The population is evicted from their homes and people are killed like rats. Yesterday, 36 Albanians were sentenced to death and killed on the spot. Not a day goes by without a horrible death.

There were 38 cisterns in the province of Skopje, which were filled with the bodies of Albanians. All the fugitives, about 700-800 people, all young people, gathered near the Kumanovo station and, bound, were killed and dismembered as if they were wild animals. (p. 185)
In the district of Prishtina, during the period 18 October - 12 November alone, 5000 (five thousand) Albanians disappeared from Serbian mass terrorism.

(p. 186)
In the vicinity of Gjilan the massacres involved entire villages. In the 29 villages of Karadak, 280 farms were set on fire and all those who failed to escape were killed by bullets and bayonets of Serb soldiers. The villages of Terste, Senica, Verban, Lusishtë and Gjylekatë, became arenas of a great bloodshed. 280 men were massacred here mercilessly. A woman and her Catholic companion were burned alive in Sefer. In Gjylekata, a pregnant woman had her bayonet torn open and her baby taken out. In Presta, Serbs set fire to the entire village, a total of 90 rural households. In Trestenik 60 Albanians were killed, in Smirë 32, in Verban 20, in Lubishtë 19, in Komoglava, which numbers about 50 houses, almost all the men were killed.

In Bitola, Serb soldiers took and burned alive, each of 10 men, women or children. (F.188-189)
In Gjakova, writes the Serbian publicist Tomic, on both sides of the road I saw only burnt villages. The streets were filled with tripods on which the bodies of Albanians were hung. (p. 189)
Serbian officers declared that the most effective way to pacify Albania was the total extermination of Muslim Albanians… (p. 189)
In many villages houses were burned… Men were killed in front of their wives and children, then mothers were forced to attend the spectacle of the massacre of their children, who were cut to pieces ... (p. 189)
The last months of 1912 mark one of the peaks of the Serbian genocide in the body of the Albanian nation, a genocide perpetrated directly by the ruling circles of Serbia, as well as through the promotion and support of the anti-Albanian genocide of Montenegro and Greece, which have spared the knife, the bullet, the fire, for the mass extermination of the Albanians. (p. 190)
The number of those killed without guilt reaches 30,000 (thirty thousand) people, the press reported. And here we are talking only about the massacres in the vilayet of Kosovo, without including those in the vilayets of Manastir, Shkodra and Ioannina. Also, this figure does not include those killed with weapons in their hands. " (p. 190)

We have in mind a savage nation: the Serbian nation. (I am talking about that time and that generation. Today's Serbian generation remains to be seen.) Officers and soldiers who kill, massacre, burn captive people! Connected people! Do mothers, brothers, sisters, children have their own children, these officers and these Serbian soldiers ?! Are it people themselves, these living beings, these creatures dressed in clothes, who kill people in this way ?! Have these living beings, even educated ones, cultivated any kind of humanism during their schooling ?! What about their families, have they ever been told about human virtues ?! Who has poisoned these people like this ?! Is it the Serbian Orthodox Church that has turned its believers, with false saints, against other nations and against other faiths ?!
This is the range of questions that the human reader comes to mind when reading these passages of a documentary book. But, the human reader can not help but list a number of other questions.

Why did not those hundreds of thousands of Albanians have the right protection, in the face of such savages ?! What were the Albanians doing at the time when a monstrous Albanian-hate atmosphere was being conceived in Belgrade ?! With tillage ?! With the birth and growth of children ?! But with the work of organization as a nation and as the owner of these lands, were the Albanians taken ?! By writing his own language! By educating children in their own language! By writing books, by publishing newspapers in his own language! (Pictures from pashtriku.org)
