“Language is the sustainer of a nation,” wrote Vuk Stefanovic Karadzic, pointing out that as long as a people have their language, they live, remember, and endure. Perhaps more than ever, this thought illustrates the position of the Serbian people in Kosovo, which has once again been shaken by a call from caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti for journalists from Serbian newsrooms to ask questions in Albanian as well. Prominent journalists from Kosovo and central Serbia warn that such messages not only jeopardize the work and safety of the media, but also represent the culmination of decades-long discrimination against the Serbian language within Pristina’s institutions, calling into question what, in Karadzic’s words, constitutes the very core of a nation’s survival.
