The return of the purged ethnic Albanians
in the summer of 1999 to their homes in Kosovo
was not always peaceful. No longer protected
by the Serbian military, Serb villagers found
themselves attacked by angry Albanians who
flooded back into Kosovo in droves once the
Serbian army was forced out. In Prizen, an
old city in southwest Kosovo, some returning
ethnic Albanians began torching Serbian homes
in the area, as well as harassing Albanians
and Gypsies who were thought to have helped
the Serbs. In Bagoslavia, a walled Serbian
Orthodox seminary in downtown Prizren, 22
ethnic Albanians, 11 Gypsies, and around 150
Serbs took refuge. |
