Belgrade newspaper “Rad”, dated August 5, 1925, writes that the Serbs would kill Albanian civilians and burn villages
“Regarding the murders and massacres, the Belgrade newspaper “Rad”, dated August 5, 1925, writes: “For several days now, Albanian houses have been burning. It is difficult to hear the screams of children and the elderly who are being mistreated and trampled on with the intention of looting them”.
“In Arnautlluk, the rifles echo. Entire areas inhabited by Albanians are boiling with riots similar to those in Ireland… Serbia has formed… a province with second-class citizens. Entire villages are being burned there, many people are being killed, the atrocities are limitless.
No one in this country has any shame anymore. Like the last cannibal, the government preaches the extermination of a population because of religious and national hatred. No one asks who pushed those people to flee. No one will see that our policemen and civil servants, who are guilty of the blood that has been shed there since the “liberation”, should be stopped. But they are being preached new slaughter and bloodshed.
Albanian villages resemble real massacres”… “The work was more efficient until now, he slaughtered Albanian women and children successfully. He knew how to kill them with one bullet out of six. Until he got tired, he stabbed people in Kosovo”.
Serbian massacres of Albanians in Dumnica of Vushtrri and Rugova in 1924
“Mass murders caused for minor reasons on innocent people, whose only fault was that they were Albanians. The massacre in Dumnica (Vučitrn district) on February 10, 1924 – the massacre of over 25 Albanians (including 10 women, 8 children under 8 years old, 7 men over 50 years old). So, no one has been convicted for this crime. The burning of Rugova.
In the document regarding the expulsion of Albanians, the colonization of Kosovo with the Slavic element, it was stated: “Relocation to Albania is not viewed favorably. The Yugoslav government has a vested interest in seeing all those who have been persecuted and plundered settled as far as possible from its borders. For this reason, a thousand misfortunes are caused to those people who wish to go to their relatives in Albania”.
Serbian and Yugoslav oppression and murders of Albanians in the 1990s
During a visit by an official Dutch delegation in June 1995 to the Council for the Protection of Human Rights and Freedoms of Kosovo, the chairman of this Council, Mr. Adem Demaçi, among other things, informed that delegation about the Serbian colonization of Kosovo, saying: That almost a quarter of the Albanian population, even the most vital one, has emigrated abroad. Serbia is taking all measures to create conditions for the settlement of 100,000 Serbian and Montenegrin settlers in the territory of Kosovo and it is acting intensively and since last year the Serbian government has begun building residential centers for Serbian and Montenegrin settlers in the territory of Kosovo. [ 175 ]
On the other hand, seeing that the rapid change in the national structure of the population of Kosovo, the colonization through the aforementioned program of the former Yugoslavia, the program of Serbia in 1990 and the behavior of Serbian refugees, did not yield encouraging results, the Serbian government continued, but now with increased intensity, a systematic terror against Albanians, especially against the youth, with the aim of abandoning and emptying Kosovo.
Meanwhile, the collection of weapons, which Albanians do not have, according to the scenarios of the weapons collection action in the 50s, was used as a pretext, as well as the pursuit of Albanian recruits, whose number each year is from 18,000 to 20,000, as well as numerous provocations made to Albanian youth by the police, government, administration and the Serbian and Montenegrin population themselves, who lived in Kosovo. 130,000 Kosovo Albanian employees were dismissed, out of a total of 150,000.THE SERBIAN COLONIZATION OF KOSOVO (2026)
State, legal, police and all leadership positions were completely taken over by Serbs. According to some accounts, more than 1,600 Serbs and Montenegrins were appointed directors and other leading cadres in economic organizations, institutions and other organizations in the social sector (this is what the Serbs and Montenegrins themselves said in public appearances). [ 176 ] Hundreds of thousands of Albanians were mistreated by the police. Dozens of people were killed and massacred every year. Murders and massacres, supposedly “suicides”, were committed especially against Albanian soldiers in Yugoslav Serb barracks.”
