"Shame on you" - Protest against the opening of the Serbian consulate

A group of citizens protested this Sunday in the center of Shkodra, expressing their dissatisfaction with the government, but also their opposition to the establishment of a Serbian consulate in the city.

Protesters marched through the streets of Shkodra with banners and national flags, while during speeches they declared that the opening of a Serbian consulate in Shkodra is unacceptable.

According to them, the city has no historical, economic or diplomatic ties that would justify the presence of a Serbian consulate.

They also argued that this is unacceptable also because of the crimes committed by Serbian forces during the war in Kosovo, noting that thousands of Albanians were killed and massacred during the conflict.

"They want to open a Serbian consulate in Shkodra. Shame, shame. Serbia is neither an EU country nor a leading country in Europe."

"We have fresh wounds and mass graves. We have suffered a lot, the displacement, the expulsion of an entire people ," said one of the protesters.

The protesters demanded that the authorities reconsider this decision and not allow the consulate to open in Shkodra.

During the protest, calls were also made against the government, while the demonstration took place without incident. (TCH)
