Hundreds of temporarily displaced Serbs also visited graveyards in other parts of Kosovo-Metohija so as to pray for their loved ones before the beginning of the Easter Lent.
Three buses with exiled Serbs visited the city graveyard in Piskote near Djakovica.
The visit passed without incident though with the usual verbal insults and was overseen by the Kosovo police, among whom were police officers of Serbian nationality as well.
Serbs from Pec, Vitomirce, Decani and other parts of northern Metohija also visited the graves of their loved ones and afterwards paid a visit to monasteries Visoki Decani and Pecka Patrijarsija.
The Coordinating Centre for Kosovo-Metohija organised these trips on the occasion of the Zadusnice Day (the day of memorial services for the dead). Over 2,000 exiles were able to visit graveyards in more than 30 places throughout Kosovo-Metohija.
Around midnight last night, convoys of buses with exiles set off towards the province form larger towns in central Serbia and, for the first time, from Montenegro towards Pristina, Pec, Prizren, Djakovica, Klina, Istok, Gnjilan and other towns. According to received information, no serious incidents have been recorded so far.
