A tweet made by British pop star Dua Lipa explaining the word ‘Autochthonous’ has sparked controversy.

The word simply means ‘of an inhabitant of a place’. Actually, what that has sparked controversy is not the word but the map she has shared along with the explanation.

The map depicts Albania, Kosova and certain regions in Balkan countries as a single territory. Simply, the map supports the expansionist ideology of Albanian nationalism.  

Actually, the pop star has Kosovo roots. She was born to a couple born in Kosovo. But, the star born after they had moved to the UK.

Though the tweet has been criticized severely by those who are against the expansionist attitude of the Kosovo nationalism, it has received tremendous support from those who subscribe the idea of Kosovo nationalism.

Anyway, the tweet has brought the topic of Kosovo nationalism back into the table of global political discussion.

The star has not yet commented about the criticism she has received for her tweeter post.

It is not the first time the topic has received global attention.

The creation of Greater Kosovo is the longstanding dream of Kosovo nationalism. The idea has several supporters in the Europe – especially in the region where the disputed countries including Kosovo are situated.
