Kosovo to boycott Nobel ceremony over Handke’s prize 0 SHARES Share it! Two Nobel committee members resigned over the selection earlier this week and a member of the Swedish academy, historian and writer Peter Englund, said he would boycott the ceremony. The literature prize is still struggling to recover from a rape scandal that resulted in no award being given last year. The boycott was “due to controversial Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, a friend and supporter of Milosevic’s policy”, Pacolli said in a Facebook post. The author was accused of minimizing Serb war crimes in his 1997 book “A Journey to the Rivers: Justice for Serbia”.
