The Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo and Metohija has announced that, on Jan. 9, two unidentified persons vandalized a memorial in the village of Gorazdevac dedicated to the locals killed in the NATO aggression of 1999 and to the children murdered on the river Bistrica in a 2003 terrorist attack.
The Jan. 10 press release states that the perpetrators entered the memorial’s fenced enclosure and removed the Serbian flag displayed there. “Without a doubt, this is yet another attempt to instill fear in the Serbs of this Metohijan enclave,” the Office said.
The statement further insisted that Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti’s political agenda encourages extremists in anti-Serb acts, worsening the position of local Serbs living south of the Ibar river, whose situation has been dire for decades.
“We are again drawing the international community’s attention to the fact that the Serbs of Kosovo and Metohija are clearly the most endangered community in Europe and that the ethnically-motivated incidents against them have gained the proportions of an epidemic,” the Office concluded.
