Grandma Milena Pavićević, the only Serbian woman who lived in Gnjilane, has died at the age of 90.
The elderly grandmother refused to leave her Gnjilane even when the last Serb left this city, and she lived quietly and withdrawn in a dilapidated little house in the city center.
Kind people from all over Serbia and even the world helped so that the grandmother would have bread and food, but also food for the stray dogs she fed and who were her only company.
Since the grandmother lived alone and in very specific conditions, she was helped by the Center for Social Work in agreement with the Office for Kosovo and Metohija and the Temporary Authority of the municipality of Gnjilane, bringing her basic necessities, medicines, household items and books.
“After the completion of the autopsy, the Office for KiM will, together with its representatives in the field, help with the funeral of Grandma Milena,” they said from the Office for KiM.
Milena Pavićević was born on November 18, 1936 in Skopje, where her parents were on duty, and from 1946 she lived in Kosovo and Metohija.
“I have elementary school, I attended gymnasium. I never worked anywhere. I never married, I have no family. I live in the house of my maternal grandfather. The plot is a little more than an are, there is this little house built around 1970 – a hallway, a small room and a big room. The old house dates back to my great-great-grandfather or even his father, built during the Turkish time, I am the fifth or sixth generation,” Grandma Milena said in 2023.
Novosti visited her in April 2024, when she remained stuck in the jaws of bureaucracy and without a single dinar, because she could not renew her identity card that had expired.
