Suffering
of Kosovo Serbs under the
Tito's and post-Tito's regime (1945-1989)
INTERNATIONAL
PRESS ON KOSOVO BEFORE THE TIME OF MILOSEVIC
From this selection of articles one can see that the
treatement of the Kosovo problem was quite different before and that
the troubles of Kosovo Serbs in the Albanian dominated Autonomous
Province of Kosovo were a concrete and serious problem and not a fiction
as it is usually dismissed now
Kosovo problem as seen by NYT journalist David Binder in 1987
Kosovo for Absolute Beginners
In
order to realize their dream of independent Kosovo (or Greater Albania)
Kosovo Albanian nationalists after the WW2 have employed various methods
of pressure against the Serb Orthodox population.Monasteries were
terrorized and exposed to looting and desecrations, Serb Christian
cemeteries were destroyed and desecrated, holy sites were set on fire.
The Serbs were under constant pressure to sell their property and
leave Kosovo. Many thousands of Serbs eventually left Kosovo which
was presented by Albanians as economic migration to more developed
north Serbia. In fact the process of ethnic cleansing was going on
and no one could stop it. Milosevic in 1989 tried to reverse the process
using the methods of a police state which has only given a new impetus
to Albanian independence claims and left Kosovo Serbs in a more desparate
situation. After the war in Kosovo 1999 and the deployment of UN Mission
and KFOR the pressures against the remaining Serbs were continued
in the international presence, exactly by same methods which were
used in the past but now without any kind of restraint.
VARIOUS
METHODS OF PERSECUTION
Abbes Hilaria in the Monastery of the Holy Trinity. Albanian
dominated police gave her no
protection from criminals who were attacking and looting the monastery.
A hunting rifle and a few shots
in the air was the only way to deter the attackers on her convent
Serb Orthodox cemeteries were systematically desecrated
in order to make
the Serbs leave the province
Many old tombs were overturned or broken into peaces
The charred walls of the Patriarchate Monastery Refectory
which was burned by Albanian extremists in 1981
The attack on the heart of the Serb Orthodox Church -
Pec Patriarchate
had to make clear to the Serbs that they must leave Kosovo
The nuns of Devic sruggled to survive on the ruins of
their monastery after the WW2
Going
more into the past we can see that the life of Christian Orthodox population
in today's Kosovo was even harder
