Kosovo customs blocked shipment of Fehmiu’s books to Kosovo (TV Most)
The entire shipment of the second part of the biography of Bekim Fehmiu ‘Brilliant and terrifying’, which was published in Albanian by Samizdat B92, were stored in the Kosovo customs warehouse, while distributer, Rilindja AGE, was not allowed to take over the shipment. The Kosovo media published the information on the kind of "arrest" of a book, which was promoted in Pristina and Prizren on Friday and Saturday. As reported, authorities in Kosovo confirmed that this "misunderstanding" will be resolved soon.
“The greatest Albanian-Serbian actor Bekim Fehmiu stood up against the spread of hatred in the late 80s, and withdrew from professional and public life,” commented Samizdat Director Veran Matic. “He spoke about this in his biography, precisely in the book ‘Brilliant and Terrifying’,” said Samizdat director, Veran Matić.
"And again it happens that his testimony is the victim of a customs war of reciprocal measures that are encompassing an exceptionally valuable work - Bekim's book," said Matić, who attended the well-attended and emotional promotions of the book in Pristina and Prizren.
