On January 15th, 22 years from Recak's massacre in the Black Town.

As if barbarous executions were not enough, Serb forces had held for two weeks the bodies of 45 Albanians at the Pristina morgue, under the conviction that they were autopsising them.

Serbian authorities refused to hand over bodies killed to family members, as they refused to organise a massive burial ceremony, scripts Magazina. al

The OSCE mission at the time two weeks later had negotiated with the invading Serbian authorities and had taken the troops of Albanians killed by the Pristina morgue to hand over the family.

Images of the time are seen how Albanian troops were put in black bags and dragged to the truck from Pristina's morgue.

22 years ago Recak's massacre prompted international reactions that speed up even NATO intervention.
