In 1912, the German paper “Unterinntaler Messenger” published an article writing that the Austrian consul in Prizren received information that Serbian troops would kill Albanian children as young as 8 years old. Cited from the article:
“That official report of the Consul contained information about the terrible atrocities committed by Serbian troops in the area around Prizren against Albanians; he stated that: the defenseless
AlbanianThe population is being slaughtered village by village, and apparently systematically exterminated down to eight-year-old children.
Since this report, which may have been inconvenient enough for the responsible Serbian personalities, all contact with the Konjul has been severed. Even official telegraphic inquiries do not reach him, and the Serbian government’s response to the request for information is a shrug and an excuse based on the particular difficulties of communication under the current military conditions.
The question of what happened remains unsolved, but the undoubted fact is that a representative of the monarchy, protected by international law, was somehow deprived of the opportunity to exercise his office and the freedom to which he is entitled under international law, and only after the establishment of the Serbian administration in Prizren.
His violent isolation from the outside world is a manifestation of extraterritoriality such as has not been seen in Europe for years. At all times, hostile treatment meted out to a consul or ambassador has been considered an insult to that state, and from this, one can gauge the attitudes Serbia expresses toward the monarchy and the humiliations it believes it can inflict on Eastern Hungary.”
