The President of the Republic of Kosovo Vjosa Osmani Sadriu commemorated the Meja massacre.
“In Meja, there are still open graves, there are mothers who come there and cry next to an empty grave because the Serbian regime still keeps secret the information related to the location of those killed in Meja and all of Kosovo,” said President Osmani.
President Osmani’s full statement:
Today we remember one of the most terrible massacres carried out by the Serbian regime against the Albanian people of Kosovo, that of Meja, in which 376 men between the ages of 15 and 75, 36 of whom were under 18, were executed by the Serbian police and army. Meja is an eternal wound of ours, but also a stone that must weigh immensely on the conscience of the Serbian regime of yesterday, which systematically divided and killed our sons, hid them or evanesced their corpses forever, as well as of the present regime, who continues to live upon the crimes committed by their state, without conscience and without an apology to the victims. Therefore, we say it out loud, today and forever: those killed in Meja are victims of the Serbian genocide committed in Kosovo. This genocide must be known by its real name. Meja is the undeniable evidence of a terrible intention of a state for the collective murder of a nation, but also our unceasing cry to resoundingly articulate our call for justice. There are still open graves in Meja, there are mothers who come there and cry next to an empty grave because the Serbian regime still keeps secret the information related to the location of those killed in Meja and all of Kosovo.
