The Belgrade regime does not learn from the former Serbian social democrats

What was the attitude of the Serbian social-democrats in front of the Belgrade regime, in relation to the Albanians?

Serbian social democrat Dushan Popović wrote in 1912: Man as an individual could start any solution of this problem from the "dead point", only if he has previously reached a mature level of civilization.

First, it is a duty and an obligation for that individual to know not only himself and his own shadow, but also what the devil inside him thinks, the one who breathes inside him, that sick and worn out self for centuries. This is not achieved without inner effort, but neither is it without struggle and suffering when the raging waves that you discover within yourself appear. The individual must overcome the adolescence of his emotional and immature action during the reaction. We must overcome immature reactionary judgment and undeveloped thinking about coexistence, eradicating once and for all the blind love of power.

In order to start the formation of a person in general from the "dead point", to reach some degree of maturity, it is a duty and obligation for that individual to recognize his own shadow, the dark side of the self that lives inside him, to achieve overcome your sick inferiority.

This is not achieved without internal efforts and not without great hardships and sufferings, precisely when the individual discovers this disease within himself. The inferior individual, sick in spirit, does not see another path. And this specific patient is the Serbian people.

We should not be surprised by the narrow and miserable horizon of the Serbian officers whom the regime has taught to kill and massacre tens of thousands of Albanians, children, women, old people and the sick in cold blood, and consider these massacres their heroism. We should not be surprised by the mentality of the Serbian government that gives these orders without a grain of morality, just to increase their appetite for the extermination of Albanians and their families. People with such a worldview and politics rise to the top of the political hierarchy in Serbia.

When these disasters happen to individuals or a certain people, then anyone who wants to think freely about the events, would have to ask the question: how much are we to blame for having contributed to Albanians hating us?! Where and when did we go wrong?

Vladeta Jerotiq has emphasized in a note on the events in Kosovo: In the Serbian government, we see the savagery of a teenager, the emotional immaturity during the reaction, the undeveloped level of civilization for life in the community. We see in the Serbian people the dangerous cultivation of elements of anachronistic individualism within themselves, the chronic illness for power, the overestimation of their own biological and intellectual forces, and all this leads to self-realization and the loss of power for survival, reaching the degree of complete lack of consciousness.

Miodrag Jeremic wrote: "Politika" newspaper is an organ of Serbian chauvinists and provocateurs. That newspaper is an organ of the bloodthirsty Serbian bourgeoisie that manipulates the masses with articles called "patriotic". The Serbian government press writes everything evil against the Albanians. Facts from the field prove the opposite of what the government press writes. Albanians united in the uprising liberated Skopje. In that case they did not rob or kill any honest man. No one was beheaded in Skopje. Those insurgents did not loot any shop or craftsman in Skopje. Arnauts in Kosovo are honest people. This is evidenced by the numerous shops of Serbian merchants that were not looted in any case. On the other hand, our committees in soldier uniforms looted everything the Albanians had. They took the grain in the barns, the wheat and corn, the cattle in the manger or in the pasture. When Ferizaj was occupied, there were only three Catholic Albanian merchants left, while all the other shops belonged to the Serbs, but they were not looted by the Albanians. The Serbian bourgeois press does not write about this anywhere. Even in Serbian schools, endless hatred against Albanians has been sown, and thus the government of Belgrade has grown to poison the younger generation by aligning them on the side of the Serbian committee, which in military uniform and in the name of all Serbs does not allow evil to be done in the future. occupied Albanian, writes Miodrag Jeremiq.

Social Democrat Dragisha Llapčević: With the policy of the Serbian government, conditions and circumstances have been created that will not stop the conflicts and disasters between the Albanian and Serbian people for many years. Serbia has sent its army to invade Albania all the way to the sea with the desire to subjugate the Albanian people and enslave them. They went there with rifles and cannons, but they only succeeded in awakening the consciousness of the Albanians to rise up in the fight for freedom. The price of this barbaric policy of the Serbian government has been paid by the Serbian people with the lives of many of their soldiers. After the fall of Kumanova, the mass of Albanians followed by the Serbian army that filled Skopje, fleeing before an army of commies without a grain of responsibility and morality, found death by Serbian knives. The systematic violence did not stop even after the end of the combat operations, which in fact were not, since the Serbian army did not have an army in front of it, but people without any protection. Someone thought that after the invasion, the massacre of Albanians would stop, but it didn't happen like that.

The Serbian knife continued to guard the heads of the Albanian population of Peja, Gjakova and Prizren. Therefore, no one who falls asleep is sure to wake up alive. During the night, the Serbian committee takes the Albanians from their homes and secretly kills them in certain places so that their corpses will never be found.

When I realized that Serbian committees were committing these crimes against an entire people, I saw that such psychology dominated the entire hierarchy of the Serbian government, from the minister to the last gendarme. There is no sign of when this policy of Serbia towards the Albanians will stop.

Dimitrije Tucovic: From the attempt to occupy Albania and the entire Albanian nation, the Serbian government has earned only their hatred. The border with Albania should not be guarded by Serbian military battalions with rifles and cannons, but this should be done by a cultured policy towards Albanians to make them neighbors and friends.

Even the current government has thrown all the works of the Serbian social democrats into the closet where no one can find them. None of the works of Svetozar Markovic, Dimitrije Tucovic, Kosta Novakovic, Dusan Popovic, Dragisha Llpacevic, Vladeta Jerotic, Miodrag Jeremic and other Serbian intellectuals can be found in any bookstore in Belgrade or in other cities of Serbia. Instead of those works, today in Serbian bookstores and libraries you can find the works of Sesel and Mladic, while the billboards of the war criminals Mladic and Karadzic have flooded the squares and walls of the cities.

How much time has passed only after the last war, since when the so-called Serbian-Albanian talks began, and exactly no one from the audience knows what agreements were signed. At the end of a round of talks, the delegation of Kosovo, with its mouth full, declared that it had reached a historic agreement. On the other hand, the Serbian delegation bombarded its audience that it has managed to keep the Serbian state intact and that Serbia does not recognize and will never recognize the independence of Kosovo. Not once has there been a statement that those agreements were ever implemented.

It is enough to remember the bombastic meeting a few months ago in Ohrid. The Kosovar side publicly declared, more than once, that it accepted and signed the Ohrid Agreement, while the Serbian head of state did not accept the agreement, but with his statements he was ridiculed in every public appearance.

If we consider the history of Serbian-Albanian relations, it can be concluded that official Serbia is not even thinking about peace with the Albanians of Kosovo. Those few Serbs who think differently from the current officials in Belgrade have tried to speak out, but they have been ignored, persecuted and many times even liquidated by their regime.

Everything seems like you are repeating what has been heard for more than a century.
