Hungarian and Austrian peacekeepers commemorated soldiers killed in World War I at the Austro-Hungarian military cemetery in Peć/Pejë, Kosovo. The event was held for All Saints’ Day and the Day of the Dead.

Before the ceremony, Hungarian peacekeepers tidied the cemetery grounds. The memorial was restored in 2014 with financial support from Austria and Hungary.

Lieutenant Colonel László Nánai, the contingent’s chaplain, prayed for Hungarian soldiers who died on the Balkan front during World War I and were buried at the military cemetery in Peć, then known as İpek.
