The man who showed Recak's massacre through the camera's eye to the world

I returned to Pristina and sent the materials to the world, at eight o'clock, or nine of all images of the AP were all over the world.” So it shows, cameraman, Sylejman Kllokoqi, who made recordings and photos in Recak, and showed the world the massacre Serbian forces committed. The clown shows how with [...]

Klokoqi tells how on January 15th, he had gone to the Exhibit exit, and had heard the fighting, but had left him and many other journalists from the OSCE mission, as it was a threat to their lives.

There have been many foreign journalists on the evening of January 14th, a journalist calls me if he goes together to the Pristina hospital, as I have information that some wounded and lifeless Serb soldiers are coming. We went there and we waited an hour and we didn't see anything, and that was a signal that something was going on in Recak. The next morning, we've gone too early and we're set up as a camera on January 15th, and we've seen an O car from there. The SEU from a hill up there watching. They didn't let us get there after we were told there was fighting, I went around after and after 15 minutes, when a lot of journalists got there, bullets started going out of our heads in those moments of OSCE, and we're back to Pristina, all the time being heard fighting”, Klokoqi showed us at RTV “Dukani”

Thereafter, Klokoqi relates how on January 16 she had gone there again, and she had taken the images she needed to tell the whole world what happened at the Recze.

We met a villager and asked her that the Serbs had left the entry and that we had been waiting for some people and met the first corpse with a house, a tour, that's what the agency said soon, but even sooner send pictures into the world. I went another place and I shot some victims, and then I climbed up the hill where the bodies are, where I remember today, people were starting to wake up from sleep and looking for the bodies of their relatives. After the footage I returned to Pristina and sent materials to the world, at eight or nine o'clock all images were of the AP”, he added.
