“Two bullets in the head”, the cameraman's story that filmed the execution of Elfette Humwall

He explained that people had masks on their faces, as policemen from all over Yugoslavia were present and they used tear gas to disperse the crowd.

It's like everybody else just woke up and delivered what the papers were saying, and I, who was at the Grand Hotel, had reliable sources from Mr. Albert Goodita, who told me that today the worst situation would be in Podujevo and that we should go there to film. I worked for Sarajevo Television” at the time.

I had a tonic and driver, and when we were heading toward Podujevo we saw there were demonstrations on the side of the road in the village of Loupch the Lower, I didn't know it was called that. People had all sorts of masks on their faces because police officers from all over Yugoslavia were present and they fired tear gas. I think we've had two three interviews with some guys protesting and we haven't been around long because we went to Podujevo, where big demonstrations were happening”, he said in Klan Kosova.

I remembered the way through Podujevo from Pristina, and I went to the other side that was coming out of Podujevo. There were protests, burning tires on the street. There was a police vehicle that's similar to a tank, but has a shot. He called me a cop who was in a military uniform and ordered me to take out the camera and the tape on the tape. And ask me what you're doing here? I said I was accredited and I'm doing my job and nobody ordered me to go there. At that moment someone who was inside the police vehicle told this cop” Let this go is ours, because of the talk I noticed that the cop was from Bosnia, who recognized me because I was an active sportsman”.

So these specials probably knew me, and then the cop who stopped me returned the tape to the center of Podujevo at that moment, the tanks went out on the street and threw so many gaslots that we couldn't do anything. I filmed a few images of how lotter gas. I remember very well those scenes, and the chairman of the Yugoslav leadership that world was Raif Dizdarevicq”, he said.

Mullaomerovic also described the road until they returned to Pristina.

We were still close to those demonstrators we had met when we arrived. They were standing across the street. And we in the magistrate's words were following a massive column of military vehicles in motion. So as we were going back that column we had to stop because the cops were shooting, one in the air and the other in the direction of the people. And I remember the barricades weren't on the street. Dino and I, we got out of the car and we told Ramiz to send the hit kid to the hospital. Two more people were there.

The cameraman also remembered that Elfette Hummol had two bullets in his head.

I filmed sending the kid to the hospital, and I waited right there on the street. When they sent him to Pristina Hospital, the doctor told Ramiz, my driver Go somewhere because you're gonna have problems. He then came back to us who were waiting for him in Lower Lupq. I remember when Elfette Hummol had two bullets in his head. Then we returned to Pristina, and when I went to Pristina Television I was informed that she was dead, so they killed her, and I assumed that footage that we assembled and sent to Sarajevo”.

There were teams everywhere, Zagreb, Belgrade, Germany's ZDF, who, when they saw my footage, a German took out his wallet and told me how much money you want to give me this video. But this same one had filmed so massive protests that world with 100,000 participants and we switched videos. I told him I'd offer you this if this would help the people of Kosovo and not sell the material because it doesn't do that”.

“We spent the night in Pristina, as well I gave a statement on Pristina Television, where I said no barricade was on the street and that people have demonstrated on the side of the road. I told you I got the photos from Podujevo what happened. I think that's when the bloody war started. The next day, people from Lower Lupchi invited us to go home to them. I've felt a lot with that family because I have three daughters, my eldest has been seriously injured during the siege of Sarajevo, and my wife also”, he concluded. /Periscope
