The full post of Lecaj journalist where he relates the whole story:

A story of pain and pride for the little Aldenis who escaped the slaughter of evil!

(Find two minutes and read through)

Shortly after the war (July 1999) at the place called “The Geracian spoon”, a few miles above my village of Brezone (the Dragas municipality), near the Kosovo-Albania border, in a mass cemetery had been found the bodies of six Albanian women, who, in turn, did not belong to the municipality of Dragas.

In the mass grave, except for the bodies and items of the victims, a bottle of baby boyry filled with milk (see photo below).

Nobody knew what had happened to the child because he wasn't in the mass grave. The event was shot by an amateur camera by my fellow villagers. They made sure to find out where they belonged and had performed the work with honor to the end.

But I will tell you my confession.

In 2007, after I started working on television, my fellow villager Missin Shala offered me images shot in the mass grave and personally, I made a documentary film “The Lugu of things”, of the tale of women who were from the village of Studencan and the Suhareka village.

There I learned about the entire thrilling history of the Ternje massacre, where six Albanian women were killed.

There I met a generous, honest man, former KLA soldier Shkelzen Krasniqi, who at the mass grave had found his mother and wife.

There I also met and interviewed little Aldenis, who was 18 months during the war. The milk bottle found in the mass grave was his. But fate had wished that at the time of the massacre, he was not at his mother's side but had been with his aunt.

After finishing my documentary since 2007, I have never heard of Aldenis again.

Tonight, I learned that he has grown up to be a man and has finished the military, has become an officer in the Kosovo Army (FSK). Look at the picture below.

When I saw Aldenis' picture, as an KSF officer, I was thrilled.

I'm glad. I felt proud! My tears welled.

He rose from the ashes of war and today serves the state of Kosovo.

He will send home the trust of his mother and grandmother and his cousins, who were brutally murdered by the Serbian army.

Aldenis, I'll call him on my show soon, share stories, for a story as painful as glorious!
