Follow up to 'Vigil of St. Vitus Day'

Although I do not have any personal pictures of the scenes at Gracinica or Gazimestan for St. Vitus Day, you can view some pictures here from Kosovo's Koha Network online newspaper. Reports say that approximately 1,500 Serbians visited these two towns, and that there were about the same number of Kosovo police officers present. No major incidents occurred, but I did see video on TV of Serbians trying to light an American flag on fire (I don't know if they were successful).
One picture on Koha net shows Harley Davidson bikers, who are part of a humanitarian event for orphaned children in Kosovo's Mitrovica municipality. The bikers rode in from Serbia but are from Montenegro and Bosnia and Herzegovina as well. This one article reports that on the morning of June 28, four bikers were attacked in Mitrovica South (the Albanian dominated side of Mitrovica), but that the injuries were not severe. This reports also states that bikers were from Australia, France, Austria, and Macedonia.

  1. Hey Brian,
    Looks like the link to the pictures is broken.

    Best,
