Kosovo President Vjosa Osmani paid tribute on the 27th anniversary of the Lybeniq Massacre.
Speaking to the media, Osmani recalled the brutal killings, including an 18-month-old infant.
“Here, pregnant women were massacred, infants in their mothers’ wombs were killed, and the elderly who could not move were murdered. This site demonstrates in the most brutal way the intent of the Serbian genocidal regime — to completely wipe out the Albanian people,” she said.
Osmani emphasized that the regime’s goal was never achieved because the Albanian people and the families of Lybeniq rose again.
“Our voices, minds, and hearts must unite so that not only in Kosovo, but across the world, we raise our voices to demand justice and expose the horrific crimes committed by Serbia against the Albanian people,” she stated.
On April 1, 1999, in Lybeniq, Peja, 80 Albanian civilians were killed by the notorious Serbian group known as the “Čakali.”
