“A man who holds on to tradition is not a slave to the past, but a guardian of the future. He understands that every true revolution is, in fact, a return to the roots and a rediscovery of lost meaning.” The words of Julius Evola are a warning, especially today when many value-based principles are being questioned and forcibly changed.
Although it should be the first month of summer, some newly-coined nations have decided to rename it to “Pride Month” or more precisely, the parade of debauchery. However, despite the fact that for more than two decades Serbia has been undergoing a process of indoctrination generously funded and supported by the West, the Serbs have proven to be a resilient sort, unwilling to compromise. If it weren’t for the news from the region and our southern province, currently occupied, we wouldn’t even know what is being celebrated in the world.
The truth is, it’s not easy to manipulate old nations like the Serbian one, unlike new nations, no matter how conservative and primitive they may seem, such as the Albanians in Kosovo and Metohija, or those who have adopted modern civilizational norms, like the Croats. Therefore, it is not surprising that they easily adopt Western trends, no matter how detrimental they are to their society.
TERRORISM IN RAINBOW COLORS
In Kosovo and Metohija, Pride Month was marked by a gay parade in Pristina. Leading this event, named “T’DU KASHTU KUSH JE” – “I Love You As You Are,” was Albin Kurti, leader of the Albanian separatists and self-proclaimed president of the non-existent state of Kosovo.
The parade in Pristina passed without incidents and special police security, as if it were part of this people’s tradition, and not something that, just a few decades or even years ago, would have caused outrage in this inherently conservative community. How is it possible that in such a short period, a people characterized by tribal nature could accept all the vices of the liberal world?
Analyst Igor Jaramaz, who has long studied social and sociological phenomena in the Balkans, notes that some societies skip development phases and adopt the worst aspects of modern culture while retaining the negative traditions of the past.
“Today’s social modernization follows a dynamic similar to technological advancement. For instance, African societies, without landlines, electricity, and banking, skip several steps and immediately switch to internet payments via mobile phones. More primitive societies skip several steps. Albanians benefit from a lack of developed cultural patterns and excessive Occidentophilia. Therefore, they have adopted the worst vices of the modern world while retaining the worst traditions of the past,” Jaramaz notes.
The process of re-education has proven to be most susceptible among young nations like the Albanians of Kosovo and Metohija, Croats, as well as the so-called Bosniaks and Montenegrins. Created thanks to the collective West, they were imposed with an inferior position that included uncritical acceptance of all patterns, no matter how destructive and harmful they were to the entire nation. A significant role in this process has been played by numerous NGOs, which are nothing more than branches of foreign services disguised as the civilian sector.
NGOs – THE CIVIL SECTOR OF FOREIGN SERVICES
In the area of Kosovo and Metohija, especially in the southern part of our occupied province, according to the BTI (Bertelsmann Transformation Index) website, which analyzes and assesses political and economic transformation in developing and transitional countries, there are an incredible 13,000 non-governmental organizations operating. The most active NGOs in Kosovo, receiving the most financial resources, include Kosovo Women’s Network (KWN), Balkan Sunflowers, Youth Initiative for Human Rights (YIHR), Forum for Civic Initiatives (FIQ), NGO Aktiv, Democracy for Development (D4D), Kosovar Civil Society Foundation (KCSF), Community Building Mitrovica (CBM), Advancing Together, and Caritas Kosovo. All of them are ostensibly working on the promotion of human rights, gender equality, integration of marginalized groups, and the improvement of civil society.
In the so-called Kosovo area, there are currently 91 NGOs registered in the United Kingdom through which £72 billion has been invested in Kosovo and Metohija. However, unlike other transitional countries, NGOs in Kosovo and Metohija have supervisors—a large number of foreign mentors who oversee the work of the organizations. Only NGOs in Bosnia and Herzegovina have a similar structure.
J. S., who worked for a while in the NGO Kosovo Women’s Network in Pristina, reveals to our portal that employees were constantly under the supervision of mentors who first conducted training and then controlled the employees’ work. The same is true for most NGOs operating in this area. Our interlocutor says they were directed to cooperate with NGOs from Belgrade and the region, which were organized differently, such as the NGO “Reconstruction Women’s Fund,” which operated autonomously, without supervisors. This “difference” was precisely the condition for the changes that followed in Kosovo society.
Igor Jaramaz does not share the opinion that the indoctrination of the local population is so much connected to NGOs as it is, he believes, to fertile ground, which, despite closed communities, could not long resist the progress of time.
“I don’t think it has much to do with NGOs or programs of international organizations (primarily the UN and its agencies) as much as it does with fertile ground for the reception of these ideas. Because they are exposed, proportionally by size. Such ideas are much more and quickly accepted by them than by us, which I noticed not only in Kosovo and Metohija but also in Albania itself.”
Acknowledging the remarks about “fertile ground,” our interlocutor from Kosovo and Metohija, a former member of an NGO, does not diminish the importance of the work of the Western sector. For her, the result was in line with the financiers’ expectations.
“We spent a large part of our time in the field, visiting the most remote and closed communities. A lot of money goes through this NGO sector, but that money, at least while I was employed, didn’t go towards printing some pamphlets that had no other purpose than to cover fictitious expenses. We conducted training with all age groups. Our associates, in this case, specifically from Norway, were highly profiled experts in the fields of psychology, sociology, and they performed their tasks very professionally.”
J. S. also adds that it is a public secret how much influence NGOs have on the development of the school curriculum in the south of Kosovo and Metohija, as well as the fact that, apart from creating a liberal atmosphere in society, there is no lack of encouraging chauvinistic attitudes towards Serbs, which has intensified compared to the situation before the war.
The observation at the beginning of the analysis that NGOs are a serious and dangerous civil sector of foreign services corresponds entirely with the insights provided by a person from the very heart of these organizations. The interests of Norway, the USA, the United Kingdom, or Poland are nowhere as closely intertwined as in this piece of Serbian land.
POPULATION EXODUS
The number of inhabitants in the north of Kosovo and Metohija has been declining over the past decades, particularly in the last ten years. According to our interlocutors, NGOs have certainly contributed to this to some extent, but the struggle for a better life has played a major role. “The emigration of young reproductive population to their Western allies has undoubtedly contributed to the population decrease,” says Jaramaz, adding that the media imposition of trends in forming public opinion has largely contributed to the change in role models:
“Of course, the mere fact that young Albanians today have role models in Dua Lipa, Rita Ora, Bebe Rexha, Ava Max, and similar women who, in their 30s, don’t have any children, has certainly contributed to the decline in birth rates. Their mothers and even older sisters had multiple children at that age. Statistics and knowledge of social trends indicate that there will be even greater depopulation and a decline in fertility among Albanian women in the near future.”
Western media, often influenced by powerful corporations and political interests, strive to impose their values and standards, crossing national sovereignty and cultural specificity boundaries. Through movies, TV shows, newspaper articles, and social networks, narratives are created that portray traditional communities as intolerant and not rooted in the modern world. This kind of media labeling aims to undermine the confidence and unity within these communities, creating a climate in which accepting liberal values becomes an inevitable step towards “civilizational progress.” However, this approach ignores the deep cultural and historical roots that shape the identity of these communities, which can lead to serious social and psychological consequences.
That is why the Albanian society in Kosovo and Metohija, as a primitive tribal community, served as clay in the hands of global forces, which mold it as they wish, creating its history, culture, and future. But when the child grows up, will it stay in the mother’s lap, especially if it is clear that somewhere out there is a life that is much better and fits all those entrenched postulates according to which it was raised? J. S. also agrees that the population exodus is increasing and that both the media and NGOs have influenced this because what they promised these generations, they couldn’t practically deliver.
“Kosovo and Metohija is still a zone of potential conflict, especially now. And those who allegedly try to calm the situation are doing the opposite. Many people realize this from both the Serbian and Albanian sides and leave with this awareness. A stable situation suits no one here.”
Jaramaz shows more optimism. He believes that we should all support the work of the NGO sector in the AP Kosovo and Metohija because the effect on Serbs and the Albanian community is not the same.
“LGBT+ is certainly an integral part of it, and I think it is in the Serbian national interest to increase the exposure of traditional Albanians to all modern substitutes for values.”
In other words, while the Albanian population migrates “en masse” in search of a better life, not only in a material sense but also in search of greater freedoms, including sexual and all other freedoms taught by the Western NGO school, Serbs leave because they are forced to. These circumstances show that while the world around us changes and adapts to modern trends, the Serbian people still remain tied to their roots and tradition. True values cannot be easily shaken, and therein lies our true revolution – returning to the roots and finding the lost meaning, as Evola wisely taught us.
