"The Memorial Museum of the League of Prizren was not destroyed by a 'NATO missile' but by Serbian police in March 1999 using rifle-propelled grenades." "Riedlmayer described how investigators reached their conclusions that damage was not caused by air strikes. In the case of the Museum of the Prizren League, Riedlmayer noted several facts inconsistent with damage from NATO aerial bombardment: (1) no nearby building was damaged; (2) a hit by an explosive device would have left nothing of the mud, brick, and wood construction; (4) the museum was a monument to the Albanian national movement; (3) eyewitnesses said that Serbian police destroyed the building with handheld incendiary devices; and (5) life-sized statues of the league’s founders, in back of the museum, were found in the river after the war. All of this supported the conclusion that Serbian forces on the ground had maliciously targeted the museum." 5 The Milling of Marash - Shotman The Milling of Shotman was built in 1641 and is considered to be the oldest Milling in Prizren.
