What hurts more is that we didn’t have collective literature before Rilindja.
When my Albanology friends would come here to study the image of Kosovo in Ali Podrima’s literary studies, they couldn’t find data anywhere.
In my opinion, Anton Pashku is the basis of modern literature in Kosovo, while his archive is the poorest archive which we possess.
In one of Fehime’s articles that are published in the Archive, she writes “the silence of my friends concerns me.”
Rilindja Archive does not only constitute historical value, but also civil and human value.
