Wrong side on Kosovo
Updated 7 hours ago

Re "Kosovo, Quebec two different stories" (March 20) - I was very surprised
and very sorry that Canada joined the U.S.A. and some other countries to
approve that Kosovo was taken away from my Serbian brothers and declared an
independent country, which makes it sound like Kosovo wanted to leave
Serbia. That was the biggest lie, showing that Prime Minister Harper does
not know much about the history of Kosovo which is a sacred place for my
Serbian brothers, just like Rome is to Italians.

During the Turkish (Ottoman) invasion of Europe on their way to Vienna,
thousands of Serbians lost their lives, fighting with Turks at Kosovo to
stop them progressing to Europe. However today, Albanians want to occupy
Kosovo and area and populate it with Albanians.

But who actually happened to start this Kosovo problem? The article from
Canadian Press printed in The Examiner did not mention that Albanians are
the reason the "liberation" of Kosovo started.

I will tell Mr. Harper the real truth. After the end of the Second World
War, Albanian Prime Minister Enver Hodja asked our Prime Minister, J.B.
Tito, for help because Albania is a very poor country with not enough food
to feed them all. So Tito decided to take several thousand Albanian families
and bring them to Kosovo at the Albanian border. However when you are good
to somebody, in many cases, you pay for your goodness. Those Albanians used
night to smuggle relatives and neighbours over the border mountains and
filled the area to the point that Serbs, who were still tired from the war,
started moving to other parts of Serbia rather than fighting again.

Now Albanians claim Kosovo as their land and announce that they want to
liberate Kosovo. Unfortunately when Tito passed away the situation worsened.
To declare Kosovo independent is just a cover and 30 countries recognized
the new country Kosovo, including Canada, against the protest of Serbia -
but Albania will take it over without any problem to these 30 countries. But
as the article stated, two dozen countries sided with the Serbs, including
Russia and Slavic brothers of Serbs.

As for me, I felt that after Tito's death Yugoslavia would disappear so I
decided before it happened to leave, and in 1951, I chose Canada as the best
country in this world and today I am a very proud Canadian citizen
