Russian Church Tserkovnyĭ vi͡estnik (Церковный вестник) newspaper in 1903: Claims of Albanian atrocities against Serbs are fabricated

This passage comes from the Russian Orthodox journal Church Messenger (Церковный вестник). The author is rejecting and dismissing contemporary reports of Albanian violence against the Serbian (and Bosniak) population in the Ottoman-controlled areas of Kosovo.

Cited:

“Утверждает далее, что всякие известия о зверствах, совершаемых албанцами над сербами и босняками, — чистые выдумки. Так, неправда, будто албанцы насиловали женщин, бесчестили трупы и т. п. Вся…”

Translation:

“He further asserts that all reports of atrocities committed by the Albanians against Serbs and Bosniaks are pure fabrications. Thus, it is not true that the Albanians raped women, desecrated corpses, and so on.”
