Gjakova residents protest to visit by Serb pilgrims (Kosovapress)

The news site reports that a group of Gjakova/Djakovica residents gathered today in front of the Orthodox Church to protest against a visit by Serb pilgrims for Orthodox Christmas. Protesters said they did not want people who took part in the Kosovo conflict to return to Gjakova where many crimes were committed in 1999. “I will stay here. Gjakova is the same as Srebrenica. I will not allow Serbs to pass here because they killed my 17 year-old son,” a protester told the news site. Kosovo Police, who were present at the site the whole time, arrested one of the protesters. Police officers also managed to move the protesters away from the entrance of the church.
