Petkovic: Kurti’s extremists do not let even deceased Serbs rest in peace

After the brotherhood of the Draganac Monastery visited a Serbian cemetery in Gnjilane, where they found destroyed headstones and desecrated crosses, the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovic, emphasized that the true picture of life in Kosovo is reflected in the fact that Albanian monuments remain untouched, as Serbs seek peace and coexistence with their Albanian neighbors, while, since 1999, 10,000 Serbian graves have been destroyed.

Petkovic noted on the social media platform "X" that Pristina and Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti continue to persecute Serbs while their extremists “do not even let deceased Serbs rest in peace.”

“Since 1999, 10,000 Serbian graves have been destroyed in Kosovo and Metohija. This fate has also befallen the cemetery in Gnjilane, a city ethnically cleansed of Serbs. While Pristina and Kurti persecute Serbs, their extremists still refuse to let deceased Serbs rest in peace. Graves are broken, desecrated, riddled with bullets,” Petkovic stressed.

The Office for Kosovo and Metohija, together with the Eparchy of Raska and Prizren, allocates significant funds every year for the restoration and maintenance of Serbian cemeteries, but they continue to be desecrated repeatedly.

“The true picture of life in Kosovo and Metohija is that Albanian monuments remain untouched because Serbs want peace and peaceful coexistence with their Albanian neighbors,” the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija noted.
