Massacres of Albanians by the Serbian army when leaving Albania in 1913

Petrit Latifi

The Serbian troops, who invaded Albania and committed some of the worst atrocities of the century, were forced by the Great Powers to evacuate Albania. However, the Serb soldiers did not succeed in doing this without continuing with their blood-thirst. Th Serbs committed many atrocities against Albanian civilian. Serbians looted, burned and massacred constantly. The Serbian genocidal tendencies would continue for another 15 years, with constant invasions, looting, murder, rape, torture, expulsion, etc.

“The Albanian Correspondence reports from Lezhë: During their retreat from Albania, the Serbian troops acted inhumanely against the local population. Looting, arson, and massacres were the order of the day. In many villages, the entire population, women, children, and the elderly, was surrounded and executed. The Serbian troops acted as if they had received an order from Belgrade to exterminate the entire population.”
