Vidovdan, a day that should be about remembrance and respect, has been turned into a dirty political game and brutal manipulation. While some believe in myths about Kosovo and the flat earth, political leaders use this day to send messages of power and control the masses. This year on Vidovdan, Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić awarded political leaders from Montenegro, right as students in Belgrade protested against his regime. Is this a message to the students that their rebellion is pointless? Meanwhile, the Serbian List in Kosovo condemns the arrests of Serbs who wore Serbian flags and symbols on Vidovdan, including a 12-year-old girl who was questioned by Kosovo police. Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti accuses Serbia of planning incidents on Vidovdan, while Serbs in Kosovo struggle for their rights under pressure and threats. This situation shows how Vidovdan has become a symbol of conflict rather than unity, and how history is used as a tool for political agendas. Serbia needs to face reality and stop using myths as an excuse for misunderstandings and conflicts. If this continues, the consequences for the region and Serbia’s European path will be catastrophic. What do you think — is Vidovdan still a day of remembrance or just a political stage for manipulation? Drop a comment, let’s see who’s for the myth and who’s for reality!
