Kosovo honors Recak; Albanian state despises communist massacre of Lushnja

Kosovo marks the 27th anniversary of the Racak Massacre, one of the most serious events in Kosovo's recent history. The Republic of Kosovo calls this massacre "Racak Day". Local and central institutions, together with associations, organize a series of activities in honor and memory of the victims, with the aim of preserving the historical truth and passing it on to the new generations. And thus Kosovo honors its past. It shows that the future cannot be built without honoring the past! And today my fellow Albanians of Kosovo honor their sacrifice for freedom and build peace and the future of their citizens!

These activities are held under the patronage of the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, the Speaker of the Parliament, Dimal Basha, the Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, and the Mayor of the Municipality of Shtime, Qemajl Aliu.

It is different in Albania with the massacres that the Enverists have committed in collaboration and under the guidance of the Serbian emissaries who led this terrorist formation in Albania! According to the testimonies of Xh. Staravecka, present at this collective massacre, the shootings were ordered by Mehmet Shehu and Dushan Mugosha, who was omnipotent in the I Brigade. Fiqrete Sanxhaktari (Shehu) influenced Mehmet to remove 10 "uncircumcised" from the execution row, since the balance was heavy on the Orthodox, to please Dushan. With all 12 killed in the attempt and the three others that Mehmet Shehu took with him and shot, the number of these victims reached about 80 people.

Vllas Arapi (Pelivani), a cadre of Brig. I, who came after the massacre, said to Mehmet:
“Did you shoot these people? You have shown great bravery!”
M. Shehu replied:
“This is nothing compared to what I saw in the Spanish war. Rivers of blood were shed there…”
(F. Arapi, Who was Vllas Arapi, Tirana 2000)

In this bloody civil war, it was the policy of the PKJ and the hand of its emissaries M. Popovic and D. Mugosha.
"The two cursed Serbs, who are at the head of the Albanian Communist Party, today rub their hands when they see that their propaganda, for which they were sent, did the job. Ah, what a pity! They threw the Albanian people into fratricide" - it is said in a document of that time.
(AQSH P.270 d.11 v.1943)

Even today, those who committed this massacre, those terrorists, are honored by the communist revival state with the high title "Honor of the Nation". In all the massacres that the Enverists have committed against nationalists and anti-communists, the leaders of the Albanian state are silent. The country's Prime Minister despises every sacrifice of anti-communist Albanians and honors his criminal predecessors, who under Serbian leadership waged a civil war in Albania during World War II!

When a people is free from fear, freedom soon comes to them!
A reminder TODAY, more needed than ever for Albanians all over the world!

"Albanians, stand tall in this Great Battle!"
