Result: “Recak's Massacre lied and horrible falsification”

Serbia's Minister of Internal Affairs, Allexander Vulin, has stated that the alleged “move against Albanian civilians in Kosovo, in the village of Recak, which was a key moment for launching NATO bombings on Serbian targets in 1999, is the big “and a terrible falsification”.

Voullin on December 10th, after a visit to a location near Nis where a series of events in the village of Recak in January 1999 are being conducted, said the <x0); the presidency for the massacre is a major insult to all humanity”.

“Agrition of NATO began after a terrible lie about Recak. At that time, we were neither capable nor smart to tell the whole world what a terrible lie it was. The task of this generation is to show the whole world that we were bombed and made criminals out of lies, and our children's blood is upon those who invented this lie”, they were quoted as saying Voullin according to the Interior Ministry.

He added that Serbs “will never again allow others to write for them”.

We will never again allow others to invent truth for us because the truth is on the side of the Serbian people”, Voulin said.

On January 15, 1999, Serbian police and military forces in Kosovo killed 45 Albanian civilians in the village of Recak in the Black Town. The then head of the watchdog mission of the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe, William Walker, who visited the site of the massacre, had declared that <x0 crime against humanity” had occurred there.

This crime also attracted the attention of the international community, which took steps to prevent massive human rights violations in Kosovo. On March 24, 1999, NATO bombings on Serbian targets also began, which lasted 78 days.

This is not the first time that Voulin denies Recak's Massacre. Authorities in Serbia, led by the president, Aleksandar Vuciq, call this massacre “fabricated crime”.

Recak's massacre was also part of the indictment filed by The Hague tribunal against then former Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic and several other Serbian officials. However, the trial was interrupted after Milosevic's death, and none of the other indictees were convicted of crimes committed in Recak.

Serbia's Ministry of Internal Affairs and Serbia's Radio Television are in a co-production of a six-data series called “The Kosovo File”, which, as has been warned, handles “the history of events and the fate of civilians and police in Kosovo” from 1998 to 2001.
