Čikatova, Drenas 17 April, 2025
After paying homage in Poklek, the acting Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, continued to Čikatove e Vjetër, where he paid homage in commemoration of the Čikatova Massacre. With the laying of flowers and a minute of silence, the 25 Albanians who were killed and massacred by Serbian forces 26 years ago today were honored.
In an effort to erase the traces of the crimes, the bodies of the Čikatova Massacre were taken by the Serbian armed forces and sent to the mass grave in Rudnica, Raška, Serbia.
The Prime Minister reiterated that these crimes cannot be erased or forgotten. Eternal is the memory of the great sacrifice for freedom and eternal is the memory of all the fallen and martyrs of the nation.
