Acting President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, paid homage on the 27th anniversary of the massacre in Rezallë.
On this occasion, the Acting President said that 27 years ago, here in Rezalle and in the surrounding villages, merciless massacres were committed by the Serbian regime.
“On April 5th, 1999, in Rezallë of Skënderaj and in the surrounding villages, the extermination plan was implemented by the Serbian regime. On that day, that is, on April 5th, 1999, boys and men from the age of 13 to the age of 90, were separated from their families, robbed, forcibly removed from their homes, and then shot. But this was not enough for the Serbian regime; their bodies were abducted and mass graves were dug for their bodies in Serbia,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
She emphasized that the goal was to hide the traces of the genocidal crime, but the traces of the crime will never be hidden and the crimes of Serbia will never be forgotten.
“They will remain forever in the memory of their families, but also in our collective memory. As institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, we will engage to ensure that there is justice for the Rezallë Massacre, but also for all the massacres, murders, rapes, destruction and expulsions that Serbia has committed in Kosovo,” said Acting President Haxhiu.
