Serb forces withdrew from Zlokucani over the past week, joined and then followed by members of the village's Serbian minority.
Today is freedom day.
It was a day for celebration, with people marking the moment with a gesture not unlike the post-Cold War topplings of statues of communist leaders. In Zlokucani, the use of a tractor gave the occasion a distinctly Kosovo Albanian flavor. The toppled bust was of Boro Milutinovic, a communist partisan who fought and died alongside ethnic Albanians during World War II and is considered a symbol of the joint Serb and ethnic Albanian struggle against Germany.
