Fifteen years ago, the fact-finding Security Council team visited Krusha e Vogel

The ambassadors of the 15 UN member states visited the house where they were massacred, killed, and carbonised all 113 men in this village, from the age of 13 to the elderly.

Expected by mothers, widows and orphan children, with the names of loved ones marked on white sheets, ambassadors were informed by six surviving witnesses that the massacre, which resembles Srebrenica and Vukovar, was carried out by local Serbs.

The UN's actual collection delegation during this visit to Kosovo had met with Kosovo's leaders, minority representatives, UNMIK chief Joachim Ruecker and KFOR Commander General Roland Kather.

The delegation's chief, Belgian Ambassador Johann Verbeke, praised the two-day visit to Kosovo as successful, for having already a clearer picture of the situation on the ground.

“Setting important issues, never supposed to be preceded by time definitions. The major decisions, which come as a result of the negotiations, are natural processes and as such important issues, take time and space”, had declared Verbeke in Pristina shortly before the delegation's departure for Vienna, where it would follow the meeting with the special emissar for Kosovo status, Martti Ahtisaari.
