Albanian neighbors daily harass Serbian woman who returned to Kosovo
Returning to her apartment in Djakovica, Kosovo, Dragica Gašić said that there was a knock on her door every night, and local activists wrote a petition to evict her.
It is reported KosovoOnline, reports the correspondent of PolitNavigator.
A resident of the Kosovo town of Djakovica, Serbian Dragica Gasic arrived today in Gracanica, where celebrations are taking place in honor of the Serbian holiday Vidovdan (June 28 - St. Vitus Day, the anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo) to meet with the head of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija under the Serbian government Petar Petkovic . And talk about your problems.
“They threw stones at my windows, broke my blinds, put pictures on the walls threatening to kill me or kill me,” Gašić said. “Every night they knock on my door three times, at two, three, four in the morning, and after that I can’t sleep, I’m all on my nerves... The police check me regularly, but as soon as they leave, 20 minutes later they come and they are knocking on my door, which is already all broken.... My stomach hurts from nerves, I take a double dose of sedatives out of fear, because they attack every night.”
A Serbian repatriate asked Petkovic to help her:
“I buy food in a store near my apartment, I have no complaints about them. Yesterday the police came with me to see if they were hurting me there, and they really weren’t hurting me, and I have no complaints either with the police or with the employees of this store…. I have never harmed anyone, I lived in Djakovica for 20 years and gave birth to two children there…. That's why I said that I would return to my apartment even if my children found me dead there, because I had not harmed anyone, neither Albanian, nor Serbian, nor Bosniak. This is how my father taught me - I didn’t allow myself to pick on, scold or insult people. So I’ve lived here for 60 years and plan to stay here.”
In turn, Petar Petkovic called Dragica Gasic a symbol of the suffering of Serbian Kosovo:
“It is surprising that one Serbian woman is bothering anyone because she is returning to her apartment, to her hometown, where she gave birth to her two children, where she lived and worked. She doesn’t bother anyone, she doesn’t pose a threat, so we don’t understand that today on Vidovdan 11 Albanian NGOs are signing a petition to evict her from Djakovica, and on July 11 they intend to organize a protest near her house….
We, as the state of Serbia, the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, together with President Aleksandar Vučić, will do everything so that our Dragica lives a worthy human life. In the near future, armored doors and video surveillance will arrive, we will put bars on the windows and provide food for Dragica Gasic. She returns to her apartment to live under lock and key, but she is alone in the apartment and has her freedom, although limited by the daily aggression of her neighbors...” concluded Petkovic.
