Hallaq i Vogël and Rufc i Ri, Lipjan, 19 April 2025
In the morning hours, the Acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, paid homage in Hallaq i Vogël and Rufc i Ri, in commemoration and honor of the martyrs from these two villages of the Municipality of Lipjan.
On 19 April 1999, Serbian armed forces shot and executed 20 Albanian civilians in Hallaq i Vogël, who were massacred and burned in their homes. All of them were then buried in a mass grave.
Prime Minister Kurti, together with elected members of Parliament, laid fresh flowers at the memorials erected for the victims and their graves, and visited the site where this barbaric crime took place 26 years ago.
