarian people makes that Macedonians to be formed like single nation by going to far with denying all cooperation with Bulgaria, even ethnicity by changing language and religion.

Kosovar nation, still in development time

The Albanians from Kosova don’t need to disavow Albania and their history like Macedonians did, but need to understand that Kosova needs new political infrastructure higher and more quality then Albania does.
Kosovars doesn’t need new language or new alphabet like Macedonians did, but this doesn’t mean that Kosovars doesn’t need to work on perfecting their language. If Albanians are using a lot of Italian and Greek worlds on their language that doesn’t mean that Kosovars need to do same or in contrary if Kosovars are using a lot of words in English language that doesn’t mean Albanians need to do same. So there is not any bad thing if we say “Kosovars variant of Albanian language”. This is not something new; we all know that there are three variants of English: British, American and Australian English, so we can have few variants of the Albanian language and this is not a bad thing.

Symbols and the terminology

Kosova as soon as possible need to create own symbols such: anthem, flag, and the national day. It will be good if Kosovars will decide for own symbols before international community will decide about. This should be done by referendum. But, it will be good if the Kosova’s flag won’t have lot of differences from Albanians flag. We know the feeling of Albanians as a majority in Kosova about this flag, so it will be good solution if the eagle and the red field will stay in Kosova’s flag. Dimensions can be different from the Albanian flag for example if the Albanian flag is rectangle, Kosova’s flag can be quadratic and above the eagle to write: Kosova. Or one option is and Rugova’s proposal, blue flag with Dardania’s symbol on it. That will give sens of antiquity of Kosovars in Kosova.
The anthem can be “Kur ra kushtrimi n’Kosovë” or another melody which will be made by professionals of music.
The national day can be 10 Jun for example; this is a day of the “Prizeren Allianc” and a day of capitulation of Serbians forces on Kosova. Or any other date related with the war in Kosova, KLA, or with NATO interventions here. Of course that 28 November will be celebration day for Kosova but that will be ethnical day not national day.
For terminology there are a lot Kosovars hero that done a lot for freedom of this place like: Ymer Prizreni, Haxhi Zeka, Hasan Prishtina, Xhafer Deva and Jashari family ect……
While we are talking about terminology we should be carefully, for example when we say “the Mother land” or “Motherhood state” for Albania because this is a contradict with Independence of Kosova because only national minorities have “Mother land” or “Motherhood state” but the nations have “brother State” or “Sister State” like Albania and Kosova. Also for international terminology we can not allow that “Kosova” to be called “Kosovo” like we did now.
So in the future peoples of Kosovo need to fulfill their resume like this:
State: Kosova, Nationality: Kosovarë, Ethnicity: their ethnical origin (Albanian, Serbian, Turk etc…) Mother tongue: their mother tongue (Albanian, Serbian, Turkish etc…).

This will be new identity of all of them that will live in the Independent State of Kosova and remember this will bring PEACE in Balkan.

Novembers for Albanians

I love Peace

Last day’s of November in Albania and Kosovo and everywhere where Albanians live are celebrating days. The November is flag month for Albanians, is the month when lot of things happened.
On November 1443 Skenderbeu (Albanian hero) won the fight from Ottomans and took of their flag and rise red flag with the black eagle like a symbol of the Albanians. He kept Albania for 25 years free and he prevent the Europe to be occupied by ottomans. After his death Albanians again become under ottoman invaders.
But they never stopped fighting ottomans, so in the 28 November 1912 they attainment to rise a flag and to announce Independence of Albania. The flag was same just like Skenderbeu’s flag; just this time was rise by Albanian hero Ismail Qemaili and was sew by Marigona. There was a lot of Kosovars there because they announce Albania independent state with all the ethnic places on it. But, there were a lot of wars after this, and some of the Albanians territory left outside this state.
Anyway Albanians in Kosovo never stopped to fight for freedom so this made a lot of thing to happen. On November is born Adem Jashari, the legendary hero of Kosovars and the father of the KLA. November is a month when KLA (Kosovo Liberty Army) for the first time appears in public. So, this is month when Albanians made big changes for their faith and this is the month when every Albanians respect these hero’s that done so much to free this country.
On November when you walk down street in Kosovo, you can feel the celebrating atmosphere and you see shine faces of all Albanians which are proud more then ever to be Albanians. Today the first thing that I sow when I opened a window was three flags: Albanian flag, Kosovo’s flag (that is still symbol of Kosovo’s because we know that symbols need to be approved from people by referendum), and USA flag like thank for helping us.
Everyone that I met these days hopefully says that this will be the last year that we are celebrating just Albania’s Independence, ‘cause next year we will celebrate our Independence also with new date and new flag. I will go out tonight; I will call my friends, and will take a red flag and will celebrate and pray God for Kosovo’s independence and PeAcE.

Where is me!!!

I love Peace

It been a while that I didn’t post anything. That’s because these days I’m studying the Middle East conflicts because of my homework that I have for next week. Did I say next week? Oh god I will talk to my professor and I will ask him for more time because I really like to make a good study and to read the whole history of the conflict.
The name of theme that I’m working about is to find out if the: Middle East conflict is religious or not?
I’m in the middle road right now and I don’t know what to say even that I’m between two hypotheses. First I’m trying to find out if really this conflict is because of the faith, if really is something spiritually that causes all this wars there or if the states that have interests there are trying to give this the religious color.
For getting one real conclusion I’m basing on the Jerusalem story. There is really interesting history about this place. Is interesting how both, Israel’s and Palestine consider this the holy place and both want it for their state.
But, the part that I can’t understand is how those people made all those wars, all those victims and still they didn’t found one solution about this case.
And I cannot stop asking myself, “How it come that based on the faith they are killing all this peoples by trying to give to God a good proof that they love him”? Isn’t the best way to respect God by respecting his creation “lives of peoples”?
Anyway is not my duty to talk about moral at this time. All I need to do is to focus on the conflict cause and to verify my hypotheses. It looks I need to check Qur'än and Bible to se the spirituality connections of both peoples with this Place.
Until then I will try to give you a part of the Kosovo’s event. The most important news is that Ahtisar start visiting Balkan and right now he is on Serbia.
But, if you can’t wait you can check on the link under this post and there is a wonderful blog describing all events that are happening here. Finally I found something similar with my blog with a lot of comments from different persons. It good feeling when you see a lot of peoples giving their opinion about what they think for Kosova’s situation, and what they are waiting from the negotiations.

What I like mostly there is that it looks that everyone likes PEACE.

Kostunica’s speech on Serbia's Parliament

I love Peace

The Serbian Parliament has approved the project resolution of the Serbian Government for Kosovo. In the proposed reason from government, the prime minister of Serbia Vojislav Kostunica said that the resolving of Kosovo status need to save integrity of the Serbian and Montenegro territory, and the substantial autonomy for Albanians in Kosovo. On his speech Kostunica also said that “there is not any case in whole world that any national minority (on this way he calls Albanian in Kosovo) has the right to make their own state”. He said that “the right for the self determine pertain just people, but not national minorities. Albanian in Europe has their own state with century, so in Serbia they can win just wind political and territorial autonomy.
He also said that for his meaning Independence of Kosovo will cause irregularity not only on the region but in international arena also”.
“The government and Parliament of Serbia will be unique that Kosovo is the constituent part of Serbia’s, and that need to stay like that”, said Kostunica. For this resolution voted all deputies accept those from Democratic Party- President Boris Tadics’s Party, which abstained.

My opinion about this is just like all Kosovars opinion, this resolution is b.ll sh.t .

Here you have some facts that make the Kostunica’s speech incorrect and completely lie:

First Kosovo is not part of Serbia. If you read the history of Kosovo or even if you read the history of Serbia you will see that on the time when Serbia was recognized like state, Kosovo was not part of Serbia’s territory. On that time Kosovo was not natural part of Serbia’s government so why that need to be artificial part of Serbia? Kosovo become later part of Serbia. It wasn’t part of Serbia that’s why Kosovo was occupied by Serbia. So, Kosovo is occupied part and the people of Kosovo is not national minority of any state, people of Kosovo is “PEOPLE” and need to have the right of self determine and right to built his own state in their own territory, this right that Kostunica knows very well.

Second, the Albanians has their own state- (……….just look the same ideology of Kostunica with Milosevic when they depart and genocide the people of Kosovo to send them on their own state “Albania”…… this shows that leaders of Democratic Serbia” now have same ideology with Milosevic………….) -Albanians have one state but Kosovars don’t have any. Kosovars are not national minority and they don’t want to have their state based on nationality or ethnic state because if they could want this that will be a big problem for Serbia and all Balkan because Albanian nationality and ethnic territory includes half of territory that now pertain to Serbia-(Nish, Presheva, Bujanovc, Medvexha etc..), half of territory of Macedonia-(Tetova, Ohrid, SHkup, Strug, Kumanov,……etc….) , one peace of Montenegro-(Ulcin, Plav, Guci…etc…), one peace of Greek-(there where Arvanitas lives), one peace of Italia-(there where Arberesh lives). This will be the map of all “Albanians state”.
However, I will repeat again that his is not wish of Kosovo or Albania and this is showed by resolution of Albania that wants Kosovo to be independent state not to joy Albania and this is showed by all the wars and all the documents that Kosovo did all this years that this PEOPLE want to have Independence.

Third, Mr. Kostunica should know that Kosovo state won’t be based on national or ethnic nature because this won’t be only Albanian state but this will be multiethnic state which will include Serbians, Turkish, Bosnian, Goran, and gipsy nationality on this state but of course with Albanian majority. They all together will be one nation called “Kosovar” and will have same flag, same anthem, and the most important thing Kosovo will be democratic state and there won’t be ethnical, cultural, and educational difference but it will be the example of the coexistence of multinational peoples, minorities, nationalities which are gratefulness or convicted to live together but when all this peoples will have their right and respect for each others.

Fourth, I don’t know for what destabilize of region Mr. Kostunica is talking about? When I heard the Kostunica’s speech I went and checked the Balkans map and there I sow the Macedonia in border of Kosovo which is pro Kosovo’s independence, I sow Albania with is also pro independence, I sow Montenegro which is not against Kosovo independence and then I was sure that on region Kosovo will be stabilized place and have good relation ship with all neighbors.
Kosovo Independence will stabilized state of Serbia also, because when we will be Independent state Serbia will look forward for integration on the European Union or on NATO or on many international organizations in the world and just when Kosovo will become Independent, Serbia will become democratic place for all citizens that lives there because they will have time to resolve their problems and the winners of election will win based on the economic and democratic plans not on the nationalistic speech against Kosovo like always leaders of parties do during elections in Serbia.

However, for international arena I can say that will be problem independence of Kosovo, just in case if Serbia will try to do another war here that will cause an international problem (if Russia or Kina will support them). Or maybe Kostunica was seeing far away and was trying to say that they can cause FOURTH WORLD WAR……ha-ha……!!!!!! Who knows!? They did ones on First World War!!!!

However, all Deputies of Serbian acclaim Kostunica’s speech and this showed that all these deputies don’t know good their history or they have tried to learn it but they are based just in Serbian writers and books…… or if this is not like this then our way really will be hard because we have to do with “smart peoples” which can change the history of all Balkan just for their interest and this shows that they can do everything like always did.
This don’t need to make us afraid, but this need to make us to open our eyes and to don’t let them play dirtily games and to put down their lies with facts.
I know we have a lot of FACTS, Facts that are based on truth and with our truthfully we need to win a trust of all international community even if they knows good our way and sacrifice for freedom and independence in all this centuries.

New resolution for status of Kosova

I love Peace

Before few days, Albanian Parliament have approved one resolution for Kosova status. They showed that Albania is pro- independence of Kosova and on this way is trying to help Kosova for full Independence. This resolution is voted from all deputies of Albania’s Parliament.
After some declaration made by ministry for foreign affairs, Besnik Mustafaj that Kosovo need to have conditional independence, this resolution from Albanian Government is welcomed for the people of Kosovo because there is no named any conditional for Kosovo but there says that Kosovo needs to have full independence.
Also this gives another benefit for Kosovo because by this resolution there won’t be anymore illusions that Albanians are trying to be together in one state “Great Albania”. This showed that Albanians are not living anymore in illusions or in “folkloric time” for having all Albanians territories on one states, this shows that all they want is good, safe, and independent future.

My opinion about Kosovo resolution

I love Peace

I didn't comment before the Kosovo's resolution approved from parliament of Kosovo because I don’t know what to say. It really has a good side and bad side.

A good side is that leaders of Kosovo in the end have one plan for Kosovo status, now they have one document in the place of the worlds that they use to say always. Now they can say that they can do something together, and when Ahtisar or any other international leader comes for visit, they will have one paper when they wrote something. Also as we know this was the only way to go ahead with other plans because some of our leaders recondite the work of the negotiations group with this reconfirmation so now new plans can go on and be prepared of course based on the parliament resolution.

The bad side of this is that confirmation was needed to came from Albanians peoples directly with referendum, but for my meaning this reconfirmation was unnecessarily because we never didn’t lose our volition for independence and for that we had one referendum for independence of Kosova on the 1991 when 100% of all Kosovars was pro- independence of Kosovo so we don’t need to confirm our wish for independence any more. The other bad thing is that this is the maximum that we are trying to get from negotiations and always when you say that there will be a consensus mean that two delegations will take of something from their plans, they can not take everything they want and in this case we cant take off nothing and in this way we will be negotiation and un-consensus part on this negotiations.

Foray of “Adem Jashari’s” family, hard provocation for Albanians

I love Peace

In midnight of the 11 November 2005, the Jasharaj family had one hard provocation from KFOR, UN police and police of Kosovo (SHPK).
It was just same night like long time ago when Jasharaj family used to be surrounded by the army and the paramilitary of Serbia which was going to foray them for arms and anything else, and which from same army during the war time was massacres all the members of this family except three or four children’s which were not at home and one boy who was outside the Kosovo on that time.
Just to remain that for Albanians the Jasharaj family is saint place and saint family which symbolize the resistance and the freedom of this country. The Adem Jashari was the commandant and the father of the Kosovo Liberation Army which in the fighting with Serbian army and paramilitary got killed and after this they massacre his family.

The only difference in 11’s November night from these times written above is that there was no fight and no hurt people when KFOR surrounded the Jasharaj Houses, there was French KFOR with UN police and Kosovo police who entered in midnight in Jashari family without any warning or bylaw and foray everything on their houses and after this when the journalist asked the KFOR for this foray they said that they cannot talk about.
And for one Albanian family this is called shame. For Albanian people this is called shame.
Everyone is hurt with this KFOR action and it is like a provocation on Albanian people because if we just start looking behind there are a lot of peoples on Kosovo which still live in Kosovo or in any neighbors state that had done a massacres on this family or in any other Albanian family and they never got foray. There are a lot of trouble makers on whole Kosovo and KFOR or police never foray them. There are e lot of killing that are happening and KFOR or Police are not finding the authors of these killings.
And what the KFOR did with this? On this case they have foray one legendary family and here in Kosovo stay the impression that KFOR is harass innocent peoples in inability to catch criminals and trouble makers.
There is a lot of work here for KFOR and Police a lot of thing that needs to be done, so these will be the smartest thing that they need to do and for what they are here.
We must tell everyone that this is not the first time that French KFOR is playing with Kosovars patience and this is not first time when they find a not convenient time to touch Albanians feeling on one historical time when we need to be patient and to forget everything behind us just to win our century wish which is INDEPENDENCE.
We all can imagine the fillings of Jasharaj family on that time; they are treating like any criminal family. We all can imagine how the survived members of the family felt when they remembered that night when everyone of their family got killed.
This really hurt, so French KFOR must know that is on their own good to remind themselves something when still is not late that:
Albanians are very peace peoples, but when become on question mark their dignity, the homeland faith; they don’t let anyone to touch their dignity, their patience has one limit so it will be in their goodness to pull their finger in a head before they touch again this family.
No one here is against KFOR, on the contrary we like them, we love them like we did when they came here for the first time during the war time, but all we want is to respect us just like we respect them, not to play with our feelings.

Around us

I love Peace

The story that I will write on was a “boom” on my family and on me too. I sow that peoples can be blind even if they have their eyes on. I sow how indifferent we are from a lot of bad things that happened around us.
The story that I’m talking to has happened this days on one mine cousin’s family. My far cousin come at my house to talk to my father about some problems that he have in his house that he can’t resolve by his self so he needed some advices since newer in his life he didn’t even imagine that something like that gonna happened. He was my father best friend always so he believed that he will give any good advice to him.
Before few days his son who is 25 years old came home crying and he told his father to send him to medic because long time he is taking drugs and he wanted to stop taking it any more but he couldn’t do that by himself. Our causing got socked it was the first time in his life that he have heard that someone that he knew was taking drug. He didn’t know just what to do, so he wears his coat and run to our house to ask my father what to do.
My father was shocked too, but he told him to take his son and to send him to hospital and then to do what medics will tell him to do. And he did the same thing, that day he took his boy and sends him to hospital and then they told him to stay on hospital until they will make him strong to survive without taking drug. He is still in hospital and the medics are taking care for him.
First medics asked him how long he took drugs but he wasn’t sure about time because he stopped it for a while when he was taking it like smoke and after while he start taking it needle. But after test they found out that for one year and a half he is taking drugs with needle. Then the medic asked him why he takes it for the first time? And he answered that he didn’t knew for sure if that was drug because his friend told him that that is just special cigarette. And then he liked it and everyday he uses to smoke it with his friends. After this they was curious to try another kind of drugs so they start taking with noise and then by needle. His family didn’t notice anything at this time. Once, before a year they send him to medic because he was sick and they asked him why his eyes are always kind of red and why he looks bloodless but the medic told then that a boy have some problems with adrenals so this are the symptom’s of this. This was a story which his father told it to our family.
So now G… (like this I will call my cousin in future) is on hospital. It looks like in hospital they have special department for taking care about these peoples.
I was curious to see that place so when my parents went to visit him on hospital I please them to take and me there. I was happy that hospital has one place like that for resolving these problems but I sow that all the rooms was empty and when I asked one medic why all of rooms are empty he told me that they don’t have patient.
And I was thinking if really there aren’t anymore peoples that are using drugs? G… said that he start it with his friends? How many friends? Where are they now? Are they still using drugs? Did somebody from their family know that they are taking drugs? We know that there are a little chances that one drug addict ask for help, every one of them run from help, but is terrible when we a society are so little organized to help these peoples.
But, I know that we need to do something about. We need to inform all families, all pupils, all students for dangerous.
It was truly that before 1999 here was not this kind of problems but I think that kosovars needs to stop being pride for the healthiest youth in the whole world. I think we all need to take a look around, and to see how blinds we are. I think we need to do something; I need to do something about this. This makes us inability society so we need to stop this thing happened to our neighbors, to our cousins because is we tolerate today this to happened to them, tomorrow will happened to us. We really need to do something.

"One day"

I love Peace

I was to visit my relatives. They live in one village in Shterpce municipality which is multiethnic populated. One of my cousins was going on meeting with some non government organizations and I went with him.
We went there on meeting on the Serbian side and talk about their new project. On the brakes (rests), I was talking with some Serbians about the Kosovo situation. They were about my aged and one of them was studying in Beograd University for Political Sciences. I was curious to hear them talking about Kosovo and to have their opinion and their hopes for here. I asked them about the economic and politic situation in Shterpce ‘cuse since I don’t live there I’m little away from their problems, and they started to explain that the economic situation there is very bad because they don’t have a lot of chances to get job and this is very bad because lot of peoples are living on bad living conditions. They said that Government need to do more for this place since here is a tourist place and with a little invest things can change for good.
While for political situations they said that everything is going good since they don’t have any problem with Albanians and they are free to move in whole Kosovo without problem and whenever they like. Then I asked them what they think about Kosovo status?
Nobody talk. I was trying to find out why they are so quite on this question. Are they afraid or what? Then by insisting to get one answer I asked them which status will be convenient for them? After this one of them said: I think that for moment Serbians in Kosovo are not sure what to do. To go in Serbia’s negotiation group or with Kosovo’s negotiation group, or to make their own group. On this time they are in the crossroad which is not easy to choose on which side to go.
Anyway in the end, she said that a good choice for them will be that Kosovo and Serbia to be together but this is one big question mark for us like for you independence. They said that they will be more safe and secure if Kosovo will enjoy Serbia and Montenegro Union and this was a part when I didn’t agree with them like majority peoples in Kosovo. I told them that they are looking just one side of all of this. I asked them what about Albanians, which are 90% and all of them likes Kosovo independence? I asked them what if albanians in Kosovo wants to enjoy Albania? And then I tried to explain to them why we don’t want to do that because the main reason is that we want to make our state which will be different from others states in Balkan.
However we continued talking and in the end we agreed that the only thing that is important for is to have more jobs, to save this stability and cooperation between this two ethnicities and to have good life here together in Kosovo. Then I start talking with my faculty college from Beograd University and he said that just a diplomacy and Medias in Beograd care about Serbians because peoples that are born there, they don’t talk for Kosovo and they are not very interesting what’s going on here. And then I asked him if in University they talk about Kosovo and what the academic level things about final status? And he start laughing and said: “I can’t tell you that your state will be independent but I can tell you this that what we learn for Kosovo is same like we learn for Cyprus or Israel, and he said I’m sure that our leadership don’t have any idea that is doing with Kosovo all that they can say for here is “more then autonomy and less then independence””. I said that it’s just like with our leaders that all that they can say is” JUST INDEPENDENCE” and they don’t have any idea or plan how to make this come true.
After this conversation they continued meeting and the focus was: how to develope our municipality.

Anyway from this visit I understood how much people of Kosovo is doing for a good life, I understood that even if we are different in our meanings or even if we have different ways to realize our ideas, our goals are same, and our faith is same because we live in same place, near each others. The time when we used to oppress each others is over.
So, and I’m sure that “one day” we will understand that just together we can achieve our goals and we can be important part of the world “without them” that Albanians and Serbians calls that they are their MOTHERS STATE.
“One day” we will understand that together we can do everything that we want just the precondition of this is to love same thing. But, I want “that day” to become TODAY so in this way and future will change and will be a good future.

Happy Bajram

I love Peace

Today is holiday in Kosovo. It’s Fiter Bajram, Muslims holiday.
One month before this Holiday everybody needs to fast (Ramadan month), so on this month everyone will be same, everyone will solidarism with poor people, everyone needs to pray and give to poor people money or even a good word.
While on the last day of Ramadan they who have money and they who works needs to give to poor people money or to bay for them something that they need and in this way everyone for Bajram needs to be happy and everybody will have a lot of food and good things to eat, to wear including and poor peoples.
Today on the Bajram day, everybody wake up early in the morning and goes to mosque to pray for Bajram and then they felicitate each others happy Bajram. Also everyone needs to go to visit relatives, neighbors.
This is a day when everyone needs to give smiling and forgiveness to all peoples. This is the day when everyone needs to pray for peace and happiness for the entire world.

Today I will pray for Kosovo, I will pray for all those peoples that gave their life for freedom and for peace in Kosovo, I will pray for the lost people on the war and hope their family will hear soon for them. I will pray for my family and for the entire world.

I wish you all the best and Happy Bajram.

This is one message on Albanian Language:
Mos harro vëlla/motër që të veprosh nga veprat e mira; që të mbash lidhjet dhe të vizitosh të afërmit dhe farefisin dhe ta harrosh hidhërimin që e kishe në ta, zilinë dhe urrejtjen kundër tyre; dhe ta pastrosh zemrën nga këto sëmundje. Mos harro të varfërin dhe jetimin që ti ndihmosh dhe ti gëzosh kur njerëzit janë të gëzuar e ata janë të mërzitur e të hidhëruar…Mos ngurro që në këtë ditë të shenjtë të pendohesh dhe të kërkosh falje për të gjitha gabimet që ke bërë……mos harro të lutesh për vehten, familjen dhe gjithë botën, të lutesh për paqe dhe lumturi……

shame for our leaders

I love peace

These two days everything is going bad.

“He told me: You don’t have right to talk before me, and without my permission…. You should know that even if the god tells you to talk you can not talk when I’m there……. Here is the plan, what you think about it….Emmmm I think my plan is better then yours, here you have it……. But he told me………“

These are the words that you can hear in television, these are the words that you can read on the newspapers, and these are the words that can describe the Kosovo’s “Unity Group” which consist the leaders of Kosovo: Rugova, Daci, Thaci, Surroi and leader of negotiations group Blerim Shala.
On the meeting that they had for approving the plan for negotiations was the terrible meeting with a lot of bad words; vituperations are said from the members of the meeting. That meeting supposed to give the plan for negotiations for what kosovars are waiting for a long time and are hoping for good plan which will bring the independence here but seams like our leaders had “more important things to do”. On this meeting they even discussed about this, they was talking about why mister Shala spoke first few days ago when they had one meeting with vice-secretary of United States Nicholas Burns.
Let me be more specific:
After Nicholas Burns’s speech about the Kosovo and the negotiations, he asked Mr. Shala about the preparing that group of negotiations is doing and Mr. Shala started speaking and after this Mr. Daci become nervous and told him in Albanian that he don’t have right to talk before him because there are representatives of institutions that needs to talk first about this (Mr. Daci lead Parliament of Kosovo). And then tomorrow the newspapers started writing that Mr. Shala is trying to be “Bajraktar” which in English means like “he wanted to be first” or “cacique”.
While, after this on the meeting that “Unity Group” had, everything went bad and on the evening all televisions and tomorrow newspapers had everything from this meeting, also Mr. Shala was in television to “explain” opinion that Kosovo’s leaders told him.
Also on this meeting Mr. Thaci told lot of bad things to Mr. Rugova. Also they didn’t approve the plan by negotiations group accept Rugova and Surroi others: Daci had another plan (his own plan) and Thaci told that first Parliament needs to confirm the volition of kosovars for independence. My question on this is to “whom” to explain that Kosovars want independence. I sure that after this confirmation by Parliament UNMIK will demolish this. And for kosovars we all know that we want to be independent there is not necessary to confirm it. For me this explains just one thing “We are losing time”.

This is shame for Kosovo’s leaders. They must know that politics on this sensitive period does not need to be making on Medias; television or newspaper. Now is the time to do everything on paper. Now is the time to get one consensus between them. There is not necessary to show that he is more Albanian then whom, or who like independence more.
We all showed that we love independence and peace.
Also, Kosovo’s leader must know that: People of Kosovo doesn’t care who of them will be first, people of Kosovo needs to have his independence no matter who will talk first or second or last from leaders. They must know that they are not bringing the independence to this people, but this people had sacrifice this decades to came on this day on this minute that no one don’t have right to lose because selfishness.
