Serbian Forum Leader: Kosovo's Battle of Kosovo Commemoration is 'Identity Theft'

Momčilo Trajković, leading the Serbian National Forum (SNF) based in Gračanica, has strongly condemned Kosovo's planned commemoration of the Battle of Kosovo. Trajković described the initiative as an act of "identity theft" that actively obstructs the path toward peace and reconciliation.

The SNF issued a statement asserting that the planned activities by the municipality of Obilić, which operates within Kosovo's administrative framework, are inappropriate and counterproductive. Trajković specifically criticized the approach taken by Kosovo's authorities, arguing that it does not contribute to building trust or fostering a peaceful environment between communities.

Trajković's remarks highlight a deep-seated tension surrounding historical commemorations in the region. He contends that Kosovo's unilateral actions in commemorating a pivotal historical event for Serbs undermine Serbian identity and heritage. This perspective frames the commemoration not as a celebration of history, but as a political act that exacerbates ethnic divisions rather than promoting the peaceful coexistence that is crucial for the region's future.

Kurti's commemoration of the Battle of Kosovo is identity theft; that is not how peace is built.
