Aco, Šiptare!
yoo420blazeit@reddit
it's amazing how the term "Siptar" still goes strong after all these years. normalized even by politicians (mostly in Serbia), media, society etc. no matter that's its a pejorative/racist term towards Albanians, I still see it almost daily even in this subreddit. truly, Albanians from Kosovo were the most discriminated people in all of Yugoslavia.
podivljali_vepar@reddit
Can you tell me why “Šiptar” are so offensive to you? I mean, Croats call us “Četniks” if they want to “offend” us, but here people don’t care. Also we call them “Ustaše” if we want to offend them, but stil, they dont offend that much. All Balkan people have some slur words for other people, but it seems that only Albanians are getting really uspet and play on racist card (like Black people and migrants in west)
No offend, just curious
Magistar_Idrisi@reddit
I mean if a Croat calls you "Četnik", it was clearly intended as an insult. And people would get understandably upset.
But many Serbs tend to be oblivious to how insulting it is to call Albanians "Šiptar". It just seems to be completely mainstream in Serbia.
bleta_punetore@reddit
Maybe me is not the right person to answer since I'm from R. Of Albania, so we didn't really feel this slur, sth we learned later on. I've heard in one occasion in Serbia, when a guy from Uzice, told me he went to the south of Albania and surprisingly had a very good time, albeit everyone had suggested him not to go, and the be continued that their problem was with Siptars not Albanians, sth ppl in Serbia like to do, making a difference between Albanians from Kosovo and from Albania proper. Thing is there's only regional difference like every where else in the world.
Now to answer your question, I wouldn't feel offended, and I know a lot of Albanians from Kosovo that couldn't care less of the term, the only problem it's because sometimes is used to insult, so it's like a declaration " I'm insulting you", but the original term has a real meaning for us, the root means "to spell", basically people that spell the common tongue, so as to recognize each other from the rest of the people living around us, regardless of religious affiliation.
When we call the Serbs shkije, it is used as a slur, but also it has real proper meaning, unrelated to offensive language. It means "people coming from Scythia", so basically "non native" to the area.
srberikanac@reddit
Having traveled through both - in terms of how a Serbian visitor is treated, but also how Christian population in general is treated there - it is a HUGE difference between Albanians from Kosovo and those from Albania.
Eastern_cold999@reddit
Really man? In Kosovo they didnt like your serbian flag? Who knows why, nothing happened there in the 90s. As for serbian plates you see them every day in kosovo and nothing happens.You must be' the typical american pretending to be' serbian because 150 years ago had a serbian granpa. As for Christian population if you were really serbian you would know it has nothing to do with how people are percived.
srberikanac@reddit
What flag??
Eastern_cold999@reddit
I said flag to mean you as a serbian visitor
srberikanac@reddit
It's been almost 30 years...
Eastern_cold999@reddit
I dont think is right, my gf is serbian from Beograd and i dont have problems with serbs but you have to be' real, ur government and political class has fanned the flames at least since 2010, so i dont think you should just expect that everybody has forgot, especially poeple who had family killed and are still alive obviusly.
srberikanac@reddit
Yeah, I'm not at all dillusional that Vucic and the Serbian government aren't actively making the matters worse. It still doesn't make it right or excuse it, and I'd say, it takes two to tango (meaning Kurti).

srberikanac@reddit
There were a few different towns we had issues in, but by far the most dangerous situation was around Prizren (even in Shadërvan area we had insults, but by far the worst event took place in a village we stopped in immediatley southwest of there, not sure what it was called).
podivljali_vepar@reddit
Yeah alot of people in Serbia are like Albanians from Albania are Albanians, but from Kosovo and Macedonia are Šiptars
DekadentniTehnolog@reddit
Slavs have the same name origin. Slovo is a letter so all people that speak the same language are called Sloveni. Others that dont speak are called nijemci or mute in english. Closest tribes to slavs were germanic so to this day Germans are called Nijemci. Except in Macedonia I think.
35BCx1405AD@reddit
You guys have already had a word for us “Albanac”
You then heard us call each other “Shqiptar”
You then decided to mock the word and us in general us calling us “Šiptar”
And now with the student protests, it is clear that being anti-Albanian is so ingrained in your cultural genetics that you guys can’t even tell anymore.
And now you try to make some sort of distinction that you only use it for Kosovar Albanians. because they are trouble making thieves. Effectively calling all other Albanians, the good Albanians, who have never rebelled against Yugoslav genocide. In fact, it’s Kosovo’s fault that the war happened in the first place.
fucking pathetic.
podivljali_vepar@reddit
Hmm, but you also have word “Shkije” that you use widely, but tbh, I am not upset at all.
Ofc, both “Šiptar” and “Shkije” have negative connotations, but I don’t care that Albanians call me “Shkije”
35BCx1405AD@reddit
No we don’t liar.
Fucking bullshit lies from you and your people at this point.
You’re fucking intellectual base and your academics and your journalists and your student protest use that word like it’s free candy.
You find me one and I mean, one journalist or one fucking college professor or fucking one public figure to go ahead and start slander rising Serbs.
Make yourself feel less guilty, because “we both do it”.
Fuck out of here.
dubufeetfak@reddit
I can call you 'polter' offensively and you'd understand I'm saying that to offend you. While that word has no meaning at all, used enough time it would get a negative reaction out of you.
podivljali_vepar@reddit
Hmm, but you also have word “Shkije” that you use widely, but tbh, I am not upset at all.

Not only that. I had stupid argument the other day how Švabe name for germans would also be pejorative but it isnt. I just love your username
-Passenger-@reddit
What!?
How can it be pejorative when Schwaben is a group of people living in Baden Württemberg/Bayern and the Germans who lived in our Region were called Donauschwaben. Its basically a loanword we use to describe the ethnic Germans....
DekadentniTehnolog@reddit
That's my point. It is all part of the percepetion. Both terms are butchered by us. One is considered a slur and the other one is not.

Nicaya@reddit
Its not racist lol. It just sounds aggresive, and you know, it can be used as an insult because of that and other reasons (but toward others, why would an albanian be insulted if you clled him a siptar lol). Like idk why albanians have a relationship with that word like americans have with the n word lol. Like albania is literaly called shqiptare in its own language
drjnn@reddit
https://prishtinainsight.com/serbian-court-deems-siptar-as-offensive/ … well maybe not racist but offensive sure it is, so stop your bullshit rhetoric. I mean have some decency ffs, a guy coming from a chauvinist country with a history of crimes against humanity that would make the USA blush, telling guys coming from Kosova that they should not be offended, gtfo.
yoo420blazeit@reddit
Albanians simply didn't want to be referred by other Slavic people in Yugoslavia by that term, that should have been respected and set as a standard and was not much to ask. We also were the only non-Slav people in Yugoslavia, call us "Albanski" "Albanac" or whatever, but not something we didn't agree to.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shqiptar#Use_in_South_Slavic_languages
Nicaya@reddit
Like i said its literaly the n word argument. Obvoiusly If im talking to a normal human being and we are having a civil conversation, of course Im not going to use that word to refer to albanians. But, if we are fucking around or my intention is to insult you, yeah of course im gonna use that word no matter if you are an albanian or not, grow up.
If somebody using one word holds that much weight over you and makes you that insulted, well my friend, that is your own personal problem
dubufeetfak@reddit
The word has no power. But as you already acknowledged:
It is used as a slur. And when people are being offensive, playing dumb doesnt make it less offensive.
Hour-Eggplant1744@reddit
The idea of calling albanians šiptai was meant to make albanians feel welcome because in albanian the expression is similar something like šćiptar but yeah it backfired, but it's not just us who are calling you Šiptari, it's also croatian and bosnians, slovenians who call albanians šiptari. Anyways you call us serbs Škije so don't act like you are angels 😂
drjnn@reddit
https://prishtinainsight.com/serbian-court-deems-siptar-as-offensive/ yeah well your own court say otherwise …

you can't hear the term "Skije" in the media or politics in Kosova or Albania, that's not the case in Serbia.

SkibidiDopYes@reddit
His father is Fahri Musliu and he, V*, is the #1 Albanian son. He did everything in their favor. PS I'm not blaming any Albanians for this. V* is the worst thing that happened to Serbia right after Slobodan Milosevic.
Vivid_Barracuda_@reddit
That's why he collaborates with Adem Jashari's family black-hole nazis, and goes against others haha! LOL
Makes total sense btw; )
Either way from this worm to Милошевич?
Полако брате, немој сада да спомињаш ова пичка јебена са г-н Милошевич. Има ту разлику ко- ехехе, треба да знаш шта причаш бе друже, а гледам да не знаш ама ич.
AltinBs@reddit
So Millosevic was wrong, Vucic was wrong. Looks like Serbian people are picking and choosing the wrong people. Maybe that is what they want. It’s always easy to blame the ones on top.
SkibidiDopYes@reddit
We have a very retarded and politically uneducated population that has the memory of a gold fish. We are doomed if people over 45 vote, and they will. People seem to forget that Milosevic was a radical and wannabe dictator but was a wimp. 10 years later V* opens hes own political party which is "pro european" and wants a better future for us all. The thing is he is a disguised radical but the people here were retarded and fogot that + Tadic and the Democratic Party stole state funds and sold all the public firms and got us in debt (which is 10x smaller then the one we have now). V promised to fight for Kosovo, fight poverty, bring us to a level blablabla... well itd 2025, we are still in the 10 poorest countries in Europe, no where near the EU, to much far up Saudis, Chinas and Russias ass and he made billions by lying. He is getting exposed as a huge wannbe dictstor as well. The difference is V*** refined Milosevics mistakes and we cannot overthrow him as easy as we did with Milosevic. The police, aka the dogs and pigs, are on his side with the best equipment if I may say on the continent + he has a buffer zone set up in front of the Parliament building. We cannot storm in there and arrset him and overthrow the government without sever casualties. We are playing 4D chess with him.
AltinBs@reddit
Vucic promised to fight for Kosovo, following Milosevic footsteps, his tutors and you thought he was going to be different. I think you all know exactly who and what he was. A dictator promising to be an occupier.
SkibidiDopYes@reddit
Unfortunately, I was 12 when he became prime minister so I didn't give two shits about it then. People just didn't want the democrats anymore because they stole a lot and thought it couldn't be worse. Well...
IcyGromash@reddit

Chance-Struggle-6285@reddit
Serbs still fall for the nationalistic "we will defend Kosovo" shit. It's easy to gain votes like this but will these people actually do something for you? Like I get it's not easy to lose a province but what options do you really have? It's just too overwhelmingly Albanian that it was just a matter of time when these people will rebell. If Serbia continues to go in that direction politcally and I think it will continue to go this way, they will be surpassed by everyone except Kosovo.
SkibidiDopYes@reddit
Yeah, like I said, we have a very politically uneducated population that was brainwashed and brain damaged for 30+ years now with propaganda. We literally don't have a basic understanding of left/right, nationalist/centric whatever...People here only understand "I WILL BRING BACK KOSOVO", "I WILL MAKE US RICH" bla bla bla + most of the oldheads do not recognize the difference between NATO and EU. Both are very evil and want to destroy Serbia in their eyes. It's impossible to explain to them that joining the EU would benefit us way more than not joining. PS, I don't care about Kosovo, I think it would be beneficial to both parties just to go their separate ways and move on. The problem here is you have brainwashed kids (15-25 y.o.) that think "one day we will go back there". I don't know what fairytales they have been reading or what they have been smoking but that will never happen. Serbia is cooked if SNS stay after 2027. We need to get rid of them, jail them, whatever is need + install a new Parliament with NEW PEOPLE, NEW POLITICIANS and a NEW PARTY. We literally need a lustration to happen. No old parties, no SNS, nothing. Just new people. The student protest and organizers are working on forming this but we need elections and we need to win them.

Yes yes, everything going bad in Serbia let's blame it to Albanians. They are obviously Godsend and everything that interrupts their road towards their perfection are the sneaky Albanians that undermine their way. I thought that Serbian students would do better, but the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.

RebootAndPray@reddit
That is not evidence, but an opinion piece. This author who acuses the students of carrying nationalist ideology has completely missed the point of what is actually happening in the streets. I think the symbols they’ve used (Vidovdan, Prince Lazar etc) are not expressions of Greater Serbian aspirations or invocation of the 90s wars (when none of them were even born), but an attempt to reclaim our national identidy from the politicians who missused it and eventually emptied it of any meaning.
The students want to end the abuse and missuse of our national symbols, not to continue it.

Here is one such speech, but the linked thread has more:

vivaervis@reddit
I was one of the first supporters of the Serbian students, but when I saw that they wave the 'Kosovo is Serbia' flag and calling their biggest enemy atm an Albanian( using also the Š word which is derogatory) I find it hard to believe they really want change.
Used_Sea_8880@reddit
The change students are fighting for has nothing to do with Albanians or Kosovo. We have other problems in our country. Why would you expect Serbs to want to recognise Kosovo?
Tomorr3@reddit
And what do Serbs expect regarding the Kosova matter though? I don't quite understand how exactly it helps you maintaining the status quo...
goonsmith_48@reddit
IMO I would never integrate Kosovo into Serbia again, last thing Serbia needs is million Albanians and an extremely undeveloped region. But giving up on Kosovo would mean our heritage and people that still remain there getting erased. So keeping some pressure up would be the best.
Tomorr3@reddit
Basically recognize its independence in other words.
Bruh?! That's objectively not true.
What heritage in an "extremely undeveloped" region? You are contradicting yourself now.
How would your people get erased? And how is the status quo preventing that?
goonsmith_48@reddit
Underdeveloped in a economic, not cultural sense. Moldova has a bigger gdp. Serbia really doesnt need that + 1 million albanians, that is some country collapsing shit.
https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/724/ Its also on the endangered monument list, for a reason.
recognizing idependence would give full legitimacy to what Albanians are doing to Kosovo Serbs right now (placing Albanian mayors in Serb majority cities, police brutality, cultural erasure).
Tomorr3@reddit
It's indeed a developing nation, but definitely not extremely underdeveloped.
Because you don't recognize Kosova's independence yet, but not really an acute situation. Noone is seeking to destroy it.
Some of that happened precisely because your people decided to not be part of Kosova's democratic institutions. Don't blame it on us! The rest is just vucic propaganda and not true.
vivaervis@reddit
Im not saying you're protesting against us, but how's it possible we get included along the way 😅 idk Kosovo is a reality now for 17 years. Im not saying you should recognise it immediately but using the same rhetoric as the people in power doesn't sound like a call for change.
IcyGromash@reddit
Serbian people will never stop mentioning Kosovo, talking about it, feeling it..
Do you know when talking about Kosovo, doesnt mean talking about albanians...it means a lot more then 17 years you talk about, and trust me Serbs, and anyone who feels like a Serb, will always feel Kosovo more then you ever will...17 years...lol...thats a drop water in sea..
vivaervis@reddit
I mentioned 17 years of independence not when we started to feel something about Kosovo. Why would serbs feel more about Kosovo than the people who live in Kosovo and call it home? I don't think they want nothing to do with being part of any other country anytime soon. Leave them be and fix your own home, which is not doing great tbh.
IcyGromash@reddit
Well we are trying to clean our own shit..
goonsmith_48@reddit
Student protests aren't about recognizing Kosovo and getting good boy points from Albanians, they are about getting rid of corruption and totalitarian system thats destroying the Serbs since 1945
vivaervis@reddit
They want to get rid of the corruption by mentioning Albanians and Kosovo? Ok, got ya!
goonsmith_48@reddit
Believe me that we dont call Vučić "šiptar" randomly. Also he did more for idependent Kosovo than any Albanian since 1999, you guys should build him a 100 meter tall statue.
vivaervis@reddit
I find this picture funny but Musliu has been denying that he's Vucic father for years. Maybe when you finally catch Vucic, force him to do a DNA test. Also with or without Vucic, Kosovo's independence was inevitable after the 1999 war. I don't know what he could have done differently regarding that.
goonsmith_48@reddit
Not give Albanians everything they asked for? (serb institutions, police, various agreements). Also Albanians from Preševo and Bujanovac should be treated like Kosovo authorities are treating Serbs in the north, but for now they have more freedom than Serbs in Serbia. If Vučić was some scary Serb nationalist like Albanians think he is, this would never happen.
vivaervis@reddit
If you see the whole picture in our perspective we would say the same thing. The minority in Presheve and Bujanovc is not being treated equally. Kosovo is still under sanctions because of the situation in the North.
MNEAscaris@reddit
Don’t mind him, using a victim card again, as always 😂 calling v*cic albanian has nothing to do with albanians as a nation, rather than he and his government signing bunch of pro-Kosovo documents and giving 0 support to Serbs in Kosovo, basically selling it and its independence, while he talks on every television how we won every duel in UN/EU/etc and how every decision he made is a good one for Serbia.
vivaervis@reddit
Victim card? How about you don't mention the Albanians at all when it comes to your internal affairs. Also please don't use the Š word when you're referring to us. The serbian dictionary has already Albanac as a word. Use it!
Powerful-Patient-612@reddit
"Don't mention Albanians" 》 "Instead of using the š word, use the Albanac (a.k.a. Albanian) one" ... I'm confused
vivaervis@reddit
Š.. is a slur while Albanac is not? When referring to Albanians use the second one instead. Simple as that.
Powerful-Patient-612@reddit
I do understand that, I myself never use the Š term because I understand it's derrogatory conotations. Meanwhile, I'm pointing out that you made a confusion inside your response. The first part of the response told me not to use the word "Albanian" at all while reffering to internal political affair, meanwhile in the second part you also told me that it is okay to use the same word - Albanac (Albanian in english). I just pointed put the contradiction in your response, that is all.
vivaervis@reddit
Ok, maybe I should have expressed myself better. All I'm saying is that Albanians are not the enemy you're looking for when it comes to your internal affairs. I didn't say don't mention us at all. Also thank you for using the word Albanac. It's hard to find people like you nowadays 😃

thatemotionlessprick@reddit
Okay i cant speak for the whole serbian population, and I dont want to, but from my perspective this is just a nationalistic "humorous" jab that most of us have in the Balkans. I do not agree with using "šiptar" as a derogatory term. And i dont like that he is called that in the streets. Same as if he was called "ustaša" instead. All i can say is that this dark, sometimes self deprecating kind of humor knows its time, and knows the person. Its done privately, and seldomly. You cannot just do it with anyone. Gotta be friends, and gotta be good, understanding people.
All im saying is - as a form of satire of our own people, I dont completely disagree with an occasional meme like this, sorry :D because in the end, after you get a giggle, that afterthought "its just us, this whole time" hits you, and its worth getting reminded.
halphas666x@reddit
Never understood why šiptar is derogatory, is literally albanian in albanian hahaha
flying_dutchman246@reddit
Its not. In Albanian is “Shqiptar” not “Šiptar” is like trying to call you “Remănă” instead of “Romănă over time you will not precieve it as good. This term it was used by Serbs to intentionally differentiate between Albanians in Yugoslavia and the ones in Albania in order to leave the Albaninans in Yugoslavia without identity and thus preventing unification tentatives with Albania proper. “You that live in Yugoslavia are Šiptar, muslims that Turkey left behind while the ones in Albanija are Albanac, you are different” these type of indoctrination.
halphas666x@reddit
Broski, shiqptar in serbian or croatian is written šiptar, like in Romanian is șiptar, cause that is letter that matches the sound lol
flying_dutchman246@reddit
No broski. Allthese languages have their own names in dictionary for Albanians which is Albanac or Albanez in Romanian. Why try to butcher an endonym when you surely dont have the means to say it correctly in your tongue? Exactly is used as a derogatory term

You understand that literally anyone can be a student right? A nazi and a leninists can both study at the same university.

True. But Serbs feel his done more for Albanians in Kosovo then for Serbs in general. That’s the premise of him being Albanian. And that he treats minorities better then his own people

I feel ot's more like you all being a bit delusional in regards to Kosova than him doing more for Albanians. At least Vucic is able to recognize the ground reality.

Whole-Expression618@reddit
I am aware of the meme. That being said, depicting your political adversary as « albanian » just shows how serbian society still view us. It is a « gotcha » against ypur wannabe dictator rooted in hatred for albanians
RebootAndPray@reddit
That is a fair point, the meme leans into a stereotype that still exists in parts of our society. But I don’t think it reflects a majority view, and I definitely don’t think that’s the main point. It’s not some general “gotcha” that would work against any politician; it’s aimed at him specifically because he’s constantly trying to present himself as this self-declared God-king of the Serbs and the ultimate defender of our people. Which you, know, he isn't.
It’s kind of like when you're a kid - if some guy you hate keeps acting all macho, you call him gay just to get under his skin. It’s not smart, it's not sensitive, it’s just a cheap way to annoy him and get a few laughs.
So yeah, there are still some prejudices that are taken for granted, I'm not gonna claim there aren't. But don’t overanalyze it. You’re not our enemy here, he is.

Albanians and Serbs, unfortunately, hate each other, and will keep hating each other for the foreseeable future. It is a shame, but it is how it is.
Same as ‘qifsha ropt serbi’ being basically a national expression among Albanians, and calling us ‘shkije’ etc. Maybe some distant future generations will be smarter than the ones of our fathers/grandfathers, if the Earth is still around by then.

No, he is really a Bosnian and Albanians aren’t native to Bosnia. Only now after the war did some of them move to Sarajevo.

Serbs love to act like Vucic wasn’t also part of Milosevic’s government which slaughtered Albanians and Bosnians.
Milan_Leri@reddit
Which Serbs? We keep reminding that he was a part of that regime and that mny horrible politically motivated murders happened during that time, and he was involved.
GoodZealousideal5922@reddit
Well, the Serbs that are posting these pics that make him look like he loves Albanians.

Exactly, I can confirm.
The ethnonationalist Serbs are calling him "Aco Siptare" to make fun of him because he "gave Kosovo". They're even calling the police "Siptari".
Vucic likes it when his cronies are calling him "Aco Srbine", so the racists like to use that as an excuse.

He was, under Šeselj specifically (aka Radicals).
