Family of Recak's martyrs dissatisfied with institutional care, some were forced to sell their livestock for a living

In Recak there are family members who arrive at the cemetery for every January 15th and are the first to cast clusters of flowers and wreaths, then come and other citizens from around the country, while the heads of state and politicians are not too late, come in the morning to perform their prayers.

However, family members have been delayed to support these families economically and in seeking justice for the victims of this massacre.

Without exception, all postwar governments, according to their claim, have not cared for the welfare of the surviving inhabitants.

Minire Bilalli, wife of the former KLA soldier who was killed in the Rakak massacre, Lutfi Bilalli, has confessed to her husband's murder. Shortly after she had left the village to visit her children staying in Ferizaj, he had been killed.

I've stayed with my husband here in Recak, two days before the massacre took me to Ferizaj to see the children. That's where I heard my husband was killed. That's when we came. The worst pain”, she said of EO.

Bilal points out that society has given importance to this massacre, but according to her, very few institutions have been taken into account.

“Society many are placing little importance on institutions. I'm talking about my kids having three sons and one daughter, they're in college, but they're not employed. Since he met you, they haven't been hired”, she said.

And Ismet Emini, the brother of the witness, Ajet Emini, says that residents in the village that day saw family members being slaughtered for shooting Serbs.

I got my brother killed that day. The first one was killed in a house where we were shot at”, he has told of the massacre, which, as Emine put it, will never be forgotten.

Amy said it was and it remains difficult to forget that day.

We feel this very special day. This is not to be forgotten, we've seen images that only a human can afford who else is hardly coping with what happened. They killed 45 people here without blame. They took us out, slaughtered us, did everything wrong and worse”, he said.

Amy has made it known that they have never been supported by governments to care for orphans. No bus ticket was even paid to send orphans to school.

We don't have a day where these guys are, and I'm wounded myself. Tomorrow we found dead bodies on the hill and other places where they killed them in the village. No government has done enough for them. My brother's name was Ayers. He was 38 years old, where five children died. Those five kids I raised and educated. The government has not given me a bus ticket to send to school or someone to take care of these orphans. Of all these, they sold the cow, the crane, and the horses got out on the rocks to live. Have our governments left us like this”, he said
