“Kosovo will not participate in the Nobel ceremony in Stockholm this year.

The post has been shared further on Facebook by the Kosovo Embassy in Sweden.

The Literature Prize has encountered criticism

All foreign ambassadors stationed in Sweden are invited to the Nobel Prize ceremony at the Concert Hall in Stockholm, according to the Nobel Foundation's routines.

The Swedish Academy's decision to award the Austrian author Peter Handke this year's Nobel Prize in literature has faced sharp criticism in many places, due to Handke's position on the wars in former Yugoslavia. He has been condemned by a long line of writers, journalists and the American and Swedish Pen.

The debate is based on "misinterpretations"

But there are also those who believe that the debate is based on inaccuracies and questions of interpretation without simple answers.

When Handke himself addressed questions about the controversies at a press conference in Stockholm this week, he was quick to dismiss them.

"It's a very complicated question, which would take a long time to answer, I don't think this is the right forum for that," he said of his views on why opinions are so polarized.

SVT has sought a comment from the Kosovo Embassy, ​​the Embassy of Albania and the Nobel Foundation.
