Confession of former Kosovo delegation for Recak Massacre

Hundreds of citizens in this morning's hour headed for Recak to commemorate the 45 who fell into the massacre that awakened the conscience of the world, telling the Serbian state to stop, who ruthlessly spared neither women nor children.

Today, more than ever, the tears and pains of family members and of those who lost loved ones are felt more than ever, but today the whole world is with them, seeking righteousness

It's ex-Deputet Muharrem Nitaj, the one who was one of the witnesses who had seen terror, until through a Facebook text he relates the experiences he had felt. Until the same reported for the BBC this massacre.

This is his full post:

January 15, 1999 Recak

January 15, 1999, was like that of today, killed, with gray sky, and still without snow!

Here in the morning we received news that in a village in Shtime, Recak, (which few of us had heard) had a fever, that there were many dead and disabled, and that the country was kept surrounded by Serb forces!

It was said that Ambassador William Walker would also go to the scene, but two of us, without waiting for anyone, set off on a ramp to Recak!

The long road seemed to be 20 miles [20 km] long, for we felt that the horror we would face there was black raven!

As soon as we arrived at the crossroad of the village, the first we met were 1015 men and a tink of children, waiting to see who would go from Pristina there, as well as some people with black clothes, who, as if they were running around and who were KLA members.

Without a pair of them, each gathered around us with his own confession, and one of the men, as the oldest, took off our way to the front yard on the left of the road, climbing the slope on Recak!

In the first yard, there was a pile of a chip above us, and the man who took off the chip, and there appeared before our eyes a half-body, except in friends and under, with bones and meat around him. We were told that she had been put in the mouth of the bomb and that she broke it with half her body!

This was the first view in Recak on January 15, 1999, that would be repeated in different forms to the top of the hill. On that mountain spoon, which resembled a waterless stream but corpses lined up one after another! And the top of the mountain and a hole left of a lime oven, full of corpses... and the rest of them below, with wet skulls, broken limbs, body and soul crippled..

This was Recaw's massacre!

After all the horrors that had numbed us and our voices, we gathered around Ambassador William Walker! He would make an opinion statement. He was short as I can remember. He said that it was clear that those killed were unarmed villagers. They looked like farmers and workers! “This is a crime against humanity”, the ambassador said!

And so it was, and so did the news. I straight to the BBC with my voice shaking, the slope of the mountain over Recak, dozens massacred near and hundreds of Milosevic snipers watching us through the rifle's mole!
