Vidovdan, a sacred day for Serbs, turned into a shameful spectacle that everyone witnessing it will remember. Right outside the Gračanica monastery, a symbol of Serbian spirituality and history, the so-called Kosovo police rudely detained the organizer of a pilgrimage group from Belgrade. V. P., the man leading the group of pilgrims wearing red, blue, and white shirts with the inscription “United Serbia,” was stopped, identified, and arrested like a criminal, while members of KFOR and the Kosovo Police Inspectorate just watched this farce unfold.
The commander of the police station in Gračanica, Bratislav Trajković, refused to explain the reason for the arrest, directing journalists to the media office instead. Is this the new way to intimidate and humiliate Serbs in the province on their most sacred day? Vidovdan is not just a date on the calendar; it’s a symbol of struggle and sacrifice. Actions like these by the so-called Kosovo police only fuel tensions and hatred.
This incident is not isolated but part of a broader context where Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija face daily injustice and discrimination. While the world stays silent and international institutions turn a blind eye, ordinary people suffer the consequences of political games. If you think this is just another Balkan story, think again. The fate of a people and their culture is at stake here.
If this story sparked even a bit of anger or disbelief in you, share your thoughts. Because if we don’t speak out against injustice, who will? And is this really the way to solve problems or just a method to deepen divisions? Vidovdan reminds us of courage and dignity, not a reason for shame and humiliation.
