Prosecution looks into possible mass grave site

Kate, Jovan, Ratko, Zoran, who did this?

Several mass graves have been discovered in your backyards and you continue to deny the horrible crimes Serbs committed against Albanians in Kosovo 1998- 1999. After 12 000 killed, 20 000 Albanian women raped, 1 million Albanians expelled, Albanians in Kosovo deserve independence.

Albanians in Kosovo are still waiting for an APOLOGY from the Serbs. When will this apology come?


"“A clear trail of statements exists by Serbian politicians throughout the early 1990s testifying to this. There also exists a clear pattern of behaviour by Serbian forces working towards this goal. Ethnic cleansing was not a by-product of the wars. It was the main goal.” James Lyon

????, you cannot expect people to comment on speculation. Best wait until June.

"Some witnesses saw a vehicle unload something at that spot"

Do you have a source for the figures you quote?

Regardless of nationality or religion every citizen of this world deserves the respect of a decent burial.

To be thrown into an unmarked mass grave is such an injustice and indignity.

If this indeed is another mass grave than the Serbian Government has a lot of explaining to do. Not only to the family of the victims but the rest of the world.

I just wonder how many more skeletons are in their closet.
Please excuse that expression. No offence to the victims is intended.

As an 'International' working in this region, I have to dispute some of the figures of Albanian victims touted regualrly on threads like these. The facts are that despite the concerted effiorts by the international 'community' to find definite evidence of attrocities in Kosovo i Metohija relatively few bodies have been discoverd. Less than 4,000 in fact. This is still an appaling figure for which both sides in the conflict should be ashamed. BUT these are victims from ALL ethnic groups - not just Albanians.

There in NO evidence that 1 million Albanians fled KiM. The international institutions now agree that up to 500,000 fled, roughly equal between Serb and Albanian ethnic groups. Of these, the majority of Albanians have returned, but over 200,000 Serbs are still living in 'exile' outside of KiM.

Until such time as there is a less inflamatory approach to the attrocities commited by all sides, there will be little hope of moving on.

Perhaps those screaming for an apology for the Albanians will also support an apology to Serbs expelled from Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina?

The West owes all groups in the Balkans an apology for fermenting a war that need not have happened. KiM will get independence, even Beograd realise this, but there should be more honestly in discusing these issues, and rather less pontificating and provocation.

???? - Nobody denies that atrocities took place. Also read the UN mission reports about what the KLA has been doing to its own people as well as Serbs, Roma and others.
2,000 people were murdered or abducted following Nato's 'liberation' of Kosovo. People have been neither secure nor safe - one major failure of Resolution 1244.
Every single crime should be answered for regardless of what ethnicity the perpetrator or victim, but as Philip Davies said, you have to wait for the findings of the actual investigation.
Please don't do this black and white nonsense of saying that there is only one 'good' and one 'bad' side. No side has clean hands in this mess, and as always it's the innocents who suffer.
But this has nothing to do with the rights to chop off part of Serbia's territory.

Dear Christine, I know even now what the Serbian Government’s reactions will be, they will keep being silent as nothing has happened, like always did. Am I right Philip (Filipe)? By the way Filipe; I understand you eagerness for restrainedness off comments that might occur. Nut, what if the “speculations” become true, is that going to change the conscience of any official? It never did up to now.

This is story is utterly ludicrous.

"Some witnesses saw a vehicle unload something at that spot" and the Hague Tribunal "suspects they are Albanian victims."

Someone from Belgrade adds that "We will know very soon whether it was earth from a road being built nearby or bodies."

And when the "war crimes investigators" find nothing but rubble what will be the next news headline?

How about: "Serbs move the bodies of Albanian women and children slaughtered during Milosevic's reign of terror."

«The office of the Serbian war crimes prosecutor said authorities would begin digging at the site near the town of Raška on June 5. »

The best thing to do is to wait after the digging to make comments. Subjective allegations do not prove the veracity of an enunciation.

Well this is not the first time that bodies of killed albanians were found all over Serbia. Ok as some Serbs here ask lets wait for this mass grave until June 5 so we do not speculate about this particular case. But what about the other times when there were cases when bodies of killed albanians were found all over Serbia? what do you serbs have to say for those case that are already proven facts?
