Oliver Schmittとは 意味・読み方・使い方

Oliver Jens Schmitt (Basel, 1973) is professor of South-East European history on Vienna University since 2005. and member of Junge Kurie of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and member of its Direktorium.
His book “Skanderbeg. Der neue Alexander auf dem Balkan”, a critical biography of George Castrioti-Skanderbeg, caused a hot debate in Albanian public because not only demythified Albania's national hero but also supported that he was of partially Serbian origin. A Swiss national daily newspaper Tagesanzeiger published a Schmitt's interview given to Enver Robelli in Tirana a month later (February 25, 2009), in which it is emphasized that Schmitt claims that Skanderbeg's mother Vojsava was Serbian, member of Brankovići and that Kastrioti surname is probably derived from the Greek word. He was accused of committing sacrilege and sullying the Albanian national honor. The translator who translated his book from German to Albanian was accused for treason.
