""When we reached Djakovica/Gjakove, we waited all night, hoping they'd let our sons go. But they didn't come and I never saw my son, who was 22 years old at the time.""
-
"Around 10 o'clock after the Serbian forces burnt nearly all the houses and started exiting the village, I went to my house which was on fire and in front of the door I found the body of my nephew facing down."
-
""One tank positioned itself on the hill above the village and pointed its cannon toward the village. Later, with no warning, the tank shot straight at our house""
-
"We went straight to the burnt house. We went slowly inside. It smelled. We illuminated the room a bit with a lighter. Only then I realized that we were walking over the remains of bodies."
-
"Then some old men, among whom was uncle Janus, began to pray to God out loud, and then all the others did the same because they knew they were going to be executed."
-
"After that they ordered the rest of us 12 men who were left in the truck to come down. Then they told us to stand in line with our hands above our heads and they were taking us to the place where they just killed the first two groups."
-
"Before they came inside, the main guy shot in the ground and yelled "take everything out of your pockets". I ran to my mother. The women started pulling out money and jewelry, all they had with them. They took my father and five men in another room" "
-
"I think I passed out, because I couldn't remember the time or what happened in the meantime. I only heard someone saying that we should leave as there is no paramilitaries nearby. They helped me get up. I lost a lot of blood and felt dizzy. "
-
"One of the police officers addressed us:" Did you see what NATO did to us last night?, now you will pay." "
-
"They stripped them all the way down. I don’t know what happened to them, as they were held on that field, while they were leading us to Qirez."
-
"We saw Sinan’s house on fire. That moment was the hardest for me. I knew that my dearest mother, sisters, brothers and other relatives are burning in there."
-
""So I took the remains of the body (I collected the ashes and the little things that were left, earrings etc) and buried them in the village graveyard""
-
"At the beginning of June, about ten days before the Serbian forces withdrew, I saw the police open the tomb and pull out the bodies. I was watching with binoculars from the mountain. All the bodies were loaded into a military truck. "
-
"I was the penultimate person that came out of that yard, close to my father Latifa and I saw when all the men were ordered to stand on their feet and to realign."
-
"The soldier came in and pointed to Z.H. and said come with me, she went out and did not say anything. She was outside about 20 minutes"
-
"They made us lay down and told us to hand out our money unless we want to get killed. I had 100 DM that I hid in my socks. I took out the money and gave it to them."
-
"When he entered the room, I heard a stark voice from the yard saying “Throw the bomb you idiot and run”"
-
"When Shefqet went to the place where he had buried the others, he didn’t find their bodies, and this was a couple of days after a bulldozer came and dug around the place where their graves were "
-
""When we passed by the policemen, one of them said to my son: "You, go over there and give the child to someone else." – Sh.B"
-
""I knew that they shot my husband I., we were however forced to continue walking on foot in the direction of Albania." - A.H."
-
"I continued searching for my children. I took a small skull to the hallway, I didn’t know whose but it was a child’s skull. My hand turned black."
-
"In those moments, I saw that everyone around me fell to the ground. Although I wasn’t hit, I quickly fell and I pretended to be hit. "
-
"Water of the river Belaja was red of blood."
-
"They took foam rubber in the hall and lit it on fire. One of them approached from the outer side of the house, broke the window just above my head and threw the lit foam rubber into the room. At once, the dead bodies were caught in fire, as well as the whole room and the house."
-
"My father, who probably knew that we would be executed, fell to his knees in front of the commander and told him in Serbian: "Please, I'm here with my two sons. Please leave one alive because I have no more sons. " "
-
"Near H.'s body I later found 18 cartridge cases."
-
"On the road toward Gjakove, on the right side of the road I saw 7-8 men who were lying there, with their faces on the ground and hands above their heads."
-
"They put them against the wall and started searching them. Then, they told the rest of us to continue towards Pec. We didn't know what happend to the 18 men from our village."
-
"I asked her "what did they do to you?", she said "my god what happened to us, they took all my clothes off". I did not ask her anything else."
-
"It had rained incessantly. I could still hear the shelling. I slowly checked with my hand whether anyone was still alive. Other than the four of us, they were all dead."
