24 years taken by the Meja massacre, 376 Serb forces' worst execution

24 years ago, Serbian forces surrounded the Wicked Reca and the Carragoja Lugun in the Gjakova district. Within hours was the most macabre execution and the largest massacre in Kosovo's 1998-1999 war.

In a planned operation, all roads were cut off, leaving only two roads open to Meja.

Gathering of boys and men in groups aged 15-60 began in the early hours of the morning.

In a terrible balance, 15 villages of the Gjakova district were hit, executing all boys and men from house to house. Advertisement

The Serbian Army units, police, red Berettas, paramilitaries, masked neighbours created the cordon with images of Srebrenica, executing 376 Albanian males in what is known as the day of last Yugoslavia's holiday, which was created under the blood dance of Slobodan Milosevic's lawyers on April 27th 1992.

That day none of the detainees managed to get out of Meya alive, and after the war their massacred troops, some were found in mass cemeteryes across Kosovo, while others have information that they are still somewhere around Serbia.

Despite the demands of various family members and organisations in Kosovo for their troops to return from Serbia, this has stalled by the Serbian state and has not yet been done.
