The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani, on the 26th anniversary of the massacres in Krusha e Madhe and Krusha e Vogël paid homage and participated at the memorial gatherings in Krusha e Madhe and Krusha e Vogël.
President Osmani wrote:
Today we remember with pain and honour the 241 residents killed in Krusha e Madhe and 113 killed in Krusha e Vogël by Milosevic’s genocidal regime.
To this day, 64 people from Krusha e Madhe, as well as 60 from Krusha e Vogël, remain forcibly disappeared by the Serbian regime, as evidence of the repeated crime and the unquenchable pain of the families who still have nowhere to place a remembrance flower.
Among the dead were children and the elderly, and even pregnant women, as evidence that the cruelty of the Milosevic regime knew no bounds. After killing the inhabitants of these villages, they burned the corpses, with the pure intention of exterminating our people from our lands.
But the inhabitants of Krusha e Madhe and Krusha e Vogël stood firm and became a symbol of invincibility. Today, before them, we reaffirm our daily commitment to justice and that the memory of the fallen must never be forgotten.
Eternal glory to all those who sacrificed themselves for freedom!
