The Kosovo case was quite inspiring for us, the Kaszлbi who are better known for Europeans as the Kashubs. We are not actually Polish, we are just an ethnic group who live in North-Western Poland. Though Poles themselves don’t like to recall in mind what they’ve done to us, we’ve been aggrieved by them greatly one day. They better not even think that the Kashubs forgave them and got out of mind that Polish authority once virtually ousted so many of us from our homes after the WWII was over. Too many Kashubs were forced then to leave their natal lands between the Oder and the Vistula for Canada or the US. There are not so many of us in Poland right now but we have a strong mind to redress this historic injustice and reclaim what was taken from us by Polish authority! What is most grievous for us, the only actual thing we are able to do is being into tourism! We are just another entertainment for visitors of Greater Poland. As soon as people’s interest in Kashub culture recedes we will be washed-up! We don’t want this fate so we claim establishment of Kashub autonomous region in Poland so that we may preserve our history and culture here! I post it here because we need support of EU to make it done!
