The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani paid her tribute in Vërboc and Shtutica, on the 25th anniversary of the massacres in these two villages and in the surrounding villages: Tërstenik, Dashec, Baks and Globar, where the forces of the Serbian genocidal regime on April 30th 1999, brutally killed 280 Albanian civilians.
“The closer to freedom, the brutality of the forces of the Serbian genocidal regime increased and manifested itself in the most inhuman way, hence in their offensive they killed 280 inhabitants of this zone just because they were Albanians. The KLA girls and boys of the KLA, headed by commander Ilaz Kodra, were put in defense of the civilian population. In the face of the brutality of the criminal regime, Ilaz with 42 fellow fighters stood with courage and determination until the final sacrifice. They fell on the battlefield, becoming immortal”, emphasized President Osmani.
Madam President added that the sacrifice of the heroes and martyrs of the KLA will never be forgotten, while their courage will always be remembered.
