Petrit Latifi
In 1913, the paper “Der Arbeiter” published an article on Serbian and Montenegrin atrocities and war crimes in the region of Gjakova.
“Serb-Montenegrin atrocities. The entire Malesia e Gjakoves region was razed to the ground by large Serbian and Montenegrin forces that invaded Albanian territory, robbing and plundering, and setting fire to everything. 15,000 people are homeless on the road to Shkodër.
Citing the immense hardship, the burning of many villages, and the execution of 600 Albanians by the Serbs, the Malesoris appealed to the Great Powers for intervention. In independent Albania, Serbian troops destroyed 28 villages during the last Albanian uprising. And these Serbian hordes claim to be the true bearers of culture, and this Serbian state is constantly defended by our socialist newspapers because they betray and defile their own homeland.”
