Serbian national forum (SNF) announced that the intention of some Albanian war and post-war leaders to accuse Serbia of genocide against Albanians is a premeditated counter-action because of the fear that Albanians would be accused for committing the genocide against the Serbian people in Kosovo and Metohija.
As pointed out by the Serbian national forum, some Albanian media warned about this, stating that the draft Law on the Special Court for war crimes in Kosovo mentions the genocide.
“If someone has suffered genocide in Kosovo and Metohija, then this is certainly not the Albanian, but the Serbian people. That statement can be proved by the facts: Albanian extremists, only in a few months after the June 1999 killed around one thousand and abducted the same number of Serbs and other non-Albanians. They expelled more than 250 thousand, or even two-thirds of the Serbian population, the Roma and other communities. Albanians usurped or destroyed about 50,000 of houses, thousands of hectares of arable land, and evicted all Serbian institutions, schools, faculties, universities, Radio and TV stations, newspapers and other media and publishing houses.”
Referring to the data of UNMIK from 1999, SNF recalls that in Kosovo systematically, in the orchestrated violence, was burned, destroyed and devastated 155 Serbian Orthodox churches and monasteries.
“More than 10,000 icons and ecclesiastical and liturgical items were destroyed or stolen and 250 cemeteries and about 7,000 tombstones were demolished. Thousands of Serbian toponyms with millennial duration were renamed”.
SNF urges Albanian political and intellectual establishment to reject such “petty-propaganda shenanigans” and force their leaders to seek the resolution of difficult social situation in Kosovo.
If the Assembly of Kosovo will adopt the aforementioned resolution, SNF will request from the Government and the Parliament of the Republic of Serbia to adopt a Resolution on the Albanian genocide against Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija.
