In 1913, the French paper “Le Humanité” published a copy of an official report submitted to the consulate of Salonika. The report mentions that the Serbian troops burned 31 Albanian villages. It also mentions the Macedonian Slav war criminals: Kristo of Kumanovo, Spiro Diliof of Skopje and Alexander Drowos of Shtip and their atrocities against Albanians, Turks and Muslims.
“The “Humanité,” our Parisian sister paper, publishes a copy of an official report submitted to a consulate in Salonika. It deals with the atrocities committed by the “liberators” of the Balkans against the Muslim population of the occupied territories […]”
Serbian atrocities in Albanian villages of Macedonia
“The consular report first tells a few things about the Serbs: looting, destruction, massacres. The number of Albanian towns that were systematically destroyed, either completely or partially, by the Serbs is 31.”
Macedonian Slav war criminals: Kristo of Kumanovo, Spiro Diliof of Skopje and Alexander Drowos of Shtip
“Kristo of Kumanovo, Spiro Diliof of Shkup, Alexander Drowos of Shtip, and others plundered all the villages in the Kratovo and Kochana districts, set them on fire, and massacred the entire Muslim population. In Shujovo and Mescheli, all the Turks were massacred, and another 200 in Vetreni. In Bodganitsa, 60 Turks were imprisoned in a mosque.
Afterwards, they were forced out and massacred one by one. In the Kavadar district, 34 of a total of 98 villages were destroyed. The Turks, some of whom believed themselves saved by a ransom paid to one gang, were massacred by another gang. In Drenevo, all the inhabitants were killed. Between this Orie and Palifura, a series of graves were found from which heads protruded. They belong to the martyred who were buried alive.”
