You have to be pretty crazy to believe that Aleksandar Vučić, former minister of the Butcher of the Balkans and today’s President of Serbia, could address the Serbian people on a beautiful spring day: “Here, after more than a quarter of a century, our glorious army has recovered the occupied territories. Kosovo and Metohija is and will remain Serbian”.
There is no doubt that the Republic of Kosovo and the Republic of Serbia will stare at each other for a long time, perhaps even for decades. However, the talk of a new war in Kosovo is not only wrong, but also utopian, especially in the current reality. With the military intervention of NATO in March 1999 and the deployment of KFOR in June of the same year, the Serbian dream of Kosovo was completely shattered. This will be an eternal and indisputable truth.
Rhetoric about war as an option is populist rhetoric, no matter who or where it comes from, and it is electoral. In a society with a pro-Western mentality, politicians would be punished for using such bellicosity as the strongest weapon to gain and maintain power, but in a Balkan mentality, such rhetoric sounds patriotic, is designed to raise vigilance, and should therefore be taken for granted.
When we speak of a “Balkan mentality”, this term is more suitable for the Serbian people, because despite the bloodshed caused by the Belgrade regime in the last decade of this century that we left behind, Serbian voters did not succeed in breaking away from the shell of nationalism and allowing those who committed massacres and genocide in almost the entire former Yugoslavia to remain in power.
However, the political clique in Belgrade is more convinced than I, who writes these words, that the option of occupying Kosovo (which they call the temporarily occupied territory) by war is not only demagogic but also completely impossible, but due to this approach this clique, having fed the moldy minds of Serbian voters and having found its scope, uses it as a bait to retain power, thus trapping Serbian citizens in a vortex of lies, which have been deeply nourished by history.
Serbian President Vucic’s attitude towards the territory of Kosovo and the Serbian minority in our country deserves close attention. Convinced that Kosovo will not become Serbian, he also tries to prevent Kosovo from becoming “Albanian”. Thus, the Serbian minority in Kosovo is constantly blackmailed by the Belgrade regime to maintain this balance, although the option of unifying the Albanians into one state, no matter how based on historical realities, is hardly feasible in Kosovo under the current situation.
The unstoppable progress of the Republic of Albania, especially in the last two decades, makes the discussion about the Kosovo war more powerful than ever before in the face of President Vucic’s opinion, and the purpose of such a discussion is to prevent the unity of Albanians in one state, even though, as we said, it is almost impossible to achieve in the current situation, but fascist politicians are always afraid of historical realities.
However, I remind Kosovo decision-makers that talking about war as little as possible does not mean that we should not strengthen ourselves in terms of national security. On the contrary. Therefore, war is not an option, and every time we talk about war, we consciously or unconsciously pour water on the millstone of the Serbian president, who only grinds evil for the Republic of Kosovo and the citizens of this republic.
