The position of the Serbs in Kosovo, the government's attitude towards them, the people's attitude towards such a life are depicted in the song "Silence" by the rapper Londan Londanese. He told Radio Goraždevac that the government in Belgrade is responsible, but that in the song he also talks about the responsibility of the people
"I will tell you a lot of things."
This is not popular.
Kurti is not our wound.
"But your silence is constant"
These are the lyrics of the song "Silence". Rapper Londan Londaneze (Danilo Đurić from Osojan) painted through lyrics and sharp criticism the position of Serbs in Kosovo.
He is in an interview for Radio Goraždevac said that young people from Kosovo should emulate those who fight for their rights and not allow others to shape their opinion.
Regarding the lines at the beginning of this text, he says that although the song was not written "yesterday", it seems as if it was because it refers to everything that is happening now.
"Beograd is responsible, but in the song I am talking about our responsibility - the people who live here." We elected political representatives once, saw where it went, and continued to elect them."
"Serbs don't rejoice, move for freedom"
The rapper indicated in the interview that his goal was to appeal to ordinary people, especially the younger generations.
"We have been witnessing the situation in Kosovo for years - we are constantly facing Belgrade, while Belgrade is obviously not facing us. Although I think we should be directed towards Belgrade, if it is constantly working against our interests, we have to ask ourselves where all this is going."
He added that it had become tiresome to constantly hear how they were blackmailed and powerless.
"If we keep going lower and lower, at some point we will disappear." There must come a moment when we say - enough, we can't do it like this anymore."
He said that people in Kosovo are too passive, but that the protests in central Serbia somehow moved them too.
"We saw that students in Mitrovica and Zubin Potok started organizing meetings and commemorations for the victims. That gave me a glimmer of hope that something can change after all", Londanese concluded.
