Serbia massacred 150,000 Albanians in 1912-1913

Petrit Latifi

Accoding Josip Pečarić in the book “PRAVEDNICA MEĐU NARODIMA – LJUBICA ŠTEFAN”, between 1912 to 1913, Serbian troops massacred around 150,000 Albanians in all the Albanian regions.

“With the occupation of Kosovo, the Serbs, under various pretexts, massacred over 150,000 Albanians. Albanian books were banned, the Albanian language, Albanian names had to be Serbified (as in Macedonia), Albanian children had to attend Serbian schools. An Albanian in Kosovo and Macedonia does not even enjoy the right to life: any Serb can kill him with impunity and openly. (p. 282.)”

Radnice Novine in 1920

“In 1920, Radničke novine recorded the statement of a Serbian soldier, which eloquently speaks of the scale of brutality and terror:

“…We immediately launched an attack, sparing no expense nobody and nothing. We immediately killed the prisoners, took away the cattle, burned the villages one by one, and in many places neither women nor children were spared. They were running away from us, leading (most of them) and families, scattering in the forests, while we set fire to and left around 90 villages to burn to the ground. (p. 217)”1

Serbian terrorist organization of 1921 by Pero Živković

Pero Živković

“The main terror was carried out by the Serbian terrorist organization White Hand, founded in 1912 and headed by Pero Živković, later the president of the Yugoslav government during the 6th of January dictatorship of King Alexander in 1929. The dungeons were full of Albanians and were real torture chambers worse than the worst Inquisition. A similar fate was experienced by Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia’s faithful partner in the Balkan wars.”
