Abstract (eng)
In my research, I have treated the image of two figures, which the nation of Kosovo and in general Kosovo Albanians living abroad thus everywhere in the world, have a lot of respect for these two figures which happen not to be Albanians. I am talking about the two former United States presidents, the presidents of the world superpower, which Albanians see them the ones who saved them from genocide. Since then, these two figures, are the most respected figures from Albanians in Balkan. They were there in a very important political part and for this reason they are part of Kosovo history in the period 1993-2009. They are the former United States presidents Georg W. Bush and Bill Clinton. To research their image, I have used two main sources: 1. Oral source 2. Material sources. The common of these two sources is that for both of them I have used the same location, thus the city of Gjilan – Kosovo.
The oral sources or the interviews have been done in city Gjilan and in the villages around. In my population, I have interviewed different people regardless of age, sex and occupations. I should point out in here that none of them were famous public figures.
The material sources have also been collected in the city of Gjilan. I have taken pictures of all the images, pictures, and different graffiti; all related to the images of the two former USA presidents Georg W. Bush and Bill Clinton. All these collected resources have been analyzed and interpreted to find out the reason behind which all of them have its own characteristics.
