Serbian atrocities in Fshaj, Smac and Bizhtazhin where 72 Albanians were murdered in 1941. The Serbs then tried to blame other Albanians for the crime.

Sefer Berisha, 89, gives an interview of an event in 1941 in Rogova of Hasi. In 1941, Serbian Cetnik troops massacred 72 Catholic Albanians from the villages of Fshaj, Smac and Bizhtazhin. Then the Serb Cetniks tried to blame their own war crimes on Catholic Albanians in order to have them fight the Muslim Albanians. They had tried to do this already in 1922.

After the massacre, the Serbs came to the local hoxha and took his key in order to hide the massacred Catholic Albnaians. 12 of these dead Albanians were brought to the mosque. The local Albanians then undressed the corpses in order to keep evidence of the Serbian atrocities.
