“Kosovo will not attend the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm this year. I confirm that our Ambassador Mrs. Shkendije-Geci-Sheriff will boycott the event, due to controversial Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, a friend and supporter of Milosevic's policy. I also expect the Ambassador of Albania to act in a similar way”, Pacolli wrote.
