Citizens of the Serbian community have started coming to Gazimestan, near Obliq. Today they celebrate the Orthodox religious holiday of Vidovdan.
Members of the Kosovo Police are conducting checks, in cases where there may be t-shirts with nationalist slogans.
Last year, this holiday was not allowed to be celebrated here, but Serbian citizens gathered at the Monastery in Graçanica.
The Battle of Kosovo took place in the vicinity of Pristina in 1389 between a Balkan coalition and the Ottoman Empire, in which the Balkan coalition led by the Serbs lost, allowing the Ottoman Empire to expand further into the Western Balkans.
Serbs who also come from Serbia to Kosovo on June 28, celebrate the feast of Saint Vid, known as "Vidovdan". The celebration of this day is related to the 635th anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo, which Serbian history recognizes as a victory, despite the great loss of the Balkan forces and the murder of the Serbian prince, Lazar.
The celebration of the anniversary of the Battle of Kosovo in 1989, under the Serbian president Slobodan Milosevic, culminated in the height of nationalism in the former Yugoslavia, with the so-called declaration of the unification of Serbia, through the overthrow of the autonomy of Kosovo and the warning of the bloody wars that led in the destruction of the former Yugoslav federation.
