Preševo Albanians remove Serbian, display Albanian flag

Democratic Union of the Valley president Skender Destani meanwhile expressed his dissatisfaction with the act, and said it left him “surprised, depressed and offended”. He told journalists that had he seen the flag removed and replaced, he would’ve left the Albanian Flag Day celebrations. He also asked for the authorities to establish who is responsible for the event.

Local Albanians gathered in Bujanovac, however, chose to place the Albanian flag alongside the Serbian, displayed on the municipal parliament building.

Some 2,000 local Albanians, mostly elementary and high school students, took part in the ceremonies in Preševo.

The organizers played the Albanian national anthem, after which the gathering paid tribute to the dead members of the officially disbanded Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac Liberation Army (UCPMB).

The stage holding the choir collapsed at the end of the ceremony, but no one was injured.
