The Memorial Museum of the League of Prizren

"The Ottoman-era building where the League held its meetings in 1878, with documents and artefacts connected with the League and with leading figures of the 19th-century Albanian national movement. The one museum that was destroyed in the recent war was this Memorial Museum, burned down by Serbian police using shoulder-launched incendiary projectiles on 28 March 1999.... Some of the now-lost collection of the Memorial Museum of the League of Prizren is described in a bilingual Albanian/Serbian exhibition catalogue, published on the centenary of the League's foundation: Rizvanolli, Masar, Lidhja e Prizrenit, 1878-1881/Prizrenska liga, 1878-1881 (Prishtina: Arkivi i Kosovës, Muzeu i Kosovës/Arhiv Kosova, Muzej Kosova, 1978), 39 + 37 pp.: ill."
