Just to recall, Handke is accused of endorsing Slobodan Milosevic and his politics.
The protests, which will take place around 6 pm in downtown Stockholm, will also be attended by the mothers of Srebrenica and Zepa, as well as the representatives of the Genocide Victims' Association.
Several countries, including Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Croatia, have announced that their representatives will not attend the awards ceremony.
According to TV N1 BiH, American CNN journalist Christiane Amanpour, known for her anti-Serbian rhetoric during the coverage of the war in BiH, tweeted on Twitter: "I was there. We all know who's guilty".
Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations Samantha Power, who also reported for the US media during the BiH war, wrote on Twitter ahead of tomorrow's awards ceremony: "On 7/14/95, I filed a @BostonGlobe story from Sarajevo containing initial reports of massacres in Srebrenica. The world would soon learn the extent of the genocide being committed by Bosnian Serb soldiers, who murdered 8,000 Muslim men & boys. Undeniable fact", Power concluded.
What Handke has to say?
On the other hand, Peter Handke, the laureate of the Nobel Literature Prize for 2019, said that he was surprised by the campaign against him over the Nobel Literature Prize, adding that his idea was to reconcile views.
“I would like to meet a mother from each side. A mother from Kravica (a Serb village in eastern Bosnia which was the site of a massacre carried out by Moslem forces) where all the massacres started and a mother from the Srebrenica area. That was my idea, but I think it was slightly naïve. I think it can’t be realized at this moment”, Handke said on Monday for the Republika Srpska state TV (RTRS).
Asked about the moment of him getting the award, implying that the award was two decades late, according to colleagues and acquaintances, he estimated that the Nobel came at the right time. "I don't know why, but I feel now is a good time to get it", Handke said.
Count of Kosovo........are you so full of hate that you ignore crimes against Serbs? I have said countless times that Serbs in jails probably deserve to be there. My questions to you are as follows......
The Srebrenica incident was a direct result of Nesar Oric's murder of thousands of Serbian civilians in villages surrounding Srebrenica. Why do you ignore the crimes of Oric? The Sarajevo market place massacre was staged to blame Serbs. It's a proven fact. Any comments from you? Croats expelled up to 300k Serbs in '95, and nobody serving time in jail for that..... can you explain how this is possible? Croats murdered up to 1 million civilians in WW2. That is the biggest genocide ever in Balkans history. What's your view on that? Racak was a lie (read the Finnish expert team who were there first on the scene. You can read the full report on line). That's why The Hague has never wanted to prosecute anyone, because the evidence is there. Can you shed light on the "poisoned ballot boxes". That's another lie. And the story just disappeared, right...? Please address the above points..

The Count of Kosova
You live in la la land boy. You need to get a reality check. Your government is filled with criminals hiding behind powerful people who are by the way out of power. Your Kosovo government is so in love with money that your officials would stoop so low to organ trafficking and other unimaginable crimes. Perhaps you should apologize to your own loved ones for your stupidity :-)
By the way, nobody is denying Srebrenica here. If you spent more time studying instead of making pizzas or roofing or whatever type of lowly job you are capable of getting, you would be able to comprehend what I wrote.

Raisin Scone,
Perhaps, instead of denying the massacre of over 8,000 Muslim boys and men, you should apologize to all mothers of genocide victims for perpetuating hate and encouraging a possible repeat of similar events.
(The Count of Kosova, 11 December 2019 04:08)
Maybe instead of protesting, Croatian protesters can apologize for the removal of over 250 thousand Serbs from Krajina and the murder of hundreds of thousands of Serbs, Roma, and Jews in Jasenovac. Maybe the Bosnian Muslim mothers can apologize for the mass murders of Serbs in Bosnia for which the murderers never had to pay. Maybe instead of attending, the Kosovo Albanian government can apologize for the murder of Serbs and the forced removal of Serbs from Kosovo. Once these individuals apologize for the crimes of their governments and military and stop blaming all Serbs for the crimes of some military and militia, we can have a resolution of all issues and peace will reign. Until then, nothing will be gained from this or other protests.
