On April 25, 2025, graffiti allegedly praising the KLA was reported in the village of Gorazdevac, calling them “provocative” and “threatening” to the local Serb community. While the incident was presented as part of a deliberate campaign to intimidate Serbs in their settlements. (here)
Also, on 28 April 2025, an incident was reported in the village of Gorazhdec, where a house in the village was reportedly stoned. The incident was presented as “ethnically motivated” and part of a wider wave of provocations against Serbs. (here)
So, both cases were interpreted by the Office for Kosovo in the Government of Serbia as a plan by the Government of Kosovo for "ethnic cleansing" of Serbs from their settlements.
"KLA" graffiti and stone-throwing of a house in Gorazdeć
On the morning of April 25, 2025, graffiti appeared in the village of Gorazhdec that, according to reports in some media and official Serbian reactions, “glorify the KLA” and are considered a deliberate provocation against the Serbian community in Kosovo. It is further stated that although the incident was reported to the “so-called Kosovo Police”, the authorities did not pay due attention to it.
However, the daily reports of the Kosovo Police for that day do not contain any official announcement about this incident.
Meanwhile, on April 28, 2025, several Serbian media outlets and official sources reported on an incident in the village of Gorazhdec, where the windows of a village house were broken after stone-throwing. This action was described as a “new ethnically motivated incident against Serbs” and presented as a direct consequence of “Pristina’s extremist policy” as well as the “silence of the international community”, which, according to them, has not condemned any of the incidents that occurred in this area.
The claim suggests that this attack is part of a series of deliberate and organized actions to intimidate the Serbian community in Kosovo, and that the lack of international response constitutes a “permanent stain” on their stance on the security of Serbs in the enclaves.
Both incidents are described as part of an organized scenario, without providing verifiable evidence or independent sources supporting a direct link between the graffiti and the stoning of a house in Gorazdevac and any centralized policy of “cleansing” Serb enclaves. The lack of confirmed information from local authorities or any international institution makes this narrative rely more on political interpretations than on proven facts.
Hibrid.info has previously covered similar claims and conspiracy theories related to incidents in Serb-majority settlements, as well as graffiti or inscriptions with names such as “KLA”. In most cases, the perpetrators of these acts have not been identified, and there is no concrete evidence that they are linked to any organized structure or official policy of Kosovo institutions.
