The book \u201cCritique of Political Mind\u201d by the first Croatian ambassador to Kosovo, Zlatko Kramari\u0107, was recently promoted in Pristina. The book offers a deep analysis of political and cultural events in Croatia and the wider region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Kosovo and MP from the Democratic Party of Kosovo, Enver Hoxhaj, emphasized the book\u2019s unique value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“I honor the contribution that Croatia has made in relation to Kosovo. We, as Albanians from Kosovo, must properly understand the support Croatian politics has provided. The book’s central theme is not only critique, but also identity politics. The ambassador focuses on identity politics within Yugoslavia. The value of this book lies in its relevance today\u2014many thought identity politics ended with the war and the achievement of independence, but now we see a global return of such issues. The book also deals with the problem of the return of history, especially Serbia\u2019s efforts to define its fate outside its own borders,”\u00a0<\/em>said Hoxhaj.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bekim Baliqi, professor of philosophy at the University of Pristina, added that the author approaches politics from a different and insightful angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “It was a pleasure to read a book that<\/em> approaches politics from a different perspective. What the author examines are the political relations and historical processes between the communist and post-communist periods, and how they have impacted former Yugoslavia. In the Balkan context, Kramari\u0107 analyzes European tensions and historical traumas. The book argues that Croatian society still has not fully confronted its past,”<\/em> said Baliqi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In his remarks, Zlatko Kramari\u0107 said that Kosovo occupies a special place in his personal and professional life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n “Pristina, or rather Kosovo, has a very special place in my life. It was here that I began to engage in real diplomacy. That\u2019s how I had envisioned myself\u2014I had been a mayor, a party member, a parliamentarian, and then turned to diplomacy. It was here in Kosovo that I truly started to learn that diplomacy is not just protocol, but something much deeper\u2014especially in the years 2008, 2009, and 2010, when I was here,” <\/em>said Kramari\u0107.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Zlatko Kramari\u0107 is a well-known academic and political figure from Croatia, with long-standing diplomatic experience, including as the first Croatian ambassador to Kosovo. He is the author of several important publications and recipient of the prestigious \u201cZvane Crnja\u201d award for his work “<\/em>The Croatian Class”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The book \u201cCritique of Political Mind\u201d by the first Croatian ambassador to Kosovo, Zlatko Kramari\u0107, was recently promoted in Pristina.
