When Serbs made up excuses to then blame and massacre 70 Albanians in 1915

Petrit Latifi

Serbian genocidal killings of Albanians continued in 1915 in Albanian villages in Macedonia. According to a report from Köprülü, Serbian troops massacred 70 Albanians and took many to Skopje (Shkup). There they were accused them of throwing a bomb, however, it turns out that the Serbs themselves threw the bomb to have a reason to blame Albanians.

“Constantinople, January 19. According to a report from Köprülü, 70 Mohammedans were killed by the Serbs in a nearby Macedonian village, and many were captured and taken to Uskub. The Muslims were accused of throwing a bomb. Here, it is believed that the bomb was thrown by the Serbs themselves, with the intention of blaming the Muslims for this crime and creating a pretext for a progrom.”
