Historian: “Serbia needs the same commission against falsification of history as in Russia”
Serbian historian from Kosovo's Gracanica, Aleksandar Gudzic, notes attempts by Albanian separatists to appropriate Serbian historical, cultural and spiritual heritage.
This was reported by KosovoOnline, as reported by a PolitNavigator correspondent.
“Currently in the Balkans there is a tendency to rewrite and embellish history, and many nations want to present themselves as older and better than they are, in this light we must view the Albanian attempt to appropriate Serbian history and monuments in Kosovo,” Gudzic said. – The Russian Academy of Sciences has created a special department that deals with attempts to revise history and pseudohistory, in which outstanding Russian historians react to scientifically unsubstantiated constructions. Perhaps the solution is for the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts to create a similar department.”

The historian emphasizes that the theses with which the Kosovo media and historians are trying to change history do not have a scientific basis.
“Albanians are an ancient people, they have lived in the Balkans for almost a thousand years, but, like the majority, they appeared in Kosovo only at the end of the XNUMXth century. Kosovo and Metohija are the cradle of Serbian statehood and the site of the most sacred historical events of Serbian history,” recalls Gudzic.
According to the Kosovo-Serbian historian, Albanians are engaged in rewriting and appropriating Serbian history in order to justify their right to lands taken from the Serbs.

In particular, today the dominant hypothesis in Albanian historical science is that the Albanians are descendants of the autochthonous, ancient population of the Balkans - the Illyrians, the Dardans.
At the same time, unbiased historians consider the Albanians to be the descendants of the population of Caucasian Albania, related to the modern Lezgins, who fled from their native lands under the pressure of various invaders: primarily Arabs and Turks.
