Serbia Prepares Force Law, Albanians of Presevo Valley oppose

Serbia is very close to functioning mandatory military service.

For Albanians, who are majority in the Presevo Valley, this is unacceptable.

Municipal representative in Bujanoc, Ragmi Mustafi, says the Serbian Army does not represent Albanians, precisely because of the past.

“is completely unacceptable any initiative for rehabilitation of Albanians to the Serbian Army, and much more for compulsory military service of Albanians in Bujanoc, Presevo and Medvedja... That army does not represent the Albanians, that army is an army representing the opposite side of Albanians, murderers and those who have abused our rights and with our lives in the Presheva Valley” respectively, Ragmi Musrafi, municipality adviser Bujanoc, said.

In this regard, two days ago, the only Albanian MP in Serbia's Parliament, Shaip Kamberi, has proposed establishing a special commission that would investigate cases of the deaths of Albanian soldiers who were in the ranks of Yugoslavia's People's Army during the years of ♫80.

Mustaf says this initiative would make Serbia face the past.

It's best to reveal the truth. By truth we can build the future, through truth we can build peace, otherwise, Serbia must finally face its past”, Mustaf says.

However, it is considered very difficult for Shaip Camber's initiative to live.

The important thing is for Albanians to raise their voices. The important thing is that Albanian MP, brilliantly, also represent these topics the Albanian community still faces. The important thing is for the international community to see the Albanian community active, and much more importantly, is for us to tell the truth”.

With this initiative, it is intended to dawn the truth about the deaths of 135 Albanians during the Yugoslav Army service, which at that time had been named as “suicide”, “axesente” or “disciplinary violation”, but who for family members were suspicious because they had often encountered violence on the returnees. /Top Channel/
