ISTOK, PEC Serbian government’s Kraljevo-based Office for Kosovo on Sunday organized a visit to cemeteries in towns of Istok and Pec for displaced Serbs. Both cemeteries have been desecrated. Displaced Serbs visit cemeteries in northwestern Kosovo In the town of Istok, where only several Serb families still live, more than 100 tombstones have been damaged and completely destroyed. “A decade of madness cannot defeat centuries,” said Kraljevo-based Office for Kosovo Director Aleksandar Erac. “In Istok, mad people had no respect for anyone, everyone’s tombstones were destroyed, regardless of the dead people’s age,” he added. The displaced Serbs lit candles and laid flowers to the graves of their loved ones. The cemetery in Pec, one of the largest Orthodox cemeteries in Kosovo, has been turned into a landfill where Albanians throw their garbage, the office stressed. “Cow heads scattered around once paved paths warn of misdoings of those whose alleged independence is recognized by more than 90 countries,” Erac noted. Vandals destroyed not only tombstones but also marble slabs and coffins and many bodies of the deceased are missing. Erac stressed that the perpetrators wanted to erase century-long existence of the Serbian people in Kosovo by desecrating the cemeteries. Tanjug
