Nikola Nedelkovic from Belgrade, who was arrested by the Kosovo Police on June 28, in Gazimestan near Pristina, for “inciting national and religious hatred”, has been sentenced to 30 days in detention, the lawyer confirmed for Radio Free Europe Jovana Fillipovi..
On June 28, several hundred Serbs from Kosovo, Serbia and countries in the region gathered in Gazimestan to mark St. Vidovdan Day.
On the same day, the Kosovo Police barred ten Montenegrin citizens from entering the territory of Kosovo, because clothes with inscriptions that “incite hatred” were found near them.
Also, some people who took part in the celebration of St. Wid’s Day in Gazimestan, in addition to Serbian flags, also wore Russian flags, as well as T-shirts with the Z mark, which is a symbol of the Russian occupation of Ukraine. Kosovo Police have confiscated the clothes with such inscriptions.
Every year, the Serbian Orthodox Church, as well as Serbs from Kosovo and the region, celebrate St. Vid Day in Gazimestan on June 28, as a reminder of the alleged suffering of Serbs in the battle against the army of the Ottoman Empire in Kosovo in 1389.
It was in Gazimestan on June 28, 1989, that the former president of Serbia, and then of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic delivered a speech in front of tens of thousands of Serbs, in which he did not rule out “armed battles”.
Milosevic’s speech was seen by many as a warning of the wars that followed in the 1990s in the former Yugoslavia.
On the same day in 2001, Milosevic was extradited to The Hague war crimes tribunal in the former Yugoslavia, which charged him with war crimes. He died in custody in 2006 before the final decision of this court.
