Excerpt from report by Montenegrin Mina news agency

Pristina, 7 May: The Pristina municipality assembly has reached a decision on building a monument and memorial park dedicated to [WWII] fascist collaborators.

This decision envisages the construction of a memorial park covering 1.5 hectares and a memorial at the place where the then Yugoslav authorities and Partisans executed fascist collaborators - members of the Second Prizren League [league was organized under the auspices of the Abwehr, German military intelligence].

According to [Belgrade-based daily] Glas javnosti, the [Second] Prizren League was founded in 1943 in Prizren at the Gestapo's initiative. [Passage omitted]

The Prizren League's involvement through its armed formations in the extermination of Kosovo Jews has been assessed as one of the most shameful episodes in Kosovo's history.
