Serbia is "created" by the Albanian
History seems to be a new battle between Kosovo and Belgrade. Writer and publicist, Yusuf Buxhovi, brings for the first time a book on the history of Kosovo. The book has sparked reactions in the Serbian academic circles
Even when Serbia was admitted as a state in the Congress of Berlin in 1878, under the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman sources, about half the population was not Serbian. Majority Albanians and Vlachs constituted, as no Greek majority but Arvanit, when Greece was admitted as a state in 1831.
"My work although called Kosovo represents the natural history of Albania from antiquity (fifth millennium) on", so says the writer and historian, Yusuf Buxhovi, in an interview for "English" on his book "History of Kosovo "which opened strong debate among historians in Serbia and Kosovo. A ready Kosovo and Serbia have a history free of nationalism? Why deny two genocides that have made Serbs in Kosovo? Book Buxhovi is in three volumes: Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Ottoman Empire. He concludes that Dardanians founder of Troy and bearers of ancient civilization, which unfairly been attributed to the Greeks, who came too late and absorbed all Pelasgian civilization, and even their writing. According to him, the "Iliad" and ancient philosophy present spiritual heritage of the Albanians.
Your book "History of Kosovo", starts from antiquity and the Middle Ages to proceed with the Ottoman Empire. What in your opinion identifies the Albanians in this period?
Initially, it should be clarified that "Kosova" is critical historiography. It is, therefore, an individual project, which relies on the concept of space-time focus range that starts from the fifth millennium comes to our days. In this context etnogjeneza as ethnic Albanians, is seen associated with the Pelasgians, an empire with many kingdoms, among which the most important are that Dardan with Troy, the Macedonian kingdom, it Epirotic and Illyrian kingdoms. This kundrim, not hurting Illyrian current theory, but which meets under the Pelasgian empire, which was the world and the foundation of the ancient civilization. By pellazge heritage arose and developed two major empires: the Roman (from Dardanii, Galabrët and Etruscan) and Byzantine (mainly dardano-Illyrians).
"Kosova" has brought a lot of controversy, but also anger Serbian historians, who called it "a fantasy" and unfounded on facts?
Serbian historians anger and tank has been justified, because they first encounter an authorial book Albanian writer, and also, for the first time, faced with a historiography which undermines their lies about Albanians , with which they are fed hegemonic popular programs against Albanians, which appeal of Great Serbian policy exerted four genocide against Albanians (the first in 1877/8, the second in 1912 / '13, the third in 1944 / 45 and the fourth in 1998 / '99). Serbian historians Pelasgian thesis is angry, then appearance role shtetfromues in Byzantium, and the denial of the medieval Serbian state in Kosovo, which has never existed (except county and other religious-tribal arrangements, which have subsequently others) . Also, Serbian academics has greatly grieved, my claim that in Kosovo after the Serbian Orthodox church, but Catholic or Orthodox rite Christianity, and the Albanians, Christianity received from the third century, while the tenth century Slavs . This disproves the myth about the Kosovo issue cradle "Serbian spiritual" and the like, which is chock full of Serbian historiography and unfortunately managed to fool the placement centers yesterday, but today ... are therefore facts protect me from Serb allegations, facts that they know, but do not want to give them up, because it was falling appeal of Great Serbian hegjemonsit concept, which even today the whole day trying to destabilize the Balkans and especially Albanians.
Historical books of this nature are usually academic institutions initiatives, do you feel that can be judged when you wrote this book?
It is the duty of official academies and scientific institutions to deal with such projects, especially in the context of major social and political changes, such as those through which we are passing. Several times I have raised this issue and I wanted to Tirana and Pristina to act in this direction, but almost nothing has happened. This has not prevented researchers do my work, work that raises a number of issues that have to do with revisions, in which necessarily pass our historiogarfia, I like or do not like this one. However, my work, which is highly appreciated by the public (five reprints within eight months with a circulation of more than twenty-five thousand copies), along with harsh criticism that came from Belgrade, did not escape some prejudices, by some "historians" and Kosovo academics, who, out of jealousy if they have not done anything, although well paid, tried my work anatemojnë politically etikuar "nationalistic act", "action that denies the Serbs" and even "deed that arouses hatred" or similar!
How difficult it was to fall on the trail of documents and where did you find them?
There are over thirty years that deal with research in German and Austrian archives. Most of these documents I obtained from the Political Archive of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Germany in Bonn, then the Berlin Historical Archive, Archive Majcit he East European Institute in Munich and the Vienna State Archives. Another part of the documents I obtained from the Yugoslav archives, but there were also documents from the Ottoman archives, they Russian, Italian and Greek. An important role in koncipimin of my work, have played important works of world historiography that have addressed the issue Albanians from antiquity to our time.
Whose was Kosovo, and which country had the first dwelling on it?
Kosovo, for me, represents the epicenter of natural Albania from ancient times until today. Obviously it has to do with Dardania and Dardanii, but Illyrians, Macedonians, Epirotes and others, branched from the Pelasgians. In this ongoing history of five thousand years, ie from prehistory and historical time, the kingdom Dardan has been one of the most important factors of antiquity. After the fall of the kingdom Dardan, this space will again play a very important role during the Roman Empire and the Byzantine. Dardania, as part of Ilirikut, will return to the main factor of Byzantium, where they are rooted three identities which should be linked to the Albanian state being: Administrative identity (revealed by Diocletian), ecclesial identity (promulgated by Constantine the Great ) and the legal and political identity (published by Justinian). The term Kosovo is recent. Displayed in the nineteenth century, with the vilayet of Kosovo, as such, represents the epicenter of national rebirth (the League of Prizren), which will also lead to the independence of Albania. So Kosova (Dardania) always had the spiritual identity state dardano-Illyrian-Albanian arbëror.
When the first signs of Serbia in Kosovo?
Not to be confused with Serbian Slavic presence, because they represent a conglomerate of peoples barbaric Slavs, attacked Ilirikun and Dardania from VI century onwards, to be displayed as tribal formations IX century onwards, with Serbs, retailers appear century XIX. So in Kosovo, Slavs appear in the thirteenth century, as invaders, but without the attributes of the kingdom, or empire, as we see today all day in the official historiography in Albania and Kosovo, but came as tribes led by Zupanja and despots. Even people Raska, Serbs call "medieval Serbian kingdom," according to many indications, it was not Serbian, but tribal (a Pelasgian tribe associated with Dardanians). They Serbian historiography tells about "Car" Dushan, or "King" Millutinit, are forgeries, as both the first and second were Orthodox feudal, like many other feudal arbërorë Orthodox, who were part of Byzantium and nothing more. Even when Serbia was admitted as a state in the Congress of Berlin in 1878, under the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman sources, about half the population was not Serbian. Majority Albanians and Vlachs constituted, as no Greek majority but Arvanit, when Greece was admitted as a state in 1831.
How do you think plays the history of the Balkans?
Albanians and Albania, in relation to the Balkans, but others appear in the center of the ancient world, as its cradle. They are the main protagonists of history from antiquity to our time. This is a truth that our historiography is to say, without hesitation.
How difficult it has been for you this initiative and is prepared opinion in Kosovo or the region to have a new state history of Kosovo?
Each state must have at least the political history. My works claiming to portray Kosovo Albanian as the epicenter of the natural world from antiquity until today, it has actually been. Although the Albanian political history, the independence of Albania, is located in the "periphery" instead of the center, it does not mean that our history to pursue violent political frameworks, who've set out to others.
