Flames on 26th anniversary of February 3rd-4th 2000 massacre in Mitrovica

Flaradanas are on fire today near the memorial plaque, located at the New Hamer Bridge in Mitrovica, marking the 26th anniversary of the night massacre between February 3rd and 4th 2000, where 10 Albanians were killed and 25 others injured.

South Mitrovica Mayor Faton Peci said during the day that 26 years ago Milosevic's genocide regime “killed and wounded innocent civilians just because they were Albanians and were standing on their property.

According to him, the memorial tablet has been established as evidence that the sacrifice and shed blood of the victims will not be forgotten.

The memorial plaque ceremony also took part in Luan Abrashi, whose mother, Sehbiza Abrashi, was killed by Serbian structures.

He confessed that night's horror, saying the event had occurred in the presence of KFOR and UNMIK troops, about six months after the war ended.

And in her context was my mother, and Her praise Abrash. That night has been a terrible night since it was made in the presence of KFOR forces or UNMIK, about six months after the war ended. It has been very well organised by Serbian structures for ethnic cleansing of Albanians. It's been a terrible night since the murders were made indiscriminately of gender or age and in the most barbarous manner”, Abrashi said.

Meanwhile, today at the Centre of Culture “Rexep Mitrovica”, photo exhibitions from “The Night of Fright” have been opened. /Kosovo priss
