Gazimestan speech

GAZIMESTAN - A Kosovo-Metohija Serb from Babin Most who was arrested by the so-called Kosovo Police in the Gazimestan memorial complex near Pristina on Friday has been released after questioning, his attorney has confirmed to Tanjug.

GAZIMESTAN - The so-called Kosovo Police arrested a Kosovo-Metohija Serb from Babin Most at Gazimestan, the site of the 1389 Battle of Kosovo, on Friday.

The man, identified with the initials N M, was taken out of a group of people who attended a memorial service for Serbian warriors who fell in the battle, and driven away in a police vehicle, a Tanjug correspondent reports.

Serbia's Office for Missing Persons on Wednesday said no human remains were found at the Stavalj mine near Sjenica in southwest Serbia, where it was suspected that Kosovo Albanian victims of the Kosovo war were buried.

A Serbian journalist Marija Antic has said she received death and rape threats after grilling a far-right French activist Arnaud Gouillon about his views and activism.

"The job of a journalist is to try to come to the truth. It's for the audience to accept this truth or not," Antic told BIRN.

Several thousand people on Sunday, St. Vitus Day (Vidovdan), attended a memorial service at Gazimestan, near Pristina.

In this place in 1389, 626 years ago, the Serbian army led by Prince Lazar confronted the invading Ottoman Turks. Those fallen in the battle that the Serbian state lost are referred to as Kosovo Heroes, and the Gazimestan monument is their memorial.
