Summary: | Throughout history, the Serbian province of Kosovo and Metohija has been the place where Serbian national and cultural consciousness was established through the Orthodox faith and literature. Since the 15th century, the characteristics of Serbian national identity have been formed. In addition to the political struggles over this province after 1945, it is important to shed light on the public behavior of the Serbian intelligentsia during this period, especially after 1980. A patriotic wing was launched in 1986 when 212 prominent intellectuals signed a petition demanding the creation of a legal order in Kosovo. And in all the years that followed, the patriotic intelligentsia has not diminished. On the other hand, there are Serbian nationalist intellectuals who believe that Kosovo does not belong to Serbia or should not remain in Serbia. The spectrum of anti-Kosovo attitudes ranges from falsification of historical facts to negative assessments of the Serbian nation. The article explores the question of why a part of Serbian intellectuals and politicians are willing to renounce Kosovo and Metohija. The author critically questions the claim that this is a new reality in Kosovo and Metohija. |
