| Shaip Kamberi and the Albanian flag on his right |
Shaip Kamberi, an Albanian member of Serbia's parliament, claims that the social media platform "Facebook" has threatened to kill him, local media say.
According to the lone Albanian representative in Serbia's parliament, Albanians in Serbia work and live in this atmosphere.
Shaip Kmaberi has spoken out loudly in defense of Albanian rights in the Serbian Parliament, and he has also displayed the red and black flag on occasion during plenary sessions there.
The accusation leveled against the Albanian MP in Serbia:
Serbia has been attempting to create a virtual reality of the alleged danger to Serbs' lives in Kosovo for months. In the meantime, the numerous instances of discrimination demonstrate how perilous Albanians' freedom and quality of life in Serbia are.
One example of this is Ragmi Mustafi's conviction for using the Albanian national flag on November 28, 2013, which occurred just a few days ago.
In the meantime, I received direct threats to my life from an unknown individual today via Facebook.
"Enough with the kidnappings; as for you, whenever you go somewhere, always watch your back. "You will never know when I will come for your head" is the message Danijell Millkovic sent me via messenger.
In the authoritarian Serbia of Aleksandar Vucic, this is the atmosphere in which Albanians work, behave, and live. Pro-government media and the frequent insulting statements made by Serbian governors have fueled this anti-Albanian climate for years. This prejudicial and compromising climate is the primary justification for our solicitation for an even answer for the freedoms of the networks.
No matter what kind of hypothetical or actual threats may arise, our work will not cease. Despite the opposition of others, we will tell the truth.
