In honour of the 21st anniversary of the start of the war in Kosovo, which began in the villages of Drenica, Licoshan and Crez and the fallen in this battle, associations derived from the KLA war, the Skoeraj municipality, along with the Drenas Community, starting at 11:00, will pay their respects to the martyring complex and martyrs.
Attending the homazhe will be incumbent President Vjosa Osmani, the chairman of Skyeraj, Bekim Jashari, and the chairman of Drenas, Ramiz Ladrovci.
In Likoshan and Crees, specifically at the site called “The three oaks”, fighting took place between the Kosovo Liberation Army and Serb criminal forces.
Several Serb police officers were killed in the ongoing fighting. As a result, enemy forces surrounded the two villages where 24 innocent civilians were executed.
On February 28th 1998, in Likoshan and Crees of Drenica, Serbian police in the worst manner killed women, elders, men and young unarmed men, in their courtyards and houses, in the wake of a clash with a KLA unit at 6njak Liss. The innocent victims, only killed, were massacred. With this act, the Serbian police and military began campaigning for mass acts of murder, massacres, genocide, burning and ethnic cleansing for two years (1998-1999). /kp
