Kosovars and other Albanians - Why Great Albania is a Myth
To the politicians of the Balkans - almost without exception corrupt and
despised by their own constituencies - the myth of Great Albania comes handy. It
keeps the phobic Macedonians, the disdainful Serbs and the poor and crime ridden
Albanians united and submissive: each group for different, idiosyncratic
reasons.
To reiterate, the Myth of Great (or Greater) Albania is the
belief that people of Albanian extract, wherever they may be, regard their
domicile as part of a Great Albania and undertake all efforts necessary to
secure such an outcome. Thus, to mention one example, Kosovo would, in all
likelihood, become a part of this Great Albania, so the myth goes, because prior
to 1912, when the Serbs occupied it, Kosovo has administratively been a
component of an Ottoman mandated Albania |
