76 years of the Tivar massacre

Nationalist war or World War II had just ended in Kosovo. The Albanian people, found and reinstated without their desire in Yugoslavia, however, hoped that his situation would change radically compared to the pre-war. He hoped for union with his mother and hoped for freedom won in war with blood. But rather than enjoy the freedom won, the Serbian regime had planned and carried out mass massacres everywhere.

The spring of 1945 had come as dark as hell. The massacres, mass killings, imprisonment, and plunder of a war - weary people, poverty, and long captivity were numbered.

In the cold winter of 1945, the “rescuers of the Yugoslav” had rushed all over Kosovo and other Albanian parts to swallow them. To make it easier to devour, however, the partisan local entities, such as fields, kids, battalions and brigades, had been sent to war fronts abroad throughout Yugoslavia, allegedly to meet Yugoslavia's Nationalist Army partisan units.

Besides, the new Yugoslav regime had violently mobilised tens of thousands of Albanians to be sent to war fronts in Dalmatia, Srem and throughout Yugoslavia. But, instead of on war fronts, in March, April 1945, Serbian, Macedonian and Montenegrin chauvinists committed monstrous killings and massacres unprecedented on soldiers dealt with Albanian troops.

The Yugoslav Serb regime on February 8, 1945, had established military administration in Kosovo alone, which was fully guided by Serbian military ʹMontenegrins. By specific order of the Yugoslav military leader, the violent mobilization of Albanians had also begun. The mobilised were divided into two parts: one part was sent to the Srem Front, while the rest were on the Adriatic Front (over 22 thousand soldiers). The second part of the mobilised or Albanian recruits initially gathered in Prizren, where they stayed several days, where they disarmed and split into the eshalo and other military units. Then they continued on their way to Tivar, through Kukes, Fushes-Arra, Puka and Shkodra, but on Serbian command of Serbia's 46th Division. On the way and through the cold, food-free and not allowing to quench the thirst, hundreds of Albanian soldiers were killed. Upon arriving in Tivar, on April 1, 1945, a massive massacre of Albanian soldiers followed.

There they were killed without cause, according to some notes, over four thousand soldiers. On April 18th, another method of suppressing poisonous gas in Raguzia (Dubrovnik) has killed another 1300 Albanians. In the town of Trogir in Dalmaci, they drowned in the sea after sinking on a ship, at least 29 Albanians, conscripted soldiers. The exact number of Albanian soldiers killed along the way across Albanian territory, in the cities of Tivar, Ragusa and Trogir, has never been learned.

The politics of the new Yugoslav Serb holders did not differ at all from the extermination of the pre-war Serbian regimes. Albanians were falsely accused. To them, the Serbian, Montenegrin and Macedonian political and military leadership had created a biased and deeply hostile attitude, reflecting later during all political developments for Kosovo, with unjust, chauvinist and fascist actions, deestimating “” The resolution of Bujan, establishing the military administration, manipulating and violating the vote at the Prizren Conference, sending to Kosovo military units from Serbia and Macedonia to commit crimes, disarming the local population, making numerous arrests, opening up files for each Albanian intellectual and patriotic Albanian, eliminating Albanians from power and administration, making the violent mobilization of Albanians only by massiting the soldiers mobilized but also the population, sending Albanian fronts to Kosovo outside of the war to use them as a top> to force them to move to Turkey.

The mobilization was reportedly being done for the fulfillment of Yugoslavia's People's Army military units for participation in liberation operations. But Albanian mobilised from Kosovo and the Albanian part of Macedonia were not sent to the fronts of war, nor to operations for the liberation of Yugoslavia.

Instead of being killed by their superiors, by their command, by experiencing the goals of endless suffering and unprecedented killings in history, both during the “war fronts” and at (planned) locations for their mass murder; at Tivar, in Raguza, in Trogir.

Albanian mobilized recruits had remained in the streets, remained under command and under the mercy of Serbian superiors and soldiers.

They were tired and tired, hungry and thirsty, without food, without care, and under very difficult conditions. Thus, mass killings in Tivar, Raguza, and Trogir were the proportions of unprecedented, monstrous crimes, the proportions of massacres and genocide. These killings cannot be named any other than as venturing the chauvinist and fascist desires of the Yugoslav military and political leader, and especially the leader of the Serbian, Montenegrin and Macedonian, directly responsible for these tragic events.
