Today, Prime Minister Albin Kurti honored the memory of those lost in the Podujevë massacre, which occurred on March 28th, 1999, at the hands of the Serbian regime. Kurti expressed his profound sorrow and respect through a Facebook post. The post detailed the horrific events surrounding the deaths of 21 individuals, specifically referencing the Bogujevci, Duriqi, and Llugaliu families.
These families endured one of the most severe crimes against Albanian civilians during that period. Kurti’s statement emphasized the gravity of the situation, acknowledging it as a deeply troubling event. He highlighted the involvement of the “Scorpions” unit, a notorious group previously responsible for atrocities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including the tragic events at Srebrenica.
This unit was dispatched to Kosovo with the intention of replicating the same devastating violence. The perpetrators systematically murdered two elderly men before positioning themselves against a wall containing women and children. The remembrance march serves as a solemn occasion to reflect on these crimes and honor the victims.
Kurti’s words underscore the ongoing need to remember and to ensure that such atrocities never happen again.
