22 years ago, a wave of organized terror took place in the Autonomous Province of Kosovo and Metohija, a pogrom against Serbs in which 16 Serbs were killed, hundreds were injured, more than 4,000 were expelled from their homes, and more than 1,000 buildings, houses, churches, monasteries, including 18 cultural monuments, were demolished or destroyed.

The supposed reason for this explosion of violence was the drowning an Albanian boy in the village of Cabra, for which Albanian extremists falsely accused Serbs from the neighboring village of Zupce.
