35 years ago, thousands of students were poisoned by toxic gases in schools across Kosovo.
Today, the NGO “Guardians of Time” organized a march in remembrance of the students who were poisoned.
In the square of the municipality of Podujeva, where a large number of citizens have gathered to honor the victims.
It is worth remembering that the poisonings in Kosovo with toxic gases in the spring of 1990 were the result of an extermination doctrine prepared by the Serbian military intelligence service, which poisoned thousands of young people, mostly students, and among them, there were even babies in preschool institutions.
In March and April of 1990, more than 7,000 Albanian children from schools in Kosovo sought medical assistance at medical centers in Kosovo and improvised ambulances with poisoning signs. Serbian doctors in several hospitals refused to accept the poisoned children.
At that time, the Yugoslav government issued an official statement claiming that there was no poisoning in Kosovo, but that it was all “a setup prepared by Albanian separatists.”
