As Silber and Little point out, knowing the temper of the Kosovar Serbs, Stambolic advised his protégé Milosevic before he left Belgrade: -Be careful, keep a cool head!- (37).
The meeting was held in a place that is very much connected to Serbian national identity, as is best explained in Mark Thompson's "A Paper House-; "Kosovo had, furthermore, always been dear to the hearts of Serbs. In 1389, the army of the medieval Serbian kingdom was destroyed by a Muslim Turkish army at a battle fought on the Field of Blackbirds. Memory of this catastrophe awakened fears among the Serbs that they would be overcome once again by sheer force of Muslim numbers- (25). From that day forth Serbs celebrate this day as a national and a religious feast St. Vitus Day where different festivities are organized in the honor of the battle. .
Not only the importance of the location and the timing of the event, but also the way the celebration was prepared point to the fact that the speech was planned. Before the speakers appeared on the stage, old poems of the battle were read, patriotic songs were preformed. These performances provoked fervent nationalistic emotions through which people were acting as though they were going to a battle. The stage was prepared for the main speakers to appear and the setting was perfect for a "populist- performance. .
Just before Milosevic appeared on the stage, the choice Tsar Lasar made before going to the battle with the Turks was read; "On the eve of the battle, says the epic, the Mother of God offered Lazar the choice of a heavenly or an earthly empire. Lazar weighed the options: .
Kind God, what shall I do, how shall I do it?.
What is the empire of my choice?.
Is it the empire of heaven?.
Is it the empire of earth?.
And if I shall choose the empire,.
And choose the empire of the earth,.
The empire of earth is brief,.
Heaven is lasting and everlasting.
And the emperor chose the empire of heaven.
