Writes: Idriz Morina
A small place, but where dramatic, embarrassing and almost tragic events take place. But, through the coverage of these local events, the author manages to exercise the professional competence of a reporter, and very often also of an analyst, and not only of a chronicler, accurate and concise, offering readers not only the personal, random events of a close family and a neighborhood, or a village or suburban city, but manages to give the most accurate image of the fate of a nation!
The diary, therefore, turns into a national chronicle, where all the main political events in the country are recorded, movements, protests, security and defense organizations, bloodshed reconciliations, diplomacy of Kosovo and for Kosovo, up to the accurately preserved statements, and short reports on the main meetings of our leaders, namely President Rugova, the visits he made to the democratic world. In addition to the positions, the key historical events of the organization of the Parallel State, such as the organization of the Referendum for Independence and up to the organization of the national - presidential and parliamentary elections of '92, their results and echoes, are also meticulously recorded. Also at the core of this chronicle, is the Serbian and Yugoslav violence and crimes against Albanians, ongoing!
The dramatic developments in the Kamenica school, which had been dominated until then not only by the communist spirit, and a kind of brotherhood-unity, but also a pro-Serbian spirit, nourished by the strength of the power dominated by Serbs and philoserbs, were being shaken by a new generation of intellectuals, who did not hesitate to take on the task of permanently changing a course of almost a century, of freeing Albanians from Serbian fear. Fearlessly confronting them and their power, despite the risk of imprisonment, beatings or even brutal murder.
As far as can be said, they had already created a district, the District of Albanian Intellectuals of Kamenica, never officially declared, but they breathed so strongly that they destroyed not only the spirit of brotherhood-unity, but also the obedience of Albanians to Serbs in political and public institutions, above all in the "9 May" Gymnasium in Kamenica, naming it after the hero of the Independence of Albania in 1912, Ismail Qemali.
Some of them will later be presented with various scholarly, literary and journalistic books, such as: Nexhat Rexha, Shaban Berisha, Sylejman Morina, etc.
Also, being a daily diary - a chronicle of events in personal life, and in the country, one can find a register of data about the way of life, which was still dominant - it was in the community, about the rites of death and weddings, about the solidarity that existed, about human and national appreciation, etc.
A diary that can be very useful, even for researchers of history and politics, to find the right time for their research.
