83 Albanian Loyalists murdered by the KLA)
(John, 14 February 2011 09:07)

can you provide any proofs on this???

What a GREAT JOB.

I am very very happy if this happened.

Traitors in war are always executed in all times in all nations.

I hope all the rest of these traitor pork’s were then killed in 1999-2000 - the one that Marty wants me to cry for - NO WAY!!!

Thanks John: I sincerely hope you can provide any proof that KLA killed 83 traitors.

It will increase my admiration for KLA to the stars.

While the Serbian butchers were killing my loved one; burning my house; raping my loved ones there were Albanians helping them – and finally KLA patriots gave to these porks what they deserve???

WHAT A GREAT AND HONOUARABLE ACT OF KLA.

Please do provide some sort of proof that this happened.
(ben, 14 February 2011 12:20)

Sorry, got the Massacre wrong, the 83 were killed as a result of the Nato Bombardment on refugee convoys, however, I was referring to the 68 Killed at Markovac by the KLA under the command of Rrustem Mustafa. Sources: J. Steele Guardian article July 1999 and Serbian Archives; It was also cited in a BBC program.

The other KLA Massacres of Albanians include.

45 at Kotlina
39 at Kacanik
34 at Glodjane (Likely under Hardinaj's command)
30 at Djakovica (bombed by Nato under KLA direction)
22 at Klecka (Under Ceku's Command)
7 at Kosovo Polje
5 at Gologovac
4 at Decani (possibly in combat)
1 Suad Qorraj murdered by Hardinaj himself

There were also 420 Albanians (KFOR investigations showed most of them to be loyalists) murdered from June 1999 - June 2000 after KLA occupation
and 65 in Pec, 30 of which have been found, Under either Hardinash or Drini's orders

I just have to make a comment on your writing "a New Day"

You talk about "ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality"

Here is NEW YORK TIMES (so don't tell me it's Serbian propaganda) article written on Nov 1st, 1987

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/01/world/in-yugoslavia-rising-ethnic-strife-brings-fears-of-worse-civil-conflict.html

"Ethnic Albanians in the Government have manipulated public funds and regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs."

"Slavic Orthodox churches have been attacked, and flags have been torn down. Wells have been poisoned and crops burned. Slavic boys have been knifed, and some young ethnic Albanians have been told by their elders to rape Serbian girls."

Anyone remembers this statement?

"In one incident, Fadil Hoxha, once the leading politician of ethnic Albanian origin in Yugoslavia, joked at an official dinner in Prizren last year that Serbian women should be used to satisfy potential ethnic Albanian rapists. After his quip was reported this October, Serbian women in Kosovo protested, and Mr. Hoxha was dismissed from the Communist Party."

"While 200,000 Serbs and Montenegrins still live in the province, they are scattered and lack cohesion. In the last seven years, 20,000 of them have fled the province, often leaving behind farmsteads and houses, for the safety of the Slavic north."

For the SAFETY "a New Day"!

It also paints picture of "oppressed Albanian minority"

"Ethnic Albanians already control almost every phase of life in the autonomous province of Kosovo, including the police, judiciary, civil service, schools and factories. "

And Army?

"...the army leadership is extremely reluctant to become involved in what is, in the first place, a political issue."

That was written in New York Times in 1987.

Now for this statement...

"The "premptive" strikes were neither an overnight decision nor a surpise. There were 4 UNSC resolutions passed over a years time trying to stop the Serbia violence in Kosovo, there were many, many, many, meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end. "

There were many, many, many meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end?
But, I guess, he just kept on fighting? Wanting to resolve issue by force?

Let's take a look.
KLA started its campaign by killing 8 women and children who were refugees from Croatia. And they kept fighting. And we know who was supporting these guys. Here is one picture taken in 1997.

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7337/610xbi.jpg

KLA continued its attacks until it forced Yugoslavian security forces to take out their strongholds in spring operations in 1998. KLA was on the run and in Albania.

UN came into action with several resolutions. You are talking about 4, but there were 3.

March 31 1998 UN Resolution 1160

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/090/23/PDF/N9809023.pdf?OpenElement

Was it passed to "stop Serbian violence in Kosovo" as you say?

"Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police forces against
civilians and peaceful demonstrators in Kosovo, as well as all acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army or any other group or individual and all external
support for terrorist activity in Kosovo, including finance, arms and training."

According to this UN resolution there was an "excessive use of force" by Serbian police, but also "acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army" which you somehow missed.

Resolution also "Affirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."

Page 2 of the resolution.

"1. Calls upon the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia immediately to take the
further necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue and to implement the actions indicated in the Contact Group
statements of 9 and 25 March 1998;
2. Calls also upon the Kosovar Albanian leadership to condemn all
terrorist action, and emphasizes that all elements in the Kosovar Albanian
community should pursue their goals by peaceful means only;"

Milosevic acted upon 1. he invited Ibrahim Rugova to direct talks "necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue"
Rugova refused to talk about anything except independence.
Is this what you mean by "many, many, many" meetings with Milosevic? Ones that nobody came to talk? Face it - nobody wanted to negotiate anything. Just grant me all my demands! Even if it is against UN resolution "sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."
Milosevic tried to talk as per 1.
Can't remember that Albanian leadership's condemnation of terrorist actions and decision to "pursue their goals by peaceful means only."

Anyway.
Ceasefire was brokered.
Two more UN resolutions were passed to allow for OSCE Verification Mission to enter Kosovo and verify end of hostilities.
Those resolutions were UN 1199 (Sep 23 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/279/96/PDF/N9827996.pdf?OpenElement

and

UN 1203 (Oct 24 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/321/21/PDF/N9832121.pdf?OpenElement

Armed forces returned to "their regular duties" as it was demanded. OSCE Mission came in.

How did that go you can see here. It's enough to watch just few minutes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRSA_wobHU

Notice how Army withdrew, and KLA moved forward, and what Agim Ceku said.
I suspect that the whole ceasefire deal was only there to give KLA a break.
Milosevic maybe did not want to stop violance, but KLA certainly didn't.

On December 15 1998 31 Albanians were killed on the border crossing, while they were smuggling weapons. Same day 6 Serbian youngsters were killed in caffe bar "Panda" in Pec (by unknown perpertrators).
In "Panda" case Walker condemned the attack but stressed he is not condemning KLA, as nobody was sure it was work of KLA.
In "borderfight" case "perpertrators" were known. He strongly condemned Yugoslavian Army for "leaving the barracks in violation of ceasefire agreement. Action that lead to loss of life."
Serbian leadership argued that ambush was made by Border Patrol units on "their regular duties" (which is not te be in barracks, but to patrol the border) as text of resolution called for.

In fact, it was the KLA that violated resolution, ones again.


"Condemning all acts of violence by any party, as well as terrorism in
pursuit of political goals by any group or individual, and all external support
for such activities in Kosovo, including the supply of arms and training for
terrorist activities in Kosovo, and expressing concern at the reports of
continuing violations of the prohibitions imposed by resolution 1160 (1998)"

"Any group....including supply of arms..."

This story was repeated many times.

And since, ceasefire wasn't holding, because it was violated by KLA, and since there was no political dialogue because Albanian leadership didn't want to talk at all, NATO decided to bomb Serbia!
In order to stop KLA attacks, I guess.

Or in order to stop Serbian violence as you claim?
There was violence mentioned in UN resolution after all.

""Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police..."

How serious it was?
In 2000 British Parliamentary Committee have finished its report on pre-bombing time in Kosovo. It concluded that total number of deaths in Kosovo was around 2000, only narrowly more Albanians than Serbs.
Still....majority of civilians were killed by Serbs, right?
Wrong. Most of Albanians were also killed by KLA. They were considered "collaborators" with Serbian authorities, and killed for being in government jobs and trying to feed their families. Mailmen, forest rangers, etc.
Report concluded that MAJORITY of civilian victims were victims of KLA.
If we can trust British.

Only today world's "free press" is allowed to mention this here and there.
Here is from British Daily Mail written just more then month ago.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1339015/Tony-Blairs-friend-Kosovan-PM-Hashim-Thaci-bizarre-monster.html

"But both Mr Blair and the ­Clinton administration tended to ignore atrocities committed by Hashim Thaci’s Kosovo ­Liberation Army. Of the 2,000 people killed on both sides in the year before the U.S.-British bombing began, a significant minority were Serbs."

And yes, they mention this too.

"A UN report later said that 90 Serb ­villages in Kosovo had been ­ethnically cleansed in the months leading up to March 1999"

UN report does so and also some other things. But I wouldn't write more now. This is long enough.
UN? If I'm pro-Albanian, I wouldn't mention it.

Whether there was actual ethnic cleansing or not I guess depends on whether you believe the numbers have to be at 100,000 killed or 10,000 killed or wait until it hits 6 million. But for the sake of argument if it was only ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality, and not a "cleansing campaign", does that paint a prettier picture for you?
(a New Day, 13 February 2011 22:06)

There are several problems with that

1. There arent 6 Million Albanians in Kosovo and Never was (there arent even 6 Million Albanians in Albania).
2. There Were Albanians fighting in the Yugoslav Army
3. The KLA were killing Albanians loyal to Yugoslavia (the Largest massacre of the war was 83 Albanian Loyalists murdered by the KLA)

I believe the final tally was 2500-3000. Many of which were KLA terrorists/'freedom fighters'. I can't even guess how many were killed by KLA for not joining their camp (Albanians have claimed this). Also how many of them died from the bombings themselves. So stop trying to use your false figures for more propoganda. Your masters (NATO &USA) have already admitted that those figures were 100% MADE UP!

Of all the possible war crimes imaginable and committed by whoever in the wars of the Balkans (or anywhere else for that matter), nothing tops kidnapping, moving and torturing civilians and remove their organs to be sold on the black market. Many 'freedom fighters' or terrorists around the world that become politicians later have blood on their hands but this is unthinkable of being acceptable.

just a simple request then

pre 13 godina

a new day is suggesting that preemptive strikes are good by nature. without sufficient proof simply saying something like "before the crime we'll arrest you" is very orwellian. i'm happy that you feel lack of justification is justified, so then it should be against thachi too right? even after nato interventions, many reports have shown that there was no policy of ethnic cleansing, which is what nato claimed. when a reality is built upon false foundation that reality isn't very stable.
this in no way means that kosovo should belong to serbia, nor does it mean that it should be free. that is tangential to the serious issue of "claim and truth". nato bomb serbia relentlessly on a claim of ethnic cleansing. the truth as it has evolved is that orders of magnitude more ethnic serbs have been removed, peacefully and violently from kosovo than have ethnic albanians.
at the end of the day all surviving members would like to close these chapters of their lives, and all should be, but it is likely that fewer and fewer will get this closure that they so sorely desire as time goes on.
the issue at hand is weather accusations are enough to incriminate, and take action, either political or militaristic. in short the answer must be no. in a democratically slanted country and international organizations it is unconscionable to proceed with aggression when there has been no solid evidence, no real proof, simply speculation and hearsay. for in a democratic system innocence is assumed before guilt and the size of the presumed guilt is not relevant no matter how much a bleeding heart wants to claim it is. once cannot be held accountable to something that one didn't do. planning is also not sufficient because most every nation, group and person has a variety of contingency plans, and some of those are extreme outliers that fall into the 1% of 1% case. plans that are just envisioned without a serious attempt at implementation. every country has plans for such cases. america has plans to deal with each and every country, and each and every state, or sub organization if said collection displays words or actions that go against america's initiatives and direction. america is not alone in this. england is ready in case scotland wants to make waves. canada is ready if quebec does. and some of these plans that have only seen the light of a room behind closed doors involve violence and sanctions (neo-liberal violence -- we didn't do anything to them, they starved themselves by not listening).
so, back to the original point. if you can prove that milosevic had a plot, or was implementing a plot to clear kosovo of its ethnic albanian population without resorting to the tired and old propaganda, i'll accept it. if you can provide marty's evidence against thachi, demonstrating that he was involved with organ trading, drug ring, human trading, prostitution, and whatever dark bad things a mafia does (part of the accusation), i'll accept that too.
i am 100% certain that there are very few, if any, clean leaders from that era and region, but that doesn't mean they are dirty because i don't have any proof other than what i've heard from various coworkers and acquaintances from the various regions of the balkans. i have no proof, nor have i seen any, that would irrefutably put some of the bigger fish away.
if you continue to spew propaganda it becomes the truth and perhaps that is what scares some people the most. not the truth, but the illusion of truth. as i can see, much of the rteailty of the balkans is veiled under an immense illusion of truth. sure there is truth sprinkled within the illusion, otherwise it would be to easy to see through it, but much of what is called 'fact' is in fact fiction. i will not venture into the reciprocal without being an agent of propaganda.

As to motive you have to ask the US. Why did the EU shove this “shit under the carpet?” that’s simple. You would never have believed their propaganda if all of this was in the open. Confidence in the west; don’t have any because they are just as bad or worse than their “bogey men”. These western idealists, upholders of justice and all the rest of the BS you regularly hear commit heinous crimes but your media never discloses this fact. They just constantly point the finger at someone else to distract their population.
The only confidence you should have is in yourself and never with any European government(s).

@Terry-Why did EU and US turn blind eye, you ask. Good reason, it is much simple then investigate. Serbs victim did not matter much and mocking Serbs was actually fashionable. Serbs were screaming for truth as who and why started Kosovo war, but Albanian propaganda was organized so well that Serbs stood no chance.

As for those screaming for proof of Tachi's crimes, they will come in time. They are catching Serbs even when someone points the finger and keep them for years w/no proof and that is OK, right?

Pete

pre 13 godina

Resorting to crass threats and denials when faced with serious accusations generally implies you have something to hide. Those who are innocent should not fear the truth. Screaming about lack of evidence and smearing Marty with being a Serb apologist worthy of Goebbels, only justifies the suspicion that something truly evil happened to Serb and other prisoners who disappeared back in 1999. There are numerous images and testimony of the grisly deeds of KLA fighters during the attack on Serbia by NATO. It's time for Albanians to recognise that they have plenty of blood on their hands too.

With absolutely no evidence to show for his two years of "investigating", Marty's days of credibility are numbered, along with Switzerland's reputation. It is clear that the accusations of organ trading are just another example of the unscrupulous methods used by Serbia, historically, to discredit others and divert attention away from her "indiscretions". If there was any truth to the story, then some sort of evidence would have been found by now! This is the reason Serbia will have to wait a very long time before being allowed to join the EU. Serbia simply does not have a European perspective.

Just because intervention took place before the movement reached dynamic proportions does not mean it was not warranted.

Their are well established claims that the KLA killed their own brother Albanians if they did not support the separatist movement. Let's wait and see what evidence is presented in future trials, before we jump to conclusions. I know that many Albanians here counter claims of KLA atrocities, with claims of Serbian atrocities, but that leads to no where. I hope all sides will find the peace that they deserve.

for all of those bashing marty's lack of evidence in front of your internationally important desks can you please rummage in that pile of yours to find the evidence dated back to early winter 1999 showing that serbia was committing an ethnic cleansing exercise in kosovo. i know all about the propaganda, but according to osce and their documentation there was no visible, and thus likely non-existent policy of ethnic cleansing. osce has even shown that the fabled operation horseshoe was fabricated. and it is upon these unproven accusations that kosovo came into being as a nation. so, as i said, for you "truth seekers" please find this truth out too. if you're so worried about marty's possible propaganda, wouldn't you then too be worried about kosovo's propaganda, the one that started it all?
it is really hard to claim any legitimate moral high ground when your foundation is based upon a mountain of lies and propaganda, much like you claim marty's report is.
i've always wondered where the proof was but assumed that it would have been provided at some point. it seems that proof couldn't be provided for the 1999 nato intervention, and it's still unclear if any can be provided for marty's report.
but let first things be first. 1999 then 2010 please. chronological is just the easiest isn't it?

Wow, does this guy, in your face, says it like it is, or what? Even if the case does not proceed from this point, it is a small victory for the victims and their families, in the fact that it is exposing the criminal behavior that came out of Brussels. They were/are in essence accomplices. To a degree, the Eurocrats disgust me more than Thaci. I can only shake my head, and ask myself what kind of a world do we live in, where politicians can turn their heads and play deaf and dumb, when they knew such horrific crimes were being committed? And, Serbian government wants to join this immoral club, the EU? I feel sick to my stomach.

Marty is legendary. I really like his style. He allows someone to let their guard down and then he seeks the truth. I remember when he first started his investigation and claimed he didn't believe something like organ trafficking could happen and then comes up with his report.

Yes, we all know Thaci is a criminal of the worst kind. We know EULEX, the EU and the US (NATO) are all part of the joint criminal enterprise.

While Serbia was clamping down on Thaci and his gang's terrorism, the US and EU (NATO) thought it appropriate to remove Serbian forces and allow crime of the worst kind to flourish. It's no wonder "Kosova" and Albania are the worst, poorest and least developed regions in Europe.

Well done Marty, keep up the excellent work and let the truth be known. Lets expose the joint criminal enterprise for what it is. Lets establish an independent investigative team who are loyal to truth and justice, not some geopolitical goals and let get witness protection be established ASAP.

pre 13 godina

for all of those bashing marty's lack of evidence in front of your internationally important desks can you please rummage in that pile of yours to find the evidence dated back to early winter 1999 showing that serbia was committing an ethnic cleansing exercise in kosovo. i know all about the propaganda, but according to osce and their documentation there was no visible, and thus likely non-existent policy of ethnic cleansing. osce has even shown that the fabled operation horseshoe was fabricated. and it is upon these unproven accusations that kosovo came into being as a nation. so, as i said, for you "truth seekers" please find this truth out too. if you're so worried about marty's possible propaganda, wouldn't you then too be worried about kosovo's propaganda, the one that started it all?
it is really hard to claim any legitimate moral high ground when your foundation is based upon a mountain of lies and propaganda, much like you claim marty's report is.
i've always wondered where the proof was but assumed that it would have been provided at some point. it seems that proof couldn't be provided for the 1999 nato intervention, and it's still unclear if any can be provided for marty's report.
but let first things be first. 1999 then 2010 please. chronological is just the easiest isn't it?

Confidence in the west; don’t have any because they are just as bad or worse than their “bogey men”. These western idealists, upholders of justice and all the rest of the BS you regularly hear commit heinous crimes but your media never discloses this fact. They just constantly point the finger at someone else to distract their population.

Resorting to crass threats and denials when faced with serious accusations generally implies you have something to hide. Those who are innocent should not fear the truth. Screaming about lack of evidence and smearing Marty with being a Serb apologist worthy of Goebbels, only justifies the suspicion that something truly evil happened to Serb and other prisoners who disappeared back in 1999. There are numerous images and testimony of the grisly deeds of KLA fighters during the attack on Serbia by NATO. It's time for Albanians to recognise that they have plenty of blood on their hands too.

Maybe the still missing Albanians met their doom at the hands of the KLA? Maybe they were the independent voices that did not side with Thaci, and were eliminated? Their are well established claims that the KLA killed their own brother Albanians if they did not support the separatist movement. Let's wait and see what evidence is presented in future trials, before we jump to conclusions. I know that many Albanians here counter claims of KLA atrocities, with claims of Serbian atrocities, but that leads to no where. I hope all sides will find the peace that they deserve.

Of all the possible war crimes imaginable and committed by whoever in the wars of the Balkans (or anywhere else for that matter), nothing tops kidnapping, moving and torturing civilians and remove their organs to be sold on the black market.

Sreten

pre 13 godina

I just have to make a comment on your writing "a New Day"

You talk about "ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality"

Here is NEW YORK TIMES (so don't tell me it's Serbian propaganda) article written on Nov 1st, 1987

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/01/world/in-yugoslavia-rising-ethnic-strife-brings-fears-of-worse-civil-conflict.html

"Ethnic Albanians in the Government have manipulated public funds and regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs."

"Slavic Orthodox churches have been attacked, and flags have been torn down. Wells have been poisoned and crops burned. Slavic boys have been knifed, and some young ethnic Albanians have been told by their elders to rape Serbian girls."

Anyone remembers this statement?

"In one incident, Fadil Hoxha, once the leading politician of ethnic Albanian origin in Yugoslavia, joked at an official dinner in Prizren last year that Serbian women should be used to satisfy potential ethnic Albanian rapists. After his quip was reported this October, Serbian women in Kosovo protested, and Mr. Hoxha was dismissed from the Communist Party."

"While 200,000 Serbs and Montenegrins still live in the province, they are scattered and lack cohesion. In the last seven years, 20,000 of them have fled the province, often leaving behind farmsteads and houses, for the safety of the Slavic north."

For the SAFETY "a New Day"!

It also paints picture of "oppressed Albanian minority"

"Ethnic Albanians already control almost every phase of life in the autonomous province of Kosovo, including the police, judiciary, civil service, schools and factories. "

And Army?

"...the army leadership is extremely reluctant to become involved in what is, in the first place, a political issue."

That was written in New York Times in 1987.

Now for this statement...

"The "premptive" strikes were neither an overnight decision nor a surpise. There were 4 UNSC resolutions passed over a years time trying to stop the Serbia violence in Kosovo, there were many, many, many, meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end. "

There were many, many, many meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end?
But, I guess, he just kept on fighting? Wanting to resolve issue by force?

Let's take a look.
KLA started its campaign by killing 8 women and children who were refugees from Croatia. And they kept fighting. And we know who was supporting these guys. Here is one picture taken in 1997.

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7337/610xbi.jpg

KLA continued its attacks until it forced Yugoslavian security forces to take out their strongholds in spring operations in 1998. KLA was on the run and in Albania.

UN came into action with several resolutions. You are talking about 4, but there were 3.

March 31 1998 UN Resolution 1160

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/090/23/PDF/N9809023.pdf?OpenElement

Was it passed to "stop Serbian violence in Kosovo" as you say?

"Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police forces against
civilians and peaceful demonstrators in Kosovo, as well as all acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army or any other group or individual and all external
support for terrorist activity in Kosovo, including finance, arms and training."

According to this UN resolution there was an "excessive use of force" by Serbian police, but also "acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army" which you somehow missed.

Resolution also "Affirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."

Page 2 of the resolution.

"1. Calls upon the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia immediately to take the
further necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue and to implement the actions indicated in the Contact Group
statements of 9 and 25 March 1998;
2. Calls also upon the Kosovar Albanian leadership to condemn all
terrorist action, and emphasizes that all elements in the Kosovar Albanian
community should pursue their goals by peaceful means only;"

Milosevic acted upon 1. he invited Ibrahim Rugova to direct talks "necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue"
Rugova refused to talk about anything except independence.
Is this what you mean by "many, many, many" meetings with Milosevic? Ones that nobody came to talk? Face it - nobody wanted to negotiate anything. Just grant me all my demands! Even if it is against UN resolution "sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."
Milosevic tried to talk as per 1.
Can't remember that Albanian leadership's condemnation of terrorist actions and decision to "pursue their goals by peaceful means only."

Anyway.
Ceasefire was brokered.
Two more UN resolutions were passed to allow for OSCE Verification Mission to enter Kosovo and verify end of hostilities.
Those resolutions were UN 1199 (Sep 23 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/279/96/PDF/N9827996.pdf?OpenElement

and

UN 1203 (Oct 24 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/321/21/PDF/N9832121.pdf?OpenElement

Armed forces returned to "their regular duties" as it was demanded. OSCE Mission came in.

How did that go you can see here. It's enough to watch just few minutes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRSA_wobHU

Notice how Army withdrew, and KLA moved forward, and what Agim Ceku said.
I suspect that the whole ceasefire deal was only there to give KLA a break.
Milosevic maybe did not want to stop violance, but KLA certainly didn't.

On December 15 1998 31 Albanians were killed on the border crossing, while they were smuggling weapons. Same day 6 Serbian youngsters were killed in caffe bar "Panda" in Pec (by unknown perpertrators).
In "Panda" case Walker condemned the attack but stressed he is not condemning KLA, as nobody was sure it was work of KLA.
In "borderfight" case "perpertrators" were known. He strongly condemned Yugoslavian Army for "leaving the barracks in violation of ceasefire agreement. Action that lead to loss of life."
Serbian leadership argued that ambush was made by Border Patrol units on "their regular duties" (which is not te be in barracks, but to patrol the border) as text of resolution called for.

In fact, it was the KLA that violated resolution, ones again.


"Condemning all acts of violence by any party, as well as terrorism in
pursuit of political goals by any group or individual, and all external support
for such activities in Kosovo, including the supply of arms and training for
terrorist activities in Kosovo, and expressing concern at the reports of
continuing violations of the prohibitions imposed by resolution 1160 (1998)"

"Any group....including supply of arms..."

This story was repeated many times.

And since, ceasefire wasn't holding, because it was violated by KLA, and since there was no political dialogue because Albanian leadership didn't want to talk at all, NATO decided to bomb Serbia!
In order to stop KLA attacks, I guess.

Or in order to stop Serbian violence as you claim?
There was violence mentioned in UN resolution after all.

""Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police..."

How serious it was?
In 2000 British Parliamentary Committee have finished its report on pre-bombing time in Kosovo. It concluded that total number of deaths in Kosovo was around 2000, only narrowly more Albanians than Serbs.
Still....majority of civilians were killed by Serbs, right?
Wrong. Most of Albanians were also killed by KLA. They were considered "collaborators" with Serbian authorities, and killed for being in government jobs and trying to feed their families. Mailmen, forest rangers, etc.
Report concluded that MAJORITY of civilian victims were victims of KLA.
If we can trust British.

Only today world's "free press" is allowed to mention this here and there.
Here is from British Daily Mail written just more then month ago.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1339015/Tony-Blairs-friend-Kosovan-PM-Hashim-Thaci-bizarre-monster.html

"But both Mr Blair and the ­Clinton administration tended to ignore atrocities committed by Hashim Thaci’s Kosovo ­Liberation Army. Of the 2,000 people killed on both sides in the year before the U.S.-British bombing began, a significant minority were Serbs."

And yes, they mention this too.

"A UN report later said that 90 Serb ­villages in Kosovo had been ­ethnically cleansed in the months leading up to March 1999"

UN report does so and also some other things. But I wouldn't write more now. This is long enough.
UN? If I'm pro-Albanian, I wouldn't mention it.

Whether there was actual ethnic cleansing or not I guess depends on whether you believe the numbers have to be at 100,000 killed or 10,000 killed or wait until it hits 6 million. But for the sake of argument if it was only ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality, and not a "cleansing campaign", does that paint a prettier picture for you?

There are several problems with that

1. There arent 6 Million Albanians in Kosovo and Never was (there arent even 6 Million Albanians in Albania).

(a New Day, 13 February 2011 22:06)

I believe the final tally was 2500-3000. Many of which were KLA terrorists/'freedom fighters'. I can't even guess how many were killed by KLA for not joining their camp (Albanians have claimed this). Also how many of them died from the bombings themselves. So stop trying to use your false figures for more propoganda. Your masters (NATO &USA) have already admitted that those figures were 100% MADE UP!

With absolutely no evidence to show for his two years of "investigating", Marty's days of credibility are numbered, along with Switzerland's reputation. It is clear that the accusations of organ trading are just another example of the unscrupulous methods used by Serbia, historically, to discredit others and divert attention away from her "indiscretions". If there was any truth to the story, then some sort of evidence would have been found by now! This is the reason Serbia will have to wait a very long time before being allowed to join the EU. Serbia simply does not have a European perspective.

Yes everybody knew that Thaci was defending his counry against the Criminals from Serbia.The same Criminals you Serbs were fighting in the streets of Belgrade and handed them over to Hague(some of them )Thaci is clean from crimes 100%.

just a simple request then

pre 13 godina

a new day is suggesting that preemptive strikes are good by nature. without sufficient proof simply saying something like "before the crime we'll arrest you" is very orwellian. i'm happy that you feel lack of justification is justified, so then it should be against thachi too right? even after nato interventions, many reports have shown that there was no policy of ethnic cleansing, which is what nato claimed. when a reality is built upon false foundation that reality isn't very stable.
this in no way means that kosovo should belong to serbia, nor does it mean that it should be free. that is tangential to the serious issue of "claim and truth". nato bomb serbia relentlessly on a claim of ethnic cleansing. the truth as it has evolved is that orders of magnitude more ethnic serbs have been removed, peacefully and violently from kosovo than have ethnic albanians.
at the end of the day all surviving members would like to close these chapters of their lives, and all should be, but it is likely that fewer and fewer will get this closure that they so sorely desire as time goes on.
the issue at hand is weather accusations are enough to incriminate, and take action, either political or militaristic. in short the answer must be no. in a democratically slanted country and international organizations it is unconscionable to proceed with aggression when there has been no solid evidence, no real proof, simply speculation and hearsay. for in a democratic system innocence is assumed before guilt and the size of the presumed guilt is not relevant no matter how much a bleeding heart wants to claim it is. once cannot be held accountable to something that one didn't do. planning is also not sufficient because most every nation, group and person has a variety of contingency plans, and some of those are extreme outliers that fall into the 1% of 1% case. plans that are just envisioned without a serious attempt at implementation. every country has plans for such cases. america has plans to deal with each and every country, and each and every state, or sub organization if said collection displays words or actions that go against america's initiatives and direction. america is not alone in this. england is ready in case scotland wants to make waves. canada is ready if quebec does. and some of these plans that have only seen the light of a room behind closed doors involve violence and sanctions (neo-liberal violence -- we didn't do anything to them, they starved themselves by not listening).
so, back to the original point. if you can prove that milosevic had a plot, or was implementing a plot to clear kosovo of its ethnic albanian population without resorting to the tired and old propaganda, i'll accept it. if you can provide marty's evidence against thachi, demonstrating that he was involved with organ trading, drug ring, human trading, prostitution, and whatever dark bad things a mafia does (part of the accusation), i'll accept that too.
i am 100% certain that there are very few, if any, clean leaders from that era and region, but that doesn't mean they are dirty because i don't have any proof other than what i've heard from various coworkers and acquaintances from the various regions of the balkans. i have no proof, nor have i seen any, that would irrefutably put some of the bigger fish away.
if you continue to spew propaganda it becomes the truth and perhaps that is what scares some people the most. not the truth, but the illusion of truth. as i can see, much of the rteailty of the balkans is veiled under an immense illusion of truth. sure there is truth sprinkled within the illusion, otherwise it would be to easy to see through it, but much of what is called 'fact' is in fact fiction. i will not venture into the reciprocal without being an agent of propaganda.

Sorry, got the Massacre wrong, the 83 were killed as a result of the Nato Bombardment on refugee convoys, however, I was referring to the 68 Killed at Markovac by the KLA under the command of Rrustem Mustafa. Sources: J. Steele Guardian article July 1999 and Serbian Archives; It was also cited in a BBC program.

The other KLA Massacres of Albanians include.

45 at Kotlina
39 at Kacanik
34 at Glodjane (Likely under Hardinaj's command)
30 at Djakovica (bombed by Nato under KLA direction)
22 at Klecka (Under Ceku's Command)
7 at Kosovo Polje
5 at Gologovac
4 at Decani (possibly in combat)
1 Suad Qorraj murdered by Hardinaj himself

There were also 420 Albanians (KFOR investigations showed most of them to be loyalists) murdered from June 1999 - June 2000 after KLA occupation
and 65 in Pec, 30 of which have been found, Under either Hardinash or Drini's orders

Marty is legendary. I really like his style. He allows someone to let their guard down and then he seeks the truth. I remember when he first started his investigation and claimed he didn't believe something like organ trafficking could happen and then comes up with his report.

Yes, we all know Thaci is a criminal of the worst kind. We know EULEX, the EU and the US (NATO) are all part of the joint criminal enterprise.

While Serbia was clamping down on Thaci and his gang's terrorism, the US and EU (NATO) thought it appropriate to remove Serbian forces and allow crime of the worst kind to flourish. It's no wonder "Kosova" and Albania are the worst, poorest and least developed regions in Europe.

Well done Marty, keep up the excellent work and let the truth be known. Lets expose the joint criminal enterprise for what it is. Lets establish an independent investigative team who are loyal to truth and justice, not some geopolitical goals and let get witness protection be established ASAP.

for all of those bashing marty's lack of evidence in front of your internationally important desks can you please rummage in that pile of yours to find the evidence dated back to early winter 1999 showing that serbia was committing an ethnic cleansing exercise in kosovo. i know all about the propaganda, but according to osce and their documentation there was no visible, and thus likely non-existent policy of ethnic cleansing. osce has even shown that the fabled operation horseshoe was fabricated. and it is upon these unproven accusations that kosovo came into being as a nation. so, as i said, for you "truth seekers" please find this truth out too. if you're so worried about marty's possible propaganda, wouldn't you then too be worried about kosovo's propaganda, the one that started it all?
it is really hard to claim any legitimate moral high ground when your foundation is based upon a mountain of lies and propaganda, much like you claim marty's report is.
i've always wondered where the proof was but assumed that it would have been provided at some point. it seems that proof couldn't be provided for the 1999 nato intervention, and it's still unclear if any can be provided for marty's report.

Resorting to crass threats and denials when faced with serious accusations generally implies you have something to hide. Those who are innocent should not fear the truth.

Their are well established claims that the KLA killed their own brother Albanians if they did not support the separatist movement. Let's wait and see what evidence is presented in future trials, before we jump to conclusions.

the comments here and elsewhere only proove the albanians are what everyone says they are.Instead of condemning criminals like thavci and haradinaj and making their lives better, they defend these scum.They unstead condemn men who are honest and brave enough to bring these animals to justice.Incase you fools didnt notice ,in the allegations albanians were also killed.Do you think for a second these gangsters wouldnt kill you or your family for profit.God bless Kosmet.

You are wrong, Ivan. Everyone that wants the truth to be told, and the families of the victims, want to know what Thaci did. As for Mladic, he is accuse of crimes in Bosnia. A separate trial is waiting for him at the Hague. This story is about the atrocities committed by Thaci and the KLA. Do you understand that?

'Commenting on first UNMIK Chief Bernard Kouchner’s reaction to a reporter’s question about the human organ trafficking, Marty said: “A man who laughs at such a horrific topic says a lot about himself”.

My thoughts exactly. Thank you for exposing the truth Mr. Marty, and exposing Kouchner for the kind of scumbag that he is. Let's remind everyone of what kind of excuse for a human being is Kouchner...

The "premptive" strikes were neither an overnight decision nor a surpise. There were 4 UNSC resolutions passed over a years time trying to stop the Serbia violence in Kosovo, there were many, many, many, meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end.
Whether there was actual ethnic cleansing or not I guess depends on whether you believe the numbers have to be at 100,000 killed or 10,000 killed or wait until it hits 6 million. But for the sake of argument if it was only ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality, and not a "cleansing campaign", does that paint a prettier picture for you?
(a New Day, 13 February 2011 22:06)

There are several problems with that

1. There arent 6 Million Albanians in Kosovo and Never was (there arent even 6 Million Albanians in Albania).
2. There Were Albanians fighting in the Yugoslav Army
3. The KLA were killing Albanians loyal to Yugoslavia (the Largest massacre of the war was 83 Albanian Loyalists murdered by the KLA)

You didn't state any proof but just a list.

Anyhow if what you say is true I am honered by KLA. It seams that those traitor pigs have got what they deserve.

just a simple request then

pre 13 godina

a new day is suggesting that preemptive strikes are good by nature. without sufficient proof simply saying something like "before the crime we'll arrest you" is very orwellian. i'm happy that you feel lack of justification is justified, so then it should be against thachi too right? even after nato interventions, many reports have shown that there was no policy of ethnic cleansing, which is what nato claimed. when a reality is built upon false foundation that reality isn't very stable.
this in no way means that kosovo should belong to serbia, nor does it mean that it should be free. that is tangential to the serious issue of "claim and truth". nato bomb serbia relentlessly on a claim of ethnic cleansing. the truth as it has evolved is that orders of magnitude more ethnic serbs have been removed, peacefully and violently from kosovo than have ethnic albanians.
at the end of the day all surviving members would like to close these chapters of their lives, and all should be, but it is likely that fewer and fewer will get this closure that they so sorely desire as time goes on.
the issue at hand is weather accusations are enough to incriminate, and take action, either political or militaristic. in short the answer must be no. in a democratically slanted country and international organizations it is unconscionable to proceed with aggression when there has been no solid evidence, no real proof, simply speculation and hearsay. for in a democratic system innocence is assumed before guilt and the size of the presumed guilt is not relevant no matter how much a bleeding heart wants to claim it is. once cannot be held accountable to something that one didn't do. planning is also not sufficient because most every nation, group and person has a variety of contingency plans, and some of those are extreme outliers that fall into the 1% of 1% case. plans that are just envisioned without a serious attempt at implementation. every country has plans for such cases. america has plans to deal with each and every country, and each and every state, or sub organization if said collection displays words or actions that go against america's initiatives and direction. america is not alone in this. england is ready in case scotland wants to make waves. canada is ready if quebec does. and some of these plans that have only seen the light of a room behind closed doors involve violence and sanctions (neo-liberal violence -- we didn't do anything to them, they starved themselves by not listening).
so, back to the original point. if you can prove that milosevic had a plot, or was implementing a plot to clear kosovo of its ethnic albanian population without resorting to the tired and old propaganda, i'll accept it. if you can provide marty's evidence against thachi, demonstrating that he was involved with organ trading, drug ring, human trading, prostitution, and whatever dark bad things a mafia does (part of the accusation), i'll accept that too.
i am 100% certain that there are very few, if any, clean leaders from that era and region, but that doesn't mean they are dirty because i don't have any proof other than what i've heard from various coworkers and acquaintances from the various regions of the balkans. i have no proof, nor have i seen any, that would irrefutably put some of the bigger fish away.
if you continue to spew propaganda it becomes the truth and perhaps that is what scares some people the most. not the truth, but the illusion of truth. as i can see, much of the rteailty of the balkans is veiled under an immense illusion of truth. sure there is truth sprinkled within the illusion, otherwise it would be to easy to see through it, but much of what is called 'fact' is in fact fiction. i will not venture into the reciprocal without being an agent of propaganda.

Of all the possible war crimes imaginable and committed by whoever in the wars of the Balkans (or anywhere else for that matter), nothing tops kidnapping, moving and torturing civilians and remove their organs to be sold on the black market. Many 'freedom fighters' or terrorists around the world that become politicians later have blood on their hands but this is unthinkable of being acceptable.

I believe the final tally was 2500-3000. Many of which were KLA terrorists/'freedom fighters'. I can't even guess how many were killed by KLA for not joining their camp (Albanians have claimed this). Also how many of them died from the bombings themselves. So stop trying to use your false figures for more propoganda. Your masters (NATO &USA) have already admitted that those figures were 100% MADE UP!

I just have to make a comment on your writing "a New Day"

You talk about "ethnically motivated murder, torture, displacement, rapes, and brutality"

Here is NEW YORK TIMES (so don't tell me it's Serbian propaganda) article written on Nov 1st, 1987

http://www.nytimes.com/1987/11/01/world/in-yugoslavia-rising-ethnic-strife-brings-fears-of-worse-civil-conflict.html

"Ethnic Albanians in the Government have manipulated public funds and regulations to take over land belonging to Serbs."

"Slavic Orthodox churches have been attacked, and flags have been torn down. Wells have been poisoned and crops burned. Slavic boys have been knifed, and some young ethnic Albanians have been told by their elders to rape Serbian girls."

Anyone remembers this statement?

"In one incident, Fadil Hoxha, once the leading politician of ethnic Albanian origin in Yugoslavia, joked at an official dinner in Prizren last year that Serbian women should be used to satisfy potential ethnic Albanian rapists. After his quip was reported this October, Serbian women in Kosovo protested, and Mr. Hoxha was dismissed from the Communist Party."

"While 200,000 Serbs and Montenegrins still live in the province, they are scattered and lack cohesion. In the last seven years, 20,000 of them have fled the province, often leaving behind farmsteads and houses, for the safety of the Slavic north."

For the SAFETY "a New Day"!

It also paints picture of "oppressed Albanian minority"

"Ethnic Albanians already control almost every phase of life in the autonomous province of Kosovo, including the police, judiciary, civil service, schools and factories. "

And Army?

"...the army leadership is extremely reluctant to become involved in what is, in the first place, a political issue."

That was written in New York Times in 1987.

Now for this statement...

"The "premptive" strikes were neither an overnight decision nor a surpise. There were 4 UNSC resolutions passed over a years time trying to stop the Serbia violence in Kosovo, there were many, many, many, meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end. "

There were many, many, many meetings with Milosevic to find a peaceful end?
But, I guess, he just kept on fighting? Wanting to resolve issue by force?

Let's take a look.
KLA started its campaign by killing 8 women and children who were refugees from Croatia. And they kept fighting. And we know who was supporting these guys. Here is one picture taken in 1997.

http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/7337/610xbi.jpg

KLA continued its attacks until it forced Yugoslavian security forces to take out their strongholds in spring operations in 1998. KLA was on the run and in Albania.

UN came into action with several resolutions. You are talking about 4, but there were 3.

March 31 1998 UN Resolution 1160

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/090/23/PDF/N9809023.pdf?OpenElement

Was it passed to "stop Serbian violence in Kosovo" as you say?

"Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police forces against
civilians and peaceful demonstrators in Kosovo, as well as all acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army or any other group or individual and all external
support for terrorist activity in Kosovo, including finance, arms and training."

According to this UN resolution there was an "excessive use of force" by Serbian police, but also "acts of terrorism
by the Kosovo Liberation Army" which you somehow missed.

Resolution also "Affirming the commitment of all Member States to the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."

Page 2 of the resolution.

"1. Calls upon the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia immediately to take the
further necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue and to implement the actions indicated in the Contact Group
statements of 9 and 25 March 1998;
2. Calls also upon the Kosovar Albanian leadership to condemn all
terrorist action, and emphasizes that all elements in the Kosovar Albanian
community should pursue their goals by peaceful means only;"

Milosevic acted upon 1. he invited Ibrahim Rugova to direct talks "necessary steps to achieve a political solution to the issue of Kosovo
through dialogue"
Rugova refused to talk about anything except independence.
Is this what you mean by "many, many, many" meetings with Milosevic? Ones that nobody came to talk? Face it - nobody wanted to negotiate anything. Just grant me all my demands! Even if it is against UN resolution "sovereignty and
territorial integrity of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia."
Milosevic tried to talk as per 1.
Can't remember that Albanian leadership's condemnation of terrorist actions and decision to "pursue their goals by peaceful means only."

Anyway.
Ceasefire was brokered.
Two more UN resolutions were passed to allow for OSCE Verification Mission to enter Kosovo and verify end of hostilities.
Those resolutions were UN 1199 (Sep 23 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/279/96/PDF/N9827996.pdf?OpenElement

and

UN 1203 (Oct 24 1998)

http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N98/321/21/PDF/N9832121.pdf?OpenElement

Armed forces returned to "their regular duties" as it was demanded. OSCE Mission came in.

How did that go you can see here. It's enough to watch just few minutes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urRSA_wobHU

Notice how Army withdrew, and KLA moved forward, and what Agim Ceku said.
I suspect that the whole ceasefire deal was only there to give KLA a break.
Milosevic maybe did not want to stop violance, but KLA certainly didn't.

On December 15 1998 31 Albanians were killed on the border crossing, while they were smuggling weapons. Same day 6 Serbian youngsters were killed in caffe bar "Panda" in Pec (by unknown perpertrators).
In "Panda" case Walker condemned the attack but stressed he is not condemning KLA, as nobody was sure it was work of KLA.
In "borderfight" case "perpertrators" were known. He strongly condemned Yugoslavian Army for "leaving the barracks in violation of ceasefire agreement. Action that lead to loss of life."
Serbian leadership argued that ambush was made by Border Patrol units on "their regular duties" (which is not te be in barracks, but to patrol the border) as text of resolution called for.

In fact, it was the KLA that violated resolution, ones again.


"Condemning all acts of violence by any party, as well as terrorism in
pursuit of political goals by any group or individual, and all external support
for such activities in Kosovo, including the supply of arms and training for
terrorist activities in Kosovo, and expressing concern at the reports of
continuing violations of the prohibitions imposed by resolution 1160 (1998)"

"Any group....including supply of arms..."

This story was repeated many times.

And since, ceasefire wasn't holding, because it was violated by KLA, and since there was no political dialogue because Albanian leadership didn't want to talk at all, NATO decided to bomb Serbia!
In order to stop KLA attacks, I guess.

Or in order to stop Serbian violence as you claim?
There was violence mentioned in UN resolution after all.

""Condemning the use of excessive force by Serbian police..."

How serious it was?
In 2000 British Parliamentary Committee have finished its report on pre-bombing time in Kosovo. It concluded that total number of deaths in Kosovo was around 2000, only narrowly more Albanians than Serbs.
Still....majority of civilians were killed by Serbs, right?
Wrong. Most of Albanians were also killed by KLA. They were considered "collaborators" with Serbian authorities, and killed for being in government jobs and trying to feed their families. Mailmen, forest rangers, etc.
Report concluded that MAJORITY of civilian victims were victims of KLA.
If we can trust British.

Only today world's "free press" is allowed to mention this here and there.
Here is from British Daily Mail written just more then month ago.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1339015/Tony-Blairs-friend-Kosovan-PM-Hashim-Thaci-bizarre-monster.html

"But both Mr Blair and the ­Clinton administration tended to ignore atrocities committed by Hashim Thaci’s Kosovo ­Liberation Army. Of the 2,000 people killed on both sides in the year before the U.S.-British bombing began, a significant minority were Serbs."

And yes, they mention this too.

"A UN report later said that 90 Serb ­villages in Kosovo had been ­ethnically cleansed in the months leading up to March 1999"

UN report does so and also some other things. But I wouldn't write more now. This is long enough.
UN? If I'm pro-Albanian, I wouldn't mention it.

83 Albanian Loyalists murdered by the KLA)
(John, 14 February 2011 09:07)

can you provide any proofs on this???

What a GREAT JOB.

I am very very happy if this happened.

Traitors in war are always executed in all times in all nations.

I hope all the rest of these traitor pork’s were then killed in 1999-2000 - the one that Marty wants me to cry for - NO WAY!!!

Thanks John: I sincerely hope you can provide any proof that KLA killed 83 traitors.

It will increase my admiration for KLA to the stars.

While the Serbian butchers were killing my loved one; burning my house; raping my loved ones there were Albanians helping them – and finally KLA patriots gave to these porks what they deserve???

WHAT A GREAT AND HONOUARABLE ACT OF KLA.

Please do provide some sort of proof that this happened.
(ben, 14 February 2011 12:20)

Sorry, got the Massacre wrong, the 83 were killed as a result of the Nato Bombardment on refugee convoys, however, I was referring to the 68 Killed at Markovac by the KLA under the command of Rrustem Mustafa. Sources: J. Steele Guardian article July 1999 and Serbian Archives; It was also cited in a BBC program.

The other KLA Massacres of Albanians include.

45 at Kotlina
39 at Kacanik
34 at Glodjane (Likely under Hardinaj's command)
30 at Djakovica (bombed by Nato under KLA direction)
22 at Klecka (Under Ceku's Command)
7 at Kosovo Polje
5 at Gologovac
4 at Decani (possibly in combat)
1 Suad Qorraj murdered by Hardinaj himself

There were also 420 Albanians (KFOR investigations showed most of them to be loyalists) murdered from June 1999 - June 2000 after KLA occupation
and 65 in Pec, 30 of which have been found, Under either Hardinash or Drini's orders
