Quit telling of experiences in the battle of Hizira

The commander of the disverzanto-Viserator battalion at Kostunica Battle, Anton Quinn, has related interesting details about one of the most glorious battles fought against Serbian forces.

Quni shows that the “Kostare Battle” was a must to open a corridor that would connect Kosovo with Albania.

He says that all groups operating at the time, such as the Defence Ministry, the commander of the Dukagjin Zone at the time, Ramush Haradinaj, and all other elements, were united.

Quinn reports that the operation had begun on April 9, 1999, when at three o'clock in the morning, the first units had infiltrated the enemy's back.

About six o'clock, a deceitful fire was opened, and after a few minutes the main attack had begun. The enemy was caught unawares, and we took the element of surprise to the maximum of”.

The commander of the disverberant-vague battalion in the Battle of Kosare shows that there was another operational role in that battle, and that one with his platoon had gone from the Papaj village to the country known as the Kosare Pit, as it was a strategic place from which he could get a good view.

“In the place where we were going the Serb forces had a force from somewhere a platoon, while the group I led was about a platoon and the force report was one-on-one. Agim Ramadani as chief of staff was inside my unit for those moments, and the objective was to take the object to the Kosare Plain because it had a pretty good view of the ground and thus to assure the Chief of Staff to coordinate all actions. The idea was that after the capture of the Agim Ramadani facility, he would move into his role by Commander”.

Quinn shows at that action they had come close to Serbian forces up to 20m and had asked them to surrender according to international conventions.

The day was tiring, rainy, and snowy. But with the decline of darkness, temperatures plummeted, and we improvised several small fires to heat up and spend the night. About 12: 00 p.m., I was with Dawn in my arms, and a fellow warrior woke us up. At that moment we realized that we could not stay overnight. The only chance was a nearby shack, but it was too exposed to the enemy. I talked to Agim and we decided to risk it, he told me <x1... we'd rather die of fire than of cold”.

“ ...In that cabin we found some blankets, some sleeping bags didn't have room for anyone. It was also a cottage. It was a military dog of Serbian forces. We forced the dog out and two three soldiers were deployed. It was one of the worst nights. There we embraced each other to create some warmth”, Quinn said at RTV Dukagujini.

Quinn further shows that the plans were for the barracks to be taken on the third day, but according to him, as it was so cold in the Yunik Mountains, they intensified fire and efforts to get the barracks first.

“We called on Serbian forces to surrender, even offering international mediation. But they simply did not trust us. They hoped that they would be saved by outside forces, but they too were very well isolated, and we gave them an opportunity to leave. They came out, but they did not know that further surprises lay ahead of them. We took the barracks and found warmth, little food, armaments, various equipment”, further confesss Anton Kuni one of the “Battles of Kosare”.
