Atrocities in Kratova, Dors Gradec, Kochana, and Visoka committed by Serbian and Bulgarian bands led by Dunbalow.
“Terrible atrocities by Bulgarian and Serbian gangs.
The Viennese and German newspapers report, based on diplomatic consular reports, on the horrific atrocities committed by the Serbs and Bulgarians. In the Kratova district, 200 Muslim houses were burned down. Dors Gradec, a town of 500 houses, was destroyed. In the Kochana district, 595 Muslim houses were burned down by Bulgarian komitachs. 31 Albanian villages were razed to the ground by Serbian komitachs. In Visoka, a town of 400 inhabitants, 500 Muslims, boys as young as 13, were murdered, and women and girls raped, by a Bulgarian gang led by a certain Dunbalow. Dunbalow and his accomplices could later be seen with gold-plated objects”.
“A Turkish doctor had agreed to become a Christian. He was baptized as Nikola and slaughtered, while his wife fell victim to a Bulgarian officer. In Kurkotov, all Muslims, men and women, were massacred. Only 20 young girls were spared to be baptized. When one girl refused, she was shot. The girls were then burned in the mosque. In Petrov, a mother could not bear to watch her daughter being raped by soldiers. She grabbed a rifle and shot at the Bulgarians. A general massacre then ensued. Women and children were locked in a house and burned”.
