Kosovo Serbs evacuate cemeteries

“I am taking my mother’s earthly remains from here today, and I have to do it without even the priest present, since they told me they could not guarantee him safety,” Drašković said.

“My sister and I have decided to exhume and transfer our mother’s body since we are not allowed to visit her grave safely in Priština,” Drašković said, adding no one was willing to guarantee them safe passage and a chance to visit the graves of their mother and other loved ones buried there.

Drašković added she had undertaken the exhumation and transfer privately, without any official assistance, and will now lay her mother to rest in Belgrade.

“We will now be able to visit her grave without fear, without waiting for someone to provide escort for us, as was the case in Priština,” she concluded.
