Sociological Pilot analyses
The South East
European Institute of International Affairs
presents a commentary of our
Associate Member, Fadil Maloku,
Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Social Sciences and Sociology, Pristine
University – Kosovo, on the current situation in Kosovo.
The commentary will be shortly
available on our web site, too, at
(www.seeiia.freeservers.com)
Since the SEEIIA operates, inter
allia, as an e-based forum of exchanging views on a non-partisan basis, it will
publicize the views of the Serbian side, too. The aim of this discourse is to
provide intellectual ground for conflict resolution and initiate a genuine
healing process with the final aim of regulating the tense relations between the
two communities according to International Law.
The views expressed here are
personal and do not necessarily reflect the views of the SEEIIA. We avoided
editing and “interfering with” the text to allow readers formulate their own
point of view on the situation and make their own evaluating judgements.
The SEEIIA would like to thank
Fadil Maloku for his cooperation.
WHAT CAUSED THE MARCH 2004 KOSOVAR REBELLION?
Domestic media, and in particular foreign media, have
conducted a propaganda campaign trying to consume, and more particularly
address, the latest events through an ethnic message. Those less informed, and
those who tend to look at the world through a black and white spectrum, will
naturally address these events as such.
Only multidimensional future analyses will bring to light the
reflections of this message in post war Kosovo. As for now, if we place the
whole event under a sociological microscope and, using a surgeons scalpel, we
should try to diagnose, not the effects as some politicians and local analysts
are actually doing, but, in bold lines, the causes (or the real cause, because
we are dealing with an event, turmoil, rebellion or a tendency that pretends
changes of whatever nature they may be) that will direct us towards the relevant
facts that incited Kosovar Albanian youth to rebel on this scale and at this
time.
