Valentina's painful story, the girl who was abused by Serbian doctors during the Kosovo war

She was the youngest child in the house, but of the six children in the Maloch family, Valentina had the saddest fate.

The 19-year-old was wounded by a Serbian sniper, on August 19th of 1998, in Ploqica in Malisheva.

Valentina's mother, Jules Maloku, relates about moments when her daughter was transported to improvised military clinics.

“E has lead rock, I've been lying on the tractor of high blood pressure. They took her to Gradica, when we went to see them with the groom, said the mother where I'm playing I never get up again, I told her if there's a doctor here full of”, says Valentina's mother, Zyle Maloku.

But, minute after minute, Valentina's condition was getting worse. For this, she was transferred to the University Clinical Centre in Kosovo.

Here, for the history student, instead of treatment, the torture and torture of Serbian doctors began.

He (the doctor) went out and got it, and he took your picture of your scream and dropped your key, said you were KLA. I told him, "Don't hit the breast, and he fell down on me, and he dropped me, he says Valentine's mother.

But even Valentina's wound seems to have had a motive.

The father, Limani, who now suffers from deminities and brother Agron, had joined the Kosovo Liberation Army.

Therefore, Valentina lying in the hospital and linked to the radiators had heard some of the Serbian police's conversations.

And for Mother there was a message.

If you don't want to see me again, you've heard them speak to”

Shortly after this conversation, Valentina Maloku passed away on September 5th of 1998, following the torture of Serbian doctors and policemen.

However, the Maloch family did not report on the causes of their daughter's death.

Hence, the withdrawal of her body from the Pristina morgue was difficult.

This was only possible with the help of human rights activist Flora Brovina and former national issue activist Nebili Balaj.

The latter relates what Valentina's father, Limani, told her when he handed her the girl's lifeless body.

I was told by you when you brought her there as if by Martina Valentine, that means they could pick up and not lose a body like most others, Balaj says.

But the case of Valentina Malokut is not the only one when Albanian patients were beaten and abused by Serb personnel at KKUK.

All these cases are summed up in this book of former QKUK surgeon Salih Krasniqi.

“10 thousand of 543 have been admitted from May 1st 98 to June 20, 99 ] of them have been Albanians, of whom have been sick, but of them a thousand and 239 patients I've handled and who, according to research, have been with suspicious diagnosis”, says former surgeon at QKUU, Salih Krasniqi.

The former surgeon, says he himself witnessed the mistreatment of Albanian patients in the QKUK clinics.

“has been connected to Yll Morina, who has operated six times. It was Gjok Ndrecsky with wounds on his belly that opened his grave with automs. It was Is Hoxha who had his cigarette put out of his body”, he said.

According to researcher and board member of Public Health Directors Jennifer Leanning “with the escalation of fighting in Kosovo, the conduct of Serbian medical and police personnel to Albanian patients has been exacerbated to the level that it can easily be called Institution Terrorism”.
