Yesterday’s establishment of the National Council of the Serbian People in Belgrade by the All-Serbian Council represents the officialization of the platform of Serbian hegemonism known from Garašanin’s “Načertanja” as well as the three memoranda of Serbian academics from Čubrilović to Ćosić. With this platform, Serbia declares political and cultural war on the state of Kosovo.

Yesterday in Belgrade, as expected, the All-Serbian Assembly was held, consisting of the highest representatives of the Serbian state, of the Serbian Republic in Bosnia and Herzegovina, of members of the Serbian Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Serbian Orthodox Church and representatives of Serbian associations from the diaspora.

The folkloric-clerical atmosphere during the assembly and the proceedings were reminiscent of the late 1980s, when Milosevic, through the so-called “yogurt-revolution”, overthrew the governments of Vojvodina and Montenegro in an unconstitutional coup, to continue with the violent destruction of Kosovo’s autonomy, from where he took over the political and state leadership of Serbia and Yugoslavia, which began the bloody process of the dissolution of the Yugoslav federation with tragic consequences (with genocides in Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo).

A quarter of a century after the military defeat from two NATO interventions (in 1995 in Croatia and 1999 in Kosovo), which resulted from Milošević’s warmongering policy, who ended up in the Hague for crimes against humanity, as well as the creation of new political realities in the areas of the former Yugoslavia – the independent states: Slovenia, Croatia, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and finally Kosovo, it is emerging that the state of Serbia, emboldened by the Russian aggression in Ukraine and the consequences it will have for regional geopolitics, with the slogan of the “Serbian world”, is returning to the platform of “Načertanja” for the creation of Greater Serbia, with a focus on Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo, but where Montenegro and Macedonia are not excluded either.

Based on the conclusions approved in yesterday’s All-Serbian Assembly, out of 47 points, eleven of them, with political and cultural nuances, refer to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Kosovo. Unlike Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is formally accepted in accordance with the Dayton Agreements, but as an independent entity from an institutional and cultural point of view always linked to Serbia, Kosovo is seen as an inseparable part of Serbia.

Point 11 states: “The All-Serbian Assembly establishes that Kosovo and Metohija is an inseparable part of the Republic of Serbia, a central part of the Serbian national identity, a Serbian spiritual foundation in the spirit of Saint Sava. The All-Serbian Assembly insists on the use of the name of the southern Serbian province: Kosovo and Metohija, which Albanian secessionists ignore”.

In the following three points, Serbia’s “spiritual, ethnic and state ownership” in Kosovo is based on “historical foundations” and especially on church foundations, where it is emphasized that the Orthodox Church has had autocephaly since the Middle Ages. In this case, it is said that the cult objects in Kosovo (monasteries) are cultural assets and identity of the Serbian state that must be protected by all means.

The holding of this assembly, as well as the messages coming from it, clearly show that Serbia is on an unstoppable path to institutionalizing Serbian clerico-fascist hegemonism, even in circumstances when the international factor is trying to use the new state realities in the former Yugoslavia to make them part of European and North Atlantic integrations.

The messages from Belgrade, especially those related to the so-called “Serbian cultural and spiritual identity”, must be taken seriously, considering that with Ahtisaari’s documents, the Serbian Orthodox Church has been given the titles of Orthodox Christianity, which will give the Serbian clerico-fascist hegemonism a constant “alibi” for intervention in the name of protecting “historical titles”.
