On January 15th, the very day Kosovo's Assembly has appointed as the day of commemoration of genocide victims in “Square. Skenderbeu” in Pristina, activists at the “Genocide Centre in Kosovo { Open Wound” will make candle lighting. Citizens of Pristina are invited to join this event”, the communique says.

Citizens of other cities with self - help can make candle lighting in the main squares of their cities and villages.

Those who can't get out, do this on their balconys or windows.

Also, we invite all Albanians around the world at 7:30, according to their local time, to make the lighting of candles on balconys and windows in honour of genocide victims in Kosovo”, this centre adds.

We also have nongovernmental organisations, especially those that focus on their activity have the issue of war victims associated with this memorial activity.

The commemoration of Kosovo's Genocide victims is the least we have to do on our journey to triumph of justice and punishment of crime!”, said at the end of this communique.
