PRIŠTINA -- Several hundred Serbs driven out of Priština yesterday visited the graves of their loved ones, some for the first time since 1999.

The Kosovo Serbs forced out of Decani Djakovica and Pec; also went to the graveyards in these Metohija towns, to mark the Orthodox Christian holiday of Zadušnice (All Souls' Day).

In addition to desecrated tombstones, reports say that local Albanians subjected the Serbs to verbal threats and provocation, that included bottles thrown at them.

Those who visited the Orthodox cemetery in southern Kosovska Mitrovica also found that some 80 percent of the graves there were vandalized, but there were no incidents (of harassment).

KFOR provided escort in Priština, while Kosovo police were protecting the Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica.

This is sickening. The Albanians are trying to wipe out all evidence of Serbs ever having lived there.

This is horrible. This is the kind of future we have if we don’t stick together and refuse to be categorized by those who would exploit our natural difference.
