Bishop of Raska and Prizren Teodosije served the memorial service, after which Vulin said that the international community should admit it made a mistake by not making enough effort to discover those who ordered and carried out this pogrom against Serbs in Kosovo-Metohija, not even after nine years.
We call on the international community to rise above the prejudices against Serbia and the Serbian people and answer us who ordered and committed the March pogrom, but also tell us who killed the children in Gorazdevac, who blew up the bus in Livadice, who threw a bomb at Serb children in Mitrovica and who killed the reapers in Staro Gracko, Vulin said.
We are asked to forgive, but how can we forgive when we do not know who to forgive, if we do not know who is responsible for trafficking in human organs, if we do not know who carried out everything that led to the current situation in which the number of Serbs who came to St Nicholas Church today is far higher than the number of Serbs living in the whole of Pristina, he said.
Vulin also urged the international community to think carefully in the light of the March pogrom and this day whether the Serbs deserve to decide on their destiny and whether they are the only people in Europe that will not be able to choose its police and its judiciary.
An outdoor exhibition of photographs dubbed "Crime without Punishment. Pogrom, 17-18 March 2004, Kosovo-Metohija" was organised in Kosovska Mitrovica to mark the ninth anniversary of this outburst of violence against the Serbs.
