Kosovo to boycott Nobel ceremony over Handke’s prize

Kosovo is boycotting next week’s Nobel Prize ceremony, its foreign minister said on Saturday, in protest at the literature award being given to Peter Handke, an Austrian author criticized for his vocal support for Serbs in the 1990s wars in former Yugoslavia.

Two Nobel committee members resigned over the selection earlier this week and a member of the Swedish academy, historian and writer Peter Englund, said he would boycott the ceremony. The boycott was “due to controversial Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, a friend and supporter of Milosevic’s policy”, Pacolli said in a Facebook post.
