Serbian national broadcaster, RTS continues its serial “Pravo na sutra” focusing on usurped Serb properties in Kosovo, featuring some of the cases.
According to RTS, more than a million of land plots in Kosovo and Metohija are usurped. There are assessments saying that more than 35.000 residential units were destroyed. While displaced Serbs from Kosovo wait to repossess their properties, they are being further destroyed and falsely sold.
Novica Dobrosavljevic found out a cemetery was built on his land parcel in Talinovac village, nearby Urosevac.
Dusan Dragojevic, who used to live in the centre of Pec was beaten up and expelled from his house in 1999. Two years later he passed away, while his neighbour first looted, then demolished Dragojevic’s house and at the end constructed a parking lot, for which he takes the money.
24-hectare property of late Vladimir Vasic is located in the village of Straza, nearby Novo Brdo. A few years ago his wife Stojanka was brutally beaten up after which she left the village. The house was demolished and usurpers fenced the property.
“We went to the police and they said to my mother: They wait for you to die and then to take away your land. Is that (what) police should do?” Trajanka Vasic Markovic, daughter of Stojanka, told RTS.
Radomir Vuckovic from the village of Vrbice, currently lives in Kusce village. He told RTS he was beaten up and kidnapped, then his house was burned down and 12-hectare property usurped.
Interviewed displaced Serbs complained over the lack of support from responsible institutions, including police and judiciary, hoping they would manage with the support of the Free Legal Aid Office to repossess their properties, despite some cases before the courts might take years to conclude, RTS reported.
