Serbian Activist Milo Kapor Erases Anti-Kosovo Graffiti in Central Belgrade: “When the Army Returns to Kosovo”

 BELGRADE, Serbia — Serbian activist Milo Kapor has painted over nationalist graffiti in central Belgrade bearing the slogan “When the Army Returns to Kosovo,” challenging Serbian territorial claims over Kosovo.

 

In a video shared by FM Images Albania, Kapor and other activists are seen wearing white painter’s suits as they cover the inscription, written in large yellow Cyrillic letters on a wall painted in the colors of the Serbian flag.

Kapor described the action as part of a broader campaign against nationalist messaging, referring to Serbia’s constitutional claim over Kosovo and political platforms that present the territory as part of Serbia.

“We’re continuing our patriotic work,” Kapor said, arguing that the wall looks “nicer and more civilized” without the slogan.

The graffiti, “Kad se vojska na Kosovo vrati,” translates as “When the Army Returns to Kosovo” and reflects nationalist rhetoric suggesting a possible return of Serbian forces to the territory.

Kosovo declared independence in 2008, but Serbia continues to reject it. Kapor’s action challenges such rhetoric in public spaces, framing opposition to territorial ambitions as a form of patriotism rather than an attack on Serbia.
