Today, 20 years from the Kosovo Albanian escort, when during the 1998-1999 war, about one million Albanians were forced by Serb paramilitary forces to move to Albania and Macedonia.
Apart from the displaced in Albania and Macedonia, thousands of Albanians crossed the border with Montenegro, while hundreds of thousands had moved from their homes to find refuge in the Kosovo mountains.
Exodus, or expulsion of Albanians with violence from their centres, culminated after the start of NATO bombings against the former Yugoslavia's military and police points (Serbia and Montenegro), Kosovo Presses broadcast.
April 16th is the date when Exodus Day is marked in Kukes as a sign of thanks and respect for all who open their doors to receive their Albanian brothers from Kosovo.
