MP of the Serbian List in the Kosovo Assembly and Chairman of the Progressive Democratic Party Nenad Rasic says the 17 and 18 March 2004 were the most terrible days for the Serbs in Kosovo. “With 4,000 Serbs expelled, over 800 houses demolished, 45 religious buildings burned, including the Church of Bogorodica Ljeviska in Prizren, and another 100 churches destroyed in just two days of violence, it can be said that these were among the most brutal of crimes” said Rasic.
Many promises that those responsible would be put behind the bars were only public statements. “I remember those days. They left so strong of an impression on all of us that I could compare those days with the worst days of bombing. I thought that 17 March 2004 would show who the victims and who the culprits in Kosovo are. Unfortunately, I was not right, crimes against Serbs in Kosovo are quickly forgotten, while if it were the opposite we would probably hear about them every day,” said Rasic.
