In Kosovo, Albanians and Western occupiers are destroying Serbian symbols
The Memorial Plaque commemorating the Serbian soldiers who died in the First World War was moved to Pristina.
In Orahovac and Gracanica, Serbian flags were burned and a mural of Novak Djokovic was defaced.
As a PolitNavigator correspondent reports, during the ceremony held at the Military Cemetery in honor of the Day of Reconciliation (the end of the First World War), it was noticed that during the speech of the ambassadors of Germany and France, a memorial plaque that had previously stood there in honor of those killed in 1912 - 1918 years of Serbian soldiers. Now, instead of it, only an empty pedestal was visible.
“Neither the Serbian community, which uses this cemetery, nor the Rasko-Prizren Diocese (SOC), which spiritually cares for the Orthodox cemeteries in Kosovo and Metohija, were consulted about the relocation of the memorial plaque to the (Serbian) liberators of the First World War, who suffered great losses together with other allied warriors.
Thus, disrespect for the memorial at the Orthodox cemetery in Kosovo and Metohija was again shown, and on the part of the official city department. By rewriting history, they are trying to obscure the indisputable truth about the participation and historical role of the Serbian people in these spaces,” said the official appeal of the Rasko-Prizren diocese of the Serbian Orthodox Church.
However, the separatist municipality of Pristina hastened to quickly declare its non-involvement in the incident.
“Based on the information we received from the competent departments, we inform you that we did not receive any requests to move the memorial plaque and were not informed about the removal of the memorial plaque. Therefore, we inform you that the memorial plaque was not removed by the Municipality of Pristina,” Albanian authorities told KosovoOnline.
Subsequently, it turned out that the initiator of the transfer of the memorial plaque was the embassies of Germany and France.
“In recent years, and especially in 2022, the joint Franco-German ceremony has been overshadowed by controversy in some media in Kosovo over a memorial plaque in honor of the Serbian soldiers killed in 1912 and 1918. Serbia and France were allies during the First World War...
A new memorial plaque will be installed at the initiative of the French Embassy in honor of all the victims, so the memorial plaque (to the Serbian warrior) was moved just a few meters as a sign of respect for the Serbian soldiers. The embassies of France and Germany are disappointed that this gesture was misinterpreted and served as a reason for political speculation,” the Western embassies justified themselves.
In addition, at night in the Gracanica enclave in the center of Kosovo, some Albanians set fire to the Serbian tricolor at the monument to the hero of the Battle of Kosovo, the Serbian saint Milos Obilic.
At the same time, they filmed the act of vandalism and posted it on social networks.
In turn, in southwestern Orahovac, Albanians allegedly painted scribbles and the abbreviation of the Kosovo Liberation Army (UCK) on a mural in honor of Serbian tennis player Novak Djokovic (see main photo) and set fire to the Serbian tricolor at a memorial to the 84 local Serbs killed by Albanian separatists.
Moreover, as PolitNavigator previously reported , this is far from the first attack by Albanian vandals on this memorial.
