...even Ras (the ruin of not some looks)) is added to UNESCO heritage site, wow. Well I know a lot about all things and city and its importance (whose glory reached even Dante)) but really must admit I didn't know that it per se is also WH site, protected by (quasi) whole humanity ...or i forgot, or neglected that detail. So yes great detail and "honour" really hats of to that to the world for once, for us medieval history lovers it trully is great honor, again... give it importance and that our med history was not "in vain" not unheard of.
but really want to - regarding "Albanian bad luck" to say so, even if today maybe me are even in worse position, not talking about economy at all but in a sense that they are here long and we only temporar migrants but with so many UNESCO sites and already for decades and they have none ; but really for some historical correctness... simply people having some knowledge or skill should do soem positive things sometimes and de-escalate but staying realistic... so - if we disregard theory about Preljub's origin which i don't base only on name but that he often commanded Albanians and maybe knew language - really history must not be "too hateful"... so few lines reader to understand how "positive story" about one Albanian was... in short - in times when everybody "disliked" (some envied because he was "richest man of Europe" by French De Brokijer Đurađ aka George Branković, our last glorious ruler of not royal nor imperial shine (just despot) and when even some proto-Montenegro tribes saw their chance to rebel against him (plastic description of situation enough) one Albanian (even catholic) nobleman, Ragusa (Dubrovnik) and partly Venice were only ready to help him and give some support... "Sapienti sat" as we Thracians who formed Rome via Serbius Tullius say, and really without humor of who helped him... so don't buy ever that "all Albanians were always against Serbs or similar" this is great story... Not only that that particular Albanian (Špani/Span) rode in his entourage giving him extra protection while he fled ftom Turks, but he also organised some guerillas and served as George's contact with army crew of besieged Novo Brdo... think such stories are worth telling and honorable, so i insisited... of course our churches/castles are ours and Albanians know that Kosovo is Serb word they accepted, but it has nothing to do with politics it is important story not to be biased and think it is powerful story (plus maybe, just maybe Preljub whome Dušan trusted very much and thought highly about him... simply he knew Albanian which very few Serbs knew so suscpicion)
