A memorial exists for Serbian soldiers in Tirana

Scholar Kastriot Dervisi published a photo taken at the Sharra cemetery showing a Memorial of 1939 dedicated to Serb soldiers killed in Albania in 1912-1913, years known for the Serb army's inhuman massacres on Albanians. This photo is a memorial dedicated to 522 soldiers killed in Albania in [...]
This photo is a memorial dedicated to 522 soldiers killed in Albania in 1912-1913. He was photographed by me a week ago. It's at the Sharra cemetery in Tirana. It must have been built in 1939 after the fascist occupation of Albania, at a time when relations between Italy and Yugoslavia were good.
It is strange how this memorial of the Communist regime could have been taken care of because this destructive regime and cemetery disappeared. The memorial appears to have been carefully moved from someone (maybe Bam's Tomb) to the new cemetery in Sharra, when these cemeteries have opened in the late 1950s or early 1960s.
The soldiers belong to the second Morava Brigade Battalion and are from the Serbian town of Massadija. The Serbian Army after then occupying Albanian territory committed multiple massacres on the Albanian population, burned and stole the property of Albanians. For all of these and the history of both countries, this memorial is unacceptable to stay, not in Tirana, but not in Albania, because it is honour of Serbian crime and massacres” writes Dervisi.
