Sinan Hasani
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sinan Hasani (b. 1922) was an ethnic-Albanian Yugoslavian politician and president of Yugoslavia (head of the presidency). He declared himself of Albanian nationality, but he is a personality of high controversy because of the continuing oppressed situation of the ethnic Albanians even during his regime.
Hasani was elected as head of the Yugoslavian presidency in 1986 with his term ending in 1987. He also served as a member of the presidency.
Sinan Hasani is remembered for his undiplomatic deals with the leader of Albania, Enver Hoxha who in turn, through his patriotic speeches, gained a lot of support among the ethnic Albanians in Yugoslavia. Sinan Hasani had tagged Enver Hoxha “a scabby goat” (a Serbian idiom), while Hoxha called Hasani “a Serbian dog” in response to this.
