More than two and a half decades after the war in Kosovo, authorities in the former Serbian province are moving ahead with the creation of a museum to the crimes committed by Serbian forces against Kosovo Albanian civilians at the close of the 20th century, but its proposed name – Museum of Genocide and the Struggle for Freedom – has been questioned.
Announcing the project at the end of last year, Prime Minister Albin Kurti, a former political prisoner in Serbia, described the museum as “the institutionalisation of collective memory and a testament to both the monstrous crimes of genocidal Serbia and the triumph and resilience of the Republic of Kosovo”.
An estimated 10,000 Albanians were killed and almost a million driven from Kosovo during the 1998-99 war, when Serbian forces waged a brutal campaign to crush a guerrilla insurgency that had eclipsed a decade of passive resistance against Serbian repression in the then southern province.
