Falsification of history in KosovoThis is a document about the active falsification of history in the Kosovo war from 1998 when it comes to how many was killed and who they were.

An accusation of active falsification of history, consciously not telling the truth, is of course a very serious allegation that should not be used lightly,, but when it comes to the book What happened in Kosovo, documentation, there is no other way to describe it.

I have encouraged the author, the Norwegian former army officer Josef Martinsen to correct his information several times since October 2013, but instead considering this documentation, he has intensified his effort to distribute free copies of his book in English, Serbian and Albanian on his website kosovotrilogy.com.

Fortunatlely, the international community is about to wake up when it comes to war crimes committed by Kosovo Albanians against Serbs, non Albanians and fellow Albanians, as we can read about in the article Senior Kosovo Guerrillas Face Crimes Against Humanity Cases:

The EU’s Special Investigative Task Force said that unnamed “senior officials of the former Kosovo Liberation Army” will face indictments for crimes against humanity and other abuses committed after the 1999 conflict.

“These individuals bear responsibility for a campaign of persecution that was directed against the ethnic Serb, Roma, and other minority populations of Kosovo and toward fellow Kosovo Albanians who they labeled either to be collaborators with Serbs or, more commonly, simply to have been political opponents of the KLA leadership,” Clint Williamson, the lead prosecutor with the task force, told a press conference in Brussels.

This court process is supported by the European Union and the United Nations Security Council.

AcknowledgementHowever, before I write anything else, I’d like to express my appreciation to my friend Josef Martinsen who made me realize that we need to see each individual that was killed in Kosovo and the need to tell their stories in a proper and respectful way that is should be accepted by all sides of the war.

For his effort and dedication for his research I would give Martinsen an A. Too few people care about the dead and the suffering in Kosovo, and it is good that Albanian victims have a spokesman like him.

Even if Martinsen knew that I was going to be critical to his book and his research, he showed great courage when he came to present his research in Belgrade.

But when it comes to the result of Martinsen’s research, I must give him an F. Although I do believe he had the very best intentions, there are serious errors and presumptions that need to be addressed. In his book, he makes the following statement on page seven:

“this document represents close to a complete record of civilian victims and places where crimes were committed during the war in 1998-99.”

I do not believe that Martinsen would write a sentence like this if he really did not believe it, but as you will see from the documentation below, this statement is simply not true. Martinsen is far away from presenting a “close to complete record of civilian victims.”

The numbers

Below, you will see and incomplete list 434 mostly civilian names, an incomplete list of 126 police officers and three soldiers on leave that are not present in Martinsen’s list. The combined number of murdered and kidnapped police officers in 1998 and 1999 was 344.

The Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) is the highest authority when it comes to identifying victims of the Kosovo war, and they have also had major challenges with Martinsen’s work. They still have to check 1500 names, but they have not been able to document 700 of the names Martinsen has come with.

HLC receives funding from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and HLC is much delayed because they have to check Martinsen’s lists. They accepted his research initially because they thought he would be a neutral international, but I have contacted the Norwegian Foreign Ministry to explain what kind of problems Martinsen has caused.

Below, you can also read my analysis for the year 2000 when Martinsen has 603 names, and only 21 of those have been confirmed by the HLC.

Had it been 15 or 20 names that were missing or added wrongly, Martinsen would have justified such a statement, but not when we are speaking of hundreds of erroneous names.

What also weakens the argument of Martinsen’s book is that he does not write anything about Albanian crimes against non-Albanians and fellow Albanians, not even with one comma. Of course, it is legitimate to write the account of one side only, but then you cannot claim to promote reconciliation at the same time.

These crimes have been massively underreported in Western media, and unfortunately, Western media was co-opted into believing that Serbian savages were the only ones responsible for war crimes. Western audiences still need to hear the stories of the massacres and prison camps organized by the Kosovo Liberation Army, hereafter referred to as the UÇK. People in the West need to hear the stories from the Lapušnik prison camp, those kidnapped and held captive at the UÇK HQ in Mališevo and the massacres in Orahovac, Lake Radonjić and Klećka.

The first person quoted in the article about Klećka is quite interesting. His name is Christopher R. Hill, and he was the Special US Envoy to Yugoslavia and the leader of the failed Rambouillet Accords. Last year he gave me an interview, and he said something quite interesting about the importance of non-governmental organizations NGOs.

“I think one of the problems was many people in the non-governmental movements, and I would say this is one of the first wars in a long time where the press and non-governmental movements were so unified in their view to wage a war,” he told me.

Civilians and non-civilians

Martinsen’s second major mistake is that he is separating sharply between civilian and non-civilian victims. In a chaotic war, the borders between a legal combatant and an illegal are often very blurry. On Feb. 23, 1998, Robert S. Gelbard of the US State Department said: “We condemn very strongly the terrorist actions in Kosovo. The UÇK (KLA) is, without any question a terrorist group.”

On the other hand, police officers from the Serbian interior ministry, MUP, were the only legal police authority in Kosovo. Of course, when police officers commit war crimes, they must be punished according to the law, but the war in Kosovo started as a legitimate police operation to crack down on the UÇK.

Likewise, it is hard to know when an armed civilian becomes a soldier in a war. This applies to both Albanians sympathizing or joining the ranks of the UÇK or Serbians joining paramilitary structures.

In any country, a murder on a police officer is among the most serious offenses, and when Martinsen does not include police officers killed while doing their legal job in Kosovo, he cannot claim to represent the truth about what happened in Kosovo.

I met Martinsen in September 2013, and I have to give him credit because he is very open about his work. He gave me complete access to his Microsoft Excel file with the names he found. After I met Martinsen, I started analyzing his work, and in November 2013, I published the article Victims of the Kosovo war. This is a follow-up with much better quality in the research that I am presenting.

Until June 20, 1999, Martinsen’s lists contain 8627 names; of these there I counted 501 non-Albanian names. I have also made notes on Martinsen’s list, and the document with my edits where I have tried to mark the non-Albanian names is available on sorryserbia.com/files/kahrsedits.xls.

In this article, I crosschecked the number of dead people from the lists  Kosovo Chronology and Kosovo - list of Civilians murdered presumably by KLA in 1998 published on the website freerepublic.com (FR).

These are incomplete lists of about 540 killed and missing individuals, mostly before NATO went to war against Yugoslavia, where the perpetrators are alleged to be Albanian extremists. However, it is important to state that these are incomplete lists, and the reader should be aware of the stigma in Kosovo Albanian society to witness against their own. Below, I have included 148 of these found by Martinsen.

I know these are hard words, but Martinsen and his publisher, the famous Norwegian Balkan professor Svein Mønnesland and his publishing house Sypress forlag operated by Mønnesland’s wife Kirsten Mønnesland are obstacles to reconciliation and a common understanding of history that can be agreed on by all parties in the war.

Unfortunately, even if this was not the intention, the result of Martinsen’s work is a falsification of history. In refusing to consider his documentation, Martinsen and Mønnesland are not telling the truth, and unfortunately, we are then speaking about an active falsification of history.

How to read these lists

Please note that Kosovo Chronology, FR and Martinsen don’t use specific characters such as š, ć, č, đ or ž in Serbian and ë and ç in Albanian, and thus, you have to take account for that when you search the lists. The most appropriate spelling would be the Albanian one for Albanian names and Serbian spelling for Serbian names. In my comments, I have used Serbian names for places in Kosovo, while I have included the Albanian spelling in the HLC entries.

When speaking about the victims, I use their first name to emphasize that every victim should have his or her individual story told in a respectful way. When there is FR in front of the paragraph, information is added from the list from FreeRepublic.com.

The very best database of missing and killed people in Kosovo is that made by the Humanitarian Law Center (HLC) and Nataša Kandić, although this is not a perfect list either. I have crosschecked all the names on the above mentioned lists against the Kosovo Memory Book. The vast majority of the incidents from the lists above are also found in the HLC database, and I have added that reference on every name.

These are names from these two lists, and when I have found names from the HLC list not included in Martinsen’s list, I have also included them here. If I have not written anything else, the first entry is from Kosovo Chronology. Those names marked with yellow are names not found by the HLC or where more investigation is needed.

I have added my comments in italics, but when I have longer comments, I have skipped the italics.

Please note that it is difficult to know the exact number of people not included in this list of names not included in Martinsen’s lists. Some of them might not be correct because the names have not been confirmed, or they might have been in UÇK captivity but then released. I did not have capacity to check all the names in the HLC database against the names of Martinsen’s lists, but as you can see, there are serious errors. In a couple of cases, I have made an assessment call to include names on this list even if Martinsen found them. The reason might have been that he does not have a complete record or he found only one in a series of murders happening in the same place.

21.Nedjat Pnisi, 1972, shot at store in Catholic Albanian village of Smac, Djakovica, 20 5 1998.

Then they robbed people in the store and opened fire.Villagers had previously been threatened for not joining the KLA insurrection. WFR: Nedzat Pnisi was killed on 19th May at about 20.00 in the village of Smac, Djakovica Municipality. Terrorists armed with automatic rifles entered the village of shop, in which there were several persons, and fired a number of bursts.

NOTE: HLC has recorded this murder of Pnisi, but they concluded that it was a normal robbery, not connected with war crimes. As far as I understand, this was based on testimonies from the family. However, I would argue that all murders and disappearances should be listed, and then we should decide after whether it was related to war or not. I also have operational experience as a journalist from the fighting in Macedonia and South Serbia in 2000-01 being under fire from mortars, artillery and snipers, and in my experience, it was a lot of criminal activity guised as a legitimate liberation battle.

However, in a meeting with HLC on July 4, 2014, we concluded that this is the same person, but he did not disappear with Muhamed Šope.

Martinsen’s list.

67.NN RETIMLJE, boy from Retimlje, observed by Baljosevic Krunislava under detention at KLA headquarters in Malisevo 26 7 98. WNOTE: HLC investigates this case. We need a lot of work to disclose the the full extent of the UÇK crimes in Mališevo/ Orahovac in 1998.

68.Rados Krstic, shot dead on Pec-Pristina road, 20 7 98. WFR: Radoš Krstić (1964), from Zajmovi, employee of the Minicipal Court in Klina, was killed by terrorists with a shot from a sniper on 20th July on the road Pec-Pristina, near the village of Zajmovi, Klina Municipality.HLC: Radoš Krstić, 1964-04-18, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-07-22 in Zajmovo/Zajmove, Klina/Klinë.

NOTE: Martinsen has Hira Krasniqi born on 07-May-45, date of the incident 16-Aug-98, but the place is Lipljan not Klina. Could Hira have been taken to a UÇK detention center in Klećka in the Lipljan municipality? However, on the HLC list, I cannot find any Krasni* with a similar first name or that was born in 1938 or 1945. However, both HLC and Martinsen found Dalibor Ranković, that disappeared 1998-08-30 together with a Roma woman, Hyre Sahiti, 1945-05-07, place of the incident: Krnjince/Kërnicë, Klina. Could this be the same woman? She is not to be found on Martinsen's list, but could the HLC have been mistaken about her name? I suggest that because the incident was reported by another member of the Krasnici family (the Roma spelling could be Krasnići).

71.Velimir Knezevic, 1920, from Erec, Djakovica, found by the side of the Djakovica-Pec road.

However, Martinsen has neither Stojanovic nor Blagojevic on his list.

80.Ranko Perenic, 1958, driver for TV reporter Slavuj Djuro, detained on Orahovac-Malisevo road, 21 8 98. WHLC: Ranko Perenić, 1958-09-25, Serbian civilian, disappeared 1998-08-21 in Velika Hoča/Hoçë e Madhe, Orahovac/Rahovec.

81.Rusa Koljoli, F, 1979, found next to her mother Ljatifa, near Toplicane, along the Prizren-Suva Reka road, blindfolded, with nose and mouth taped and hands tied behind her back, 23 8 98. A note found by the body charged her with being a cop's girlfriend. WFR: Ljatifa Koljoli (1953) and her daughter Ruza, from the village of Budakovo, Suva Reka Municipality, were killed by Albanian terrorists. Their corpses were found on 23rd August beside the road Prizren-Suva Reka, near the village of Toplicane, Suva Reka Municipality.HLC: Rushe Kololli, 1979-02-05, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-06-01 in Mačitevo/Maqitevë, Suva Reka/Suharekë

NOTE: Martinsen has Rushe’s mother Latife, but no date of birth, date of the crime: Sept. 15. See below.

Imer Morina, 1933, Rapi Pren, MD, and Mark Dedaj slightly injured in attack on Klina Outpatient Clinic ambulance on Pec-Pristina road, 24 8 98. W . One source says that one of them died.

NOTE: HLC is investigating this case. This is a difficult one. On Aug. 24, 1998, Martinsen lists two accounts of Adem Morina being killed, one in Vučitrn which is on the road between Mitrovica and Pristina and one in Mališevo. Adem in Vučitrn was born in 1958, and for the one in Mališevo, there is no birth date. Martinsen also lists Hajriz Morina, killed in Lipljan. On Aug. 24, HLC lists two people killed with the last name Morina, Adem born in 1958 and Hajriz born in 1973. This seems to be the same as the one on Martinsen’s list, even if Martinsen writes that Hajriz was one year younger. However, in the HLC list the place of the murder is Vlaški Drenovac in the Mališevo municipality, for both Adem and Hajriz. While Vlaški Drenovac is kind of on the road from Pristina to Pec, it is far from Klina where this ambulance originated according to Kosovo Chronology. The question is if anone was killed in this ambulance and who they are. Imer Morina does not exist in neither the list of Martinsen nor HLC.

After discussing this case with the HLC, there were no casualities in this case. See this Google Groups discussion.

82.Bedjet Gasi, 1943, found on Suva Reka-Orahovac road, 25 8 98. WFR: Bedjet Gasi (1943) and Gasi Ruzdi (1958), from Suva Reka, were killed by Albanian terrorists. Their corpses were found on 25th August at about 15.00 on the local road Suva Reka-Orahovac, near the village of Restane, in a passenger vehicle "Renau 9" without registration plates.HLC: Bexhet Gashi, 1943-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-08-23 in Suva Reka/Suharekë.NOTE: Ruzhdi Gashi was found by Martinsen and is listed below.

Kosovo Chronology writes the following: “Klecka, Lipljan: jail, crematorium, and grave for unburned bones found, after police/army counter-offensive takes KLA camp. Remains of 22 individuals are found, including a child's

charred hand, 27 8 98. W.” We see that this UÇK jail is written about many places, for instants here, but where can I find a list of people killed there?

83.Nedzmedin Eljsani, 1965, from Ozren, Pec, found in Banjica, Istok, 29 8 98. WFR: Eljsani Nadzemedin (1965), from the village of Ozren, Pec Municipality, was killed by Albanian terrorists from firearms. His corpse was found on 29th August in the village of Banjica, Istok Municipality.HLC: Nexhmedin Elshani, 1964-11-05, Albanian soldier, killed 1998-08-28 in Banjica (Pećka)/Ilixha e Pejës, Istok/Istog.

NOTE: it is interesting to see that while HLC lists this man as a soldier, Kosovo Chronology states that he was killed by (presumably Albanian) terrorists. A different perception of realitiy is a big problem, and it is academically dishonest to make lists of civilian victims exclusively. All victims must have their story told.

84.Fatmir Bojadzi, 1964, of Prizren, went to cut firewood, with Decaj Repsta and Decaj Binak, on 1 9 98, found in Biljbiljdera, Prizren, 7 9 98. WFR: Fatmira Bojadzi (1964), Repsta Decaj (1969) and Banika Decaj, from Prizren, were on 1st September killed by Shiptar terrorists with firearms in a forest in the territory of the settlement Biljbidera. Their corpses were found on 7th September.HLC: Fatmir Bojaxhiu, 1964-12-19, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-09-01 in Prizren.

NOTE: What seems to be a relative of Fatmir, with a different father, Shaban rather than Nazim, was killed in May 1999, and he is not found on Martinsen’s list. Why is he not on Martinsen’s list? Was he killed by fellow Albanians? From the HLC list:

85.Fatmir Bojadzi, 1975-01-01, nationality unknown but civilian, killed 1999-05-01 in Prizren.

86.Repsta Decaj, 1969, of Prizren, went to cut firewood, with Bojadzi Fatmir and Decaj Binak, on 1 9 98, found in Biljbiljdera, Prizren, 7 9 98. WHLC: Reshit Daqaj, 1969-11-27, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-09-01 in Prizren.

87.Decaj Binak (Banika?), of Prizren, went to cut firewood, with Decaj Repsta and Bojadzi Fatmir, on 1 9 98, found in Biljbiljdera, Prizren, 7 9 98. WHLC: Binak Daqaj, 1969-11-27, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-09-01 in Prizren.

NOTE: it seems like Binak and Reshit are twins.

88.Ponik Arsim, 1979, Albanian, nephew of Ponik Asret, visited by uniformed men at his home at 71 Zvecanska Street in Prizren, arrested, and driven away 7 9 98. Body left at cemetery. WHLC: Arsim Poniku, 1979-07-24, Albanian soldier, killed 1998-09-07 in Prizren.

NOTE: Martinsen listed his uncle listed as Hasret Poniku, also a soldier, even if he states that he only lists civilians. See below on the names from these lists found by Martinsen.

89.Tadija Radivojević, from the village of Svinjare, Kosovska Mitrovica Municipality, driver of the ambulance vehicle in "Stari Trg" mine, shot on 8th September at about 22.40. SUFR: Tadija Radivojević, from the village of Svinjare, Kosovska Mitrovica Municipality, driver of the ambulance vehicle in "Stari Trg" mine, was killed in the terrorist attack made on 8th September at about 22.40. Infantry arms were used in this attack at policemen and workers of the physical security of "Trepca" mine in Stari Trg.HLC: Tadija Radivojević, 1954-10-08, Serbian civilian, disappeared 1998-09-09 in Stari Trg (rud.nas) Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

90.Adzija Seferaj, Roma, son of Misina, born 1940 in Pljancar, Decani, detained in April, found with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Haxhi Seferaj, 1940-07-11, Egyptian (Roma) civilian, killed 1998-05-12 in Prilep, Dečani/Deçan.

91.Vukosava Marković, F, born Vujosevic in Gornji Ratis, Decani, in 1937, detained with her sister Kovac Darinka April 21, 1998, found with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Vukosava Marković, 1937-08-09, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-04-22, in Gornji Ratiš/Ratish i Epërm, Dečani/Deçan.

92.Milovan Vlahović, born 1935 in Gornji Ratis, Decani, last seen 19 4 98 with his wife Milka, found with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Milovan Vlahović, 1935-05-08, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-04-21 in Gornji Ratiš/Ratish i Epërm, Dečani/Deçan.

93.Darinka Kovač, F, born Vujosevic in Gornji Ratis, Decani in 1932, detained with her sister Markovic Vukosava found with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Darinka Kovač, 1932-10-18, from Montenegro, civilian, killed 1998-04-22, Gornji Ratiš/Ratish i Epërm, Dečani/Deçan.

94.Hajrula Gasi, Albanian, from Prizren, born 1956, detained in Suva Reka with Jusuf Hoxha 24 6 98, found with head and jaw fractures with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Hajrullah Gashi, 1951-02-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-06-24 in Suva Reka/Suharekë.

Ilire Frrokaj, F, Albanian Catholic, born 1967, from Pljacevo (Pljancor), Djakovica, breast-feeding her youngest child, detained with her husband 26 8

98, found with multiple fractures in her head and jaw, with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Ilire Frrokaj, 1967-05-25, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-08-26 in Glođane/Gllogjan, Dečani/Deçan.

NOTE: Martinsen has included the Ilire Frrokaj on his list, and she is again listed below among the names Martinsen found from Kosovo Chronology, but he did not mention her child or husband. HLC has no record of the children, and we do not know what happened to the child she was breast feeding. Kosovo Chronology did not mention the name of the husband either, but I have included this because it is listed in HLC:

95.Tush Frrokaj, 1961-08-29, Albanian civilian, disappeared 1998-08-26 in Glođane/Gllogjan, Dečani/Deçan.

96.Jusuf Hoxha, 1938, Albanian, from Djakovica, detained in Suva Reka with Gasi Hajrula, found with multiple rib and leg fractures with 38 other bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. WHLC: Isuf Hoxha, 1938-11-13, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-06-24, in Suva Reka/Suharekë.

Kosovo Chronology: NN GLODJANE TWENTY-SEVEN, 27 unidentified bodies found with 12 identified bodies after police/army counteroffensive in Glodjane, 11 9 98. Most bodies displayed bullet wounds and blunt instrument damage. Barbed wire loop with female hair on it was found in barn where prisoners were kept.

Haljim Krasnici, 1956, from Glogovac, detained 7 9 98. WNOTE: Halim or Haljim was tortured and released, but before I received that information from the HLC, I did a thorough search of the HLC database. Of course, Krasniqi or the Serbian spelling Krasnići is a very common name in Kosovo, like Johnson in English or Scandinavian languages. Therefore, I included all variations of Krasni* and looked especially throrough on first names containing and H and those Krasni* born in the 1950ies.The HLC database is an excellent tool.

97.Marijan Domjonas, 1946, from Grazdanik, Prizren, detained 30 8 98 in Grazdanik, found buried in Leskovac, Prizren, 9 9 98. His car was confiscated. WFR: Marijan Domdjonas (1946), from the village of Grazdanik, Prizren Municipality was killed with firearms on 30th August. His corpse was found on 9th September in the area of the village of Leskovac.HLC: Marijan Domgjonaj, 1942-06-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-08-30 in Graždanik/Grazhdanik, Prizren.

98.Ekrem Binakaj, 1958, detained at his house in Krusevac, Pec, 31 5 98, body found 11 9 98. WFR: Ekrem Banikaj (1958) was killed with several shots from automatic weapons. He was kidnapped on 31st May, while his corpse was found on 11th

September in the village of Krusevac, Pec Municipality.HLC: Ekrem Binakaj, 1958-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-05-31 in Kruševac/Krushec, Peć/Pejë.

99.Djulja Hajdaru, F, 1925, accused of allowing police into her house in Muhadjeri, Drenovac, Klina, executed and put in her well, 12-13 9 98. WFR: Djulja Hajdari (1925) was killed by Albanian terrorists by throwing into the well in front of her house in the village of Drenovac, Klina Municipality. Her corpse was found on 14th September.HLC: Gjule Hajdari, 1925-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-06-30 in Drenovac/Drenoc, Klina/Klinë.

NOTE: Martinsen has a Gjyle Hajdari, born on Jan 1, 1930, killed in Podujevo on Nov. 30, 1998. He lists the same father as the HLC, Islam, but Podujevo is far from Klina, and therefore I have included her in the list of names that has not been found by Martinsen. However, there seems to be confusion about the date when she was killed, and Gjule’s story deserves to be told in a proper way.

100. Zukaj Sefcet, 1945, from Beleg, Decani, found in corn field, 16 9 98.FR: Zujkaj Sefceta (1945), from Beleg, Decani Municipality, was killed by Albanian terrorists. His corpse was found on 16th September in the village of Beleg, in the field planted with maize.HLC: Shefqet Zukaj, 1945-02-05, Albanian soldier, killed 1998-09-08 in Beleg, Dečani/Deçan.

Since Serbian police documents write that Shefqet was killed by “Albanian terrorists,” it his story is very interesting. How much fighting and rivalry was there between the different Albanian armed groups?

Before NATO went to war against Yugoslavia there were there were three murders and one disappearance in the village of Beleg, according to the HLC, but after the war started, an additional 45 people were killed or disappeared in this village. The village of Beleg is a good example how NATO contributed to escalating the suffering of the Albanian people by going to war.

101. Haljlj Berisa, 1941, from Rznic, Decani, disappeared 8 9 98, body found 17 9 98. WFR: Haljilji Berisa (1941), from Rznic, was killed by Albanian terrorists. His corpse was found on 17th September in the hamlet of Dodaj, Decani Municipality.HLC: Halil Berisha, 1941-12-12, Albanian soldier, killed 1998-09-10 in Rznić/Irzniq, Dečani/Deçan.

NOTE: it is interesting to see how Halil was classified as a soldier while freerepublic.com states that he was killed by Albanian terrorists. No matter what happened to Halil, he deserves to have his story told in a proper way.

102. Sulja Bahri, a passer-by from Bencuk, Vucitrn, killed by mistake in attack on car in Mjalic, Vucitrn, 18 9 98. Targets were Saša Milović and Miloš Skulić, who were unhurt. WSyla survived this attack, but he was later killed by Serbian police:HLC: Syla Bahri, 1975-10-05, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-05-22 in Vučitrn/Vushtrri.

103. Murat Rustemi, detained from the Orahovac home of his father Aljus Rustemi, 10 6 98, together with his brothers Bedri and Ekrem. Bedri and Ekrem had been released subsequently while Murat had disappeared. This was reported to Orahovac police by Hasan Rustemi on 18 9 98. WHLC: Murat Rrustemi, 1942-05-20, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-07-01 in Drenovac/Drenoc, Orahovac/Rahovec.

104. Robaj Spetim, Albanian, doctor emplyed by International Red Cross Committee killed by a mine between Gornje Obrinje and Likovac. Bryson Margaret, from New Zealand, Tolaj Ilir, and Bunjaku Linda, were lightly wounded, 30 9 98. WFR: Robaj Spetim (1957), doctor-anesthesiologist in MKCK from Pristina, killed on 30th September on the road connecting Gornja Obrinja village, Glogovac Municipality, and Likovac village, Srbica Municipality. A vehicle of the International Committee of the Red Cross from Switzerland ran onto a pressure mine placed by Albanian terrorists during their withdrawal from that area.HLC: Robaj Shpëtim, 1957-10-15, Albanian soldier, killed 1998-09-30 in Likovac/Likoc Srbica/Skënderaj.

NOTE: There must be an error in the HLC list here. I doubt that the ICRC would travel around in Kosovo with a soldier. That would be contrary to all their principles of being neutral in war.

105. FR: Sufaj Suljo (1922) was killed by terrorists. His corpse with partly burned and carbonized bones was found in the septic tank of his family house on 4th October in the village of Prilep.HLC: Sylë Qufaj, 1918-05-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-08-12 in Prilep, Dečani/Deçan.

NOTE: Sufaj Suljo is not found in Kosovo Chronology. Except for him, all victims from FR are found there. It is also very strange that Martinsen does not have Sylë on his list because it was his job to find people who were put in wells.

106. Muja Gasi, from Cabic, Klina, detained in July, found 23 10 98. WHLC: Musa Gashi, 1940-05-03, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-08-02 in Čabić/Çabiq, Klina/Klinë.

According to Kosovo Chronology, Musa was detained sometime in July, but he was killed on Aug. 2. What were the conditions of his kidnapping? Was he on

friendly terms with the government?

Mileva Milanović, F, 1941, of Sacanica, Leposavic, went to pick mushrooms and never returned, 27 10 98. WNOTE: HLC did an investigation in the village of Sočanica, and no one knows about Mileva here.

107. Zef Dren, 1932, killed at his house in the village of Firza, Djakovica municipality, on October 29, at about 00.15 a.m.. When his son Peter approached the body of his father, he was hit in the head with rifle butt. WFR: Sef Dren (1932) was killed in the terrorist attack made on 29th October at about 00.15 in the village of Firza, Djakovica Municipality. Terrorists entered into his yard and killed him with shots from automatic weapons.HLC: Zef Dreni, 1932-09-13, Albanin civilian, killed 1998-10-28 in Đakovica/Gjakovë.

108. Idriz Svraca of Belo Polje, Podujevo, failed to return from Podujevo, 2 11 98. WHLC: Idriz Sfarça, 1961-06-23, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-07 in Majance/Majac, Podujevo/Podujevë.

109. Desimir Prodanovic, seriously wounded--died 5 11 98-- and Dragisa Stjepanovic (1969) and Slavoljub Tanaskovic (1957) slightly wounded in attack in the village of Doni Grabovac, Kosovo Polje municipality, on November 3, at about 6.00 p.m. Armed men attacked two vehicles with the workers of the Belacevac coal mine.HLC: Desimir Prodanović, 1969-04-17, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-11-05 in Donji Grabovac/Graboc i Ulët, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

110. Murat Hadjosaja (1942) of Prekoluka village, Decani Municipality, arrested and executed at the edge of the village, 13 11 98. WFR: Murat Hadjosaja (1942) was killed by Albanian terrorists on 13th November at about 18.00 in Prekoluka village, Decani Municipality. Terrorists took him out of the village and killed him with shots from automatic rifles.HLC: Murat Hađosaj, 1942-04-07, Bosniak civilian, killed 1998-11-13 in Prekoluka/Prekolluk, Dečani/Deçan.

Kosovo Chonology also writes about Murat’s son: Rasim Hadjosaj (1964) was wounded in the head on 13th November at about 18.00 in Prekoluka village, Decani Municipality. Armed men arrested Rasim and his father Murat. W

NOTE: Rasim survivced the UÇK detention

In the village of Prekoluka in the municipality of Dečani, HLC only has recorded two incidents, and I am including the second as well because Martinsen does not have him on his list. Was Anthem below yet another Albanian victim of the UÇK?

111. Athem Selmonaj, 1921-01-01, Albanian civilian, disappeared 1998-08-12 in Prekoluka/Prekolluk, Dečani/Deçan.

112. Hoti Hakif, 1942, of Bradas, Podujevo, arrested on the bus, 18 11 98. WHoti was not found on the HLC database. In the month of November 1998, HLC has only two people born in 1942, Rasim as mentioned above and the Bosniak woman Sanije Dubovci born 1942-01-01. Was Hoti Hakif released?

113. Nedzemedin Bedra,1948, from Djakovica, shot and killed near the village of Lozica, Klina municipality, on December 2, at about 5.15 p.m.He was passenger in car driven by Kumnova Skumbima. WHLC: Nexhmedin Bedra, 1948-10-11, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-12-02 in Dolac/Dollc, Klina/Klinë.

NOTE: in the village of Lozica/Llazicë in the municipality of Mališevo/Malishevë, HLC has six murders in 1998, four civilians killed 1998-05-08, 1998-07-28, 1998-09-23 and 1998-09-25 and two soldiers, presumably the UÇK killed 1998-09-25 and 1998-09-25. No incidents were recorded in December 1998. Another thing to discuss is the HLC definition between a civilian and a soldier. For Serbian members of the security forces, this is easy, but what is a paramilitary? When does an armed civilian become a paramilitary, and when does and armed Albanian civilian become UÇK?

114. Nazif Muljaj (1956), electric company worker, shot and killed with Misliju Brahim in the transformer station building near the railway crossing, in Glogovac, on December 11, at 2.30 p.m.HLC: Nazif Mulaj, 1956-05-05, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-12-11 in Glogovac/Gllogoc.

115. Brahim Misliju, 1953, electric company worker, shot and killed with Muljaj Nazif in the transformer station building near the railway crossing, in Glogovac, on December 11, at 2.30 p.m.HLC: Brahim Musliu, 1958-01-17, Albanian civilian, killed 1998-12-11 in Glogovac/Gllogoc.

Below you will see a list of Albanians mentioned in Kosovo Chronology that were detained by armed Albanians. HLC investigated the cases, and they all survived. However, these are important to highlight conflics among Kosovo Albanians, not only Serbian crimes against Albanians. These are the ten names:

1. Abdurahim Veselji, 1947, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, arrested with Veselji Nermina, by uniformed men, h 20.00, 12 12 98.Car was confiscated W

2. Nermina Veselji, F, 1978, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, arrested with Veselji Abdurahim, by uniformed men, 12 12 98. W

3. Izeta Veselji, F, 1980, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, sister of Veselji Nermina, arrested h01.00, 13 12 98. W

4. Ramadan Joha, Albanian, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained with wife Mevljuda, h19.00, 20 12 98. W

5. Mevljuda Joha, F, Albanian, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained with husband Ramadan, h19.00, 20 12 98. W

6. Banus Musliu, Albanian, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained with wife Nafia, h19.00, 20 12 98. W

7. Nafia Musliu, F, Albanian,of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained with husband Banus, h19.00, 20 12 98. W

8. Afrim Murtezi, Albanian, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained h19.00, 20 12 98. W

9. Naser Muhadzeri, Albanian, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, detained h19.00, 20 12 98. W

10. Iljimi Beljulji, of Dramnjak, Urosevac, arrested withVeselji Izeta, h01.00, 13 12 98. W

NOTE: Probably the Albanian spelling of the last name is Veseli, without the J, but in 1998, only two Albanians names Veseli were killed according to the HLC. The correct spelling of Banus is probably Banush, but here the HLC only has two peope with this name being killed, in 1999. During the cause of the war, the HLC reported only one incident in the village of Dramnjak, Uroševac, and since Martinsen did not record that either, I am also including:

116. Muhamet Musliu, 1983-07-02, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-11-23 in Dramnjak/Dramjake, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

Kosovo Chronology also mentions Rahim Haljiti, 1967 and Ejup Haljiti, 1974, arrested by uniformed men at h21.30, 12 12 98. Their car was confiscated, but HLC found Rahim alive in Kosovo while Ejup moved to France.

NOTE: In December 1998, the UÇK took very heavy losses. According to the HLC, 71 soldiers were killed this month, one Serbian and three Roma with Albanian sounding names. One could assume that these Romas were fighting for the UÇK, but we need to know their complete stories to be sure about that. Compared to this, only two police officers were killed, one Albanian and one Serb, Xhafer Qorri, 1948-01-18 killed 1998-12-11 and Milić Jović, 1947-05-01 killed 1998-12-21.

Accoding to the HLC, 114 people were killed in December 1998, of these 37 civilians. Four of these 114 had unknown status in the war, but there were 28 civilian Albanians, eight Serbian civilians, including the kids killed in the Panda bar massacre on Dec. 14 and one Ashkali (Roma) civilian.

So, what could be the explanation that only one Serbian soldier was killed in December? One could conclude that Serbia respected their part of the October agreement withdrawing their soldiers to the bases. The one soldier that was killed was killed in Gračanica just outside Priština, not in Albanian areas in the countryside fighting the UÇK. It seems likely that Serbian MUP forces were responsible for the vast majority of the UÇK losses.

The question is also what happened to the 12 Albanians, listed above, that are not accounted for in the HLC database. Have they not been reported to HLC and other human rights organizations because of threats and intimidation from the UÇK? Were they an obstacle for UÇK operations? Were they released from UÇK captivity?

117. Ivan Radevic (1972), killed with Ivan Obradović (1973), Dragan Trifović (1980) and Vuleta Gvoždenović (1980) when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec. Svetislav Ristić (1981) and Zoran Stanojević (1981) died later. WHLC: Ivan Radević, 1973-10-10, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-14 in Peć/Pejë.

118. Ivan Obradovic (1973), killed with Ivan Radevic, Dragan Trifović, 1980 and Gvozdenovic Vuleta, 1980 when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec. Ristic Svetislav,1981 and Stanojevic Zoran, 1981 died later. WHLC: Ivan Obradović, 1984-01-03, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-14 in Peć/Pejë.

119. Dragan Trifovic, 1980, killed with Radevic Ivan, Obradovic Ivan and Gvozdenovic Vuleta, 1980 when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec.

120. Vuleta Gvozdenovic, 1980, killed with Radevic Ivan, Trifovic Dragan, 1980 and Obradovic Ivan when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec. Ristic Svetislav,1981 and Stanojevic Zoran, 1981 died later. WHLC: Vukota Gvozdenović, 1982-04-11, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-14 in Peć/Pejë.

121. Svetislav Ristić, 1981, killed with Radevic Ivan, Obradovic Ivan Trifovic Dragan, Stanojevic Zoran, 1981, and Gvozdenovic Vuleta, 1980 were killed when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec. WHLC: Svetislav Ristić, 1980-11-20, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-14 in Peć/Pejë.

122. Zoran Stanojević, 1981, killed with Obradovic Ivan, Radevic Ivan, Trifovic Dragan, 1980, Ristic Svetislav, 1981, and Gvozdenovic Vuleta, 1980 were killed when two men opened fire from the entrance door on 14th December at 20.10 in "Panda" coffee bar in Pec. and died later. WHLC: Zoran Stanojević, 1981-10-08, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-14 in Peć/Pejë.

NOTE: The kids killed in the Panda bar are close and personal for me. Sandra Popović Nadaždin was a childhood friend of these kids. In 2007, I was the best man for Siniša Nadaždin, a Serbian refugee from Mostar, Bosnia, when he married Sandra, a Serbian refugee from Peć.

Thousands of Serbs went to their funeral, and still today, these murders are an open wound for Serbs from Peć. For a long time, it was assumed that these kids were killed by Albanians, but on Jan. 17, 2014, the newspaper Kurir wrote that Radomir Marković, the head of the Yugoslav State Security Service could have ordered the killings and that Arkan or his men could have been the executors.

Accordording to Kurir, the motivation for this was to legitimize a harder crackdown on Albanians. However, Kurir is not among the most reliable Serbian newspapers, but no matter what is true about this massacre, it is vital that we find those who are guilty and that they receive harsh punishments.

But the suffering for Sandra, her mother Jelica, grandmother Zorka and grandfather Vojislav did not end in December 1998. When Serbian security forces left Kosovo and Peć in June 1999, there were lawless conditions, and there were no one to protect civilians from attacks, killings and kidnappings from UÇK and other Albanian extremists.

Sandra, Jelica and Zorka fled to Podgorica, Montenegro while Vojislav stayed behind to protect their two flats and house. Unfortunately, this was not a good option for Vojislav. Still, to this date, the family has not been able to sell their property, and Albanian families live in their two flats while the house is burned down. I have visited them and brought back pictures to the family in Podgorica.

And when KFOR was not in control, Vojislav became an easy victim for Albanian extremists. Since June 19, 1999, there has been no trace of Vojislav, and there is no way to know how long he was alive or if he was killed immediately. What we do know is that he has no grave. Martinsen did not include Vojislav in his lists, and here is the record from HLC:

123. Vojislav Martinovic, 1924-12-26, Serbian civilian, disappeared 1999-06-19 in Peć/Pejë.

Zorka, Jelica and Sandra lived a hard life in Podgorica, and I had the privilege of getting to know them. Zorka always asked when I was going to get married, and when it is cold outside, I wear the wool socks she knitted for me, like on this rainy and cold day in May when I am writing this article in my flat in Belgrade.

On April 23, 2014, Zorka passed away in her home in Podgorica, and since I am a Christian, and I know that Zorka and Vojislav were also Christians, I believe that they are united, away from their bodies but home with the Lord, as we are promised in 2. Corinthians 5:8.

However, when it comes to Zorka, there seems to be a problem on both the lists of Martinsen and the HLC. Martinsen listed her as killed as you see below in this document I made available previously where I have marked Serbian names with blue color in Martinsen’s list:

The entry for Zorka in the HLC database is also confusing. They do not have a Zorka living in Peć like Martinsen has, and she is not listed as killed, but rather disappeared. However, in both the entries of HLC and Martinsen there is no date of birth and no name of father. Zorka Martinović in the HLC database could be a different person other than Sandra’s grandmother.

124. Zvonimir Bojanić, 1945, vice-president of the Kosovo Polje municipality, detained in Velika Slatina, Kosovo Polje municipality, on December 17, at 9.40 p.m. He was handcuffed and beaten. Body was found on the Pristina - Pec road, near the road to the Vasiljevo village, Glogovac municipality, on December 18, around 4.00 p.m.HLC: Zvonimir Bojanić, 1945-04-14, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-17 in Velika Slatina/Sllatinë, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë

125. Milovan Radivojević, 1925, killed in the yard of his house, in the village of Obrandza, Podujevo municipality, on December 26, at about 9.00 a.m. When police came about 11.00 a.m. to investigate, they received automatic fire.HLC: Milovan Radojević, 1925-06-28, Serbian civilian, killed 1998-12-26 in Obrandža/Obrançë, Podujevo/Podujevë.

126. Gani Gusani, 1944, Roma, Kosovska Mitrovica municipality councilman, killed with Basri Gusani (1975) and Iljmi Gusani (1972) in their family house at the 7 Rudara street, no. 341 in Kosovska Mitrovica, on December 27, at 6.45 p.m.HLC: Gani Gušani, Roma soldier, killed 1998-12-27 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

127. Basri Gusani, 1975, Roma, killed, with Gani Gusani and Iljmi Gusani, in their family house at the 7 Rudara street, no. 341 in Kosovska Mitrovica, on December 27, at 6.45 p.m.HLC: Basri Gušani, 1975-11-07, Roma soldier, killed 1998-12-27 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

128. Iljmi Gusani, killed with Basri Gusani and Gusani Gani in their family house at the 7 Rudara street, no. 341 in Kosovska Mitrovica, on December 27, at 6.45 p.m.HLC: Iljmi Gušani, Roma soldier, killed 1998-12-27 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

NOTE: While HLC lists these men as soldiers, we know very little about the circumstances when they were killed. However, when they had been killed in the

family house, it does not seem to indicate that they are soldiers. That Gani Gušani was a Kosovska Mitrovica municipality councilman seems to indicate an error in the HLC database.

129. Dragan Kovačević, 1951, of Kosovska Mitrovica, found with 130. Gojko Jevtić, in the agriculture cooperative "23. novembar" in Kosovska

Mitrovica, on January 2, at 10.40 a.m. They had been tortured and then shot. WHLC: Dragan Kovačević, 1951-05-15, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-01-01 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.HLC: Gojko Jevtić, 1949-01-15, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-01-01 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

131. Bekim Miftari (1972) from the village of Jerli Sadovin, killed with Rahmoni Cerim from the village of Vrban, Vitina. They were security guards at the "Burumi" petrol station, in the village of Belgrad, Kacanik municipality.

Nebojsa Denica (1964) from the village of Preoc, Pristina, security guard at Belacevac coal pit, shot dead in the village of Donji Grabovac, Kosovo Polje municipality, on January 6, 99 at 3.30 p.m. WHLC: Nebojša Denić, 1964-09-12, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-01-06 in Donji Grabovac/Graboc i Ulët, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

134. Bijerim Baljaj (1972), found in the vicinity of the village of Donji Streoc, Decani municipality, on January 7, around 5.00 p.m. WHLC: Blerim Balaj, 1972-01-01, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-07 in Donji Streoc/Strellc i Ulët, Dečani/Deçan

135. Rifat Bijakaj, 1979, from the village of Trbuhovac, Istok municipality, found by the road Pristina - Pec, in the vicinity of the village of Gornji Drenovac, Klina municipality, on January 8, 99 at 11.30 a.m. WHLC: Rifat Blakaj, 1979-06-15, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-07 in Đurakovac/Gjurakoc, Istok/Istog.

136. Faruk Murselji (1978)of Trpeza, Vitina was killed and Sadat Saljimi (1978), also from Trpeza, Vitina, was wounded while driving in the village of Biba, Urosevac municipality, on January 9, 99at 9.00 p.m. WHLC: Faruk Murseli, 1978-09-26, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-09 in Biba/Bibaj, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

137. Nazmi Ismaiji, 1960, of Perane, Podujevo, detained with 138. Ismet Beciri in the village of Perane, Podujevo, January 9, 1999 at around

2.00 p.m. Bodies found on Perane-Bradas road, 17 3 99.WHLC: Nazmi Ismaili, 1960-04-11, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-09 in Perane/Peran, Podujevo/Podujevë.

HLC: Ismet Beqiri, 1956-03-10, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-09 in Perane/Peran, Podujevo/Podujevë.

NOTE: Martinsen’s separation between civilians and non-civilians is not scientifically viable. While the HLC lists these men as soldiers, Kosovo Chronology writes that the same men were detained (presumably by UÇK) Did the UÇK try to make heroes from the persons they killed?

139. Saiti Sejdi (1949) from Urosevac, wounded in Urosevac on January 12, 99, 8.30 p.m. Saiti died in the hospital in Pristina. WHLC: Sejdi Sahati, 1949-10-22, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-12 in Uroševac/Ferizaj.

140. Branislav Skulic, 1953, of Belgrade, born in Pojatiste, Urosevac, found with stab and gunfire wounds on the main road Pristina - Pec, in the village of Donja Koretica, Glogovac municipality, on January 13,99. WHLC: Branislav Skulić, 1953-07-14, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-01-12 in Priština/Prishtinë.

141. Rustem Alidemaj, 1928, beaten and arrested with Sutaj Ljuljzim, Gornja Luka, Decani municipality, on January 15, 99 at about 8.30 p.m. WHLC: Rustem Alidemaj, 1927-10-19, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-15 in Gornja Luka/Llukë e Epërme, Dečani/Deçan.

Ljuljzim Sutaj, 1966, beaten and arrested with Alidemaj Rustem, 1928, in Gornja Luka, Decani municipality, on January 15, 99 at about 8.30 p.m. WAccording to HLC, Ljuljzim did not die

NOTE: HLC has five incidents in the village of Gornja Luka for the entire war, but there is no record of Ljuljzim Sutaj. Probably the Albanian spelling of the name is Lulëzim or Lulzim. According to the HLC, there was only one person with the first name Lul* in January 1999:Lulzim Sahiti, no date of birth, Albanian soldier killed 1999-01-01 in Kosovo/Kosovë

The HLC record for this person is very poor, and the place he was killed is not listed, simply stating that he as killed in Kosovo. However, despite the fact that the last name looks different, and the date of the event looks different, this could be the same person that Kosovo Chronology speaks about, but more investigation is needed. It could also be the case that Lulzim or Ljuljzim escaped from his Albanian captors.

Cun Muhareni, 1963, employee of Glogovac Municipal Council, shot at, while with his children, in Glogovac, 20 1 99. Missed. W

NOTE: Two people born in 1963 were killed in January 1999, but none of them match Cun Muhareni or similar name combinations. Is this a mistake in Kosovo Chronology?

142. Hisen Kurti,1959, shot and killed with Sanija Kurti, Saban Keljmendi and two boys between 13 and 14 years old who were on the trailer behind the tractor, in the village of Rakovina, Djakovica municipality, on January 25,99 shot and killed. WHLC: Hysen Kurti, 1959-10-06, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-24 in Rakovina/Rakovinë, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

NOTE: given the circumstances of this killing, I find it hard to believe that Hysen was a soldier. More investigation is needed.

143. Sanija Kurti, 1964, shot and killed with Hisen Kurti, Saban Keljmendi and two boys between 13 and 14 years old who were on the trailer behind the tractor, in the village of Rakovina, Djakovica municipality, on January 25,99. WHLC: Sanije Kurti, 1964-07-20, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-24 in Rakovina/Rakovinë, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

144. Saban Keljmendi, shot and killed with Hisen and Sanija Kurti (1964), and two boys between 13 and 14 years old who were on the trailer behind the tractor, in the village of Rakovina, Djakovica municipality, on January 25,99. WHLC: Shaban Kelmendi, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-24 in Rakovina/Rakovinë, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

145. NN RAKOVINA A, boy about 13, shot and killed with Hisen Kurti, Sanija Kurti, Saban Keljmendi and boy,14 years old, who were on the trailer behind the tractor, in the village of Rakovina, Djakovica municipality, on January 25,99. WHLC: Haxhi Kelmendi, 1988-03-05, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-24 in Rakovina/Rakovinë, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

146. NN RAKOVINA B, boy about 14, shot and killed with Hisen Kurti, Sanija Kurti, Saban Keljmendi and boy,13 years old, who were on the trailer behind the tractor, in the village of Rakovina, Djakovica municipality, on January 25,99. WHLC: Besim Kelmendi, 1986-06-04, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-24 in Rakovina/Rakovinë, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

It is good to see how HLC and the Kosovo Chronology complete each other to tell a better story about what happened in the village of Rakovina. From the HLC records, we see that Besim and Haxhi are Shaban’s sons, and I would be surprised if Shaban was a soldier. But then, the UÇK had massive support in the Albanian population, and there was an abundance of weapons. When does an

armed civilian become UÇK?

147. Dejan Kostic (1976) found on the main road Pristina - Kosovska Mitrovica, in the village of Supkovac, Kosovska Mitrovica municipality, on January 27 99. WHLC: Dejan Kostić, 1976-02-06, Serbian, status in the war unknown, killed 1999-01-26 in Šupkovac/Shupkofc, Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

148. Zdravko Sedlarevic, 1926, killed, and his wife Darinka (1927) seriously wounded in hand grenade attack on the house of the family Sedlarevic, in the village of Rakos, Istok municipality, on January 29, 99 at 10.00 p.m WHLC: Zdravko Sedlarević, 1926-08-28, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-01-29 in Rakoš/Rakosh, Istok/Istog.

149. Gasper Karaci (1961) from the village of Ujza, Djakovica municipality, found in the yard of the Orthodox church, in the village of Bistrazin, Djakovica municipality, on January 30, 99 at 10.30 a.m. WHLC: Gasper Karaqi, 1961-08-12, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-28 in Ujz, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

150. Alija Visoci, 1937, from the village of Begov Rukavac, Istok municipality, found in the village of Djurakovac, Istok municipality, on January 31,99 at 1.30 p.m. WHLC: Ali Visoqi, 1937-05-25, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-27 in Đurakovac/Gjurakoc, Istok/Istog.

151. Osmani Gasi, 1976, from Pec was killed, and Ramadani Fatmir (1960) and Seljimi Seljim (1951) from Pristina seriously wounded in hand grenade attack on "Beca" hamburger shop, in Pristina in the Veluska street no. 10, on January 31, 99 at 10.40 p.m. WHLC: Osman Gashi, 1976-01-15, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-01-31 in Priština/Prishtinë.

Why was Osman Gashi listed as a soldier by the HLC? Would it be normal for an UÇK fighter to go for a burger in the city of Priština, completely controlled by Serbian security forces?

152. Imer Redzepi, 1955, Albanian, found on the main road, in the village of Lipe, Zvecan municipality, on February 3 99. WHLC: tdR Rexhepi, 1955-01-12, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-31 in Lipa/Lipë, Zvečan/Zveçan.

NOTE a small error in the first name in the HLC entry. Killed on Jan. 31, found a few days later on Feb. 3.

153. Boza Kostic, 1952, a refugee from the Republic of Albania, resident of the refugee camp Junik , Decani municipality, killed in attack on passenger car, on Djakovica - Decani road, at the crossroad for the village of Rastavica, Decani

municipality, on February 3, 99 at 8.30 p.m. WHLC: Božo Kontić, 1952-12-30, Montenegrean civilian, killed 1999-02-03 in Rastavica/Rastavicë, Dečani/Deçan.

154. Aljija Pajazitaj (1972) from the village of Istinic, Pec, was killed with Fazli Morina and Alberto Sejdijaj (1973), while driving in the village of Gornja Luka, Decani municipality, on February 4, 99 at 9.30 a.m. WHLC: Ali Pajazitaj, 1972-09-16, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-03 in Gornja Luka/Llukë e Epërme, Dečani/Deçan

NOTE: Martinsen did find Ali Pajazitaj, through his own research where he was the only source of information, but I am not sure about if he has used sufficient methodology because he did not find Ali’s travel companions Albert and Fazli which are listed below. This is the reason have included Ali here to have a discussion of Martinsen’s working methods. How was Martinsen able to find Ali but not the others? Did he just receive lists of names without doing an independent investigation? Martinsen’s weakness when doing this kind of research is that he does not speak Albanian language, and therefore, there are many chances for errors. Without knowing Albanian, it is very difficult for Martinsen to get a complete picture of the events.

I can also add that Martinsen’s first book, The Wells of Death from 2005, we can see that this is published in association with Ekrem Lluka. This is a very controversial man, and there are many claims that he is one of the important mafia leaders in Kosovo. As a close associate to the former Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, the Serbian government states Lluka is is heavily involved in organized crime in Kosovo and around the world.

In 2003, the Serbian government published the whitepaper Albanian Terrorism and Organized Crime in Kosovo-Metohija. Here the Serbian government listed 156 names in a list of “terrorists and members of the organized crime groups.” For those who want to know a bit more about Ekrem Lluka’s background, you can search for “Ekrem L” in this list to include spellings with Luka and Lluka, and he is mentioned many places.

When Martinsen received publication support from Ekrem Lluka, what are his other sources for names in his book? Was he coopted by Albanians with an agenda other than to find a complete picture of events in Kosovo?

155. Alberto Sejdijaj (1973), from Ljubus, Decani municipality, was killed with Fazli Morina (1969) from Grabovac, Pec municipality and Aljija Pajazitaj (1972) from the village of Istinic, Pec municipality,while driving in the village of Gornja Luka, Decani municipality, on February 4, 99 at 9.30 a.m.WHLC: Albert Sejdijaj, 1973-02-24, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-03 in Gornja Luka/Llukë e Epërme, Dečani/Deçan.

a.m.WHLC: Fazli Morina, 1969-02-12, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-03 in Gornja Luka/Llukë e Epërme, Dečani/Deçan

Aleksandar Ilić (1971) from Pristina, detained and beaten up in the village of Orlovic, Pristina municipality, on February 5, 99 at 7.45 p.m. WAccording to the HLC, Aleksadar is probaby not missing and he is not killed.

Nedo Zekirija, F, Turk, cousin Miljajim Morina, from Prizren, detained on Ulcinjska street, no. 105 in Prizren, at around 1.00 a.m. 6 2 99. W

Below you will find a discussion of Milaim Morina found by Martinsen, but what happened to his cousin Nedo that was kidnapped together with him? I cannot find any record of her in the HLC database with any name combinations. Was she released? According to HLC, she was detained and beaten but not murdered

157. Enver Salja, 1947, minimarket owner, died with Vljora Kumoli (1981) and Arton Ajeti (1978) from Urosevac in explosion in front of the "Almir" minimarketHLC: Enver Shala, 1947-11-27, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-06 in Priština/Prishtinë.

164. Dzavit Avdi, 1945, Roma, from Urosevac, body found with that of Salji Salija, 1962, also Roma, under the bridge on the main road Urosevac - Kacanik, in the village of Kriva Reka, on February 8 99. WHLC: Xhavit Avdiu, 1945-04-03, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-01-31 Uroševac/Ferizaj.

WHLC: Salih Salihu, 1962-10-20, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-07 in Uroševac/Ferizaj.

It seems like Kosovo Chronology has better information about the two men above than that of the HLC. The dates are different in the HLC entries, even if they were found together. Also, the HLC recorded them as Albanians, not Roma.

166. Cerim Sukaj, 1947, from Novo Selo, Pec, found by the side of the Pec - Radavac road, in the village of Novo Selo, Pec municipality, on February 10, 1999, at 7.45 p.m. WHLC: Qerim Sukaj, 1947-12-19, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-11 in Peć/Pejë.

167. Hakija Hoti,1967, from the village of Dubrava, Istok municipality, found by the road in the village of Zacu, on February 11, 1999 at around 8.30. WHLC: Haki Hoti, 1967-08-04, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-02-10 in Duškaja/Dushkaj, Istok/Istog.

Kosovo Chronology mentions the case of Zeciri Taib and Cerimi Jener (Roma?),from Stimlje, detained during the funeral of Albanian martyrs in Racak on February 11, 99 at around 11.00 a.m. According to HLC, these two were probably police spies and later released.

Why would three armed men (presumably Albanians) visit a man that is a soldier (presumably for the UÇK) and kill him?

NOTE: Radivoje’s brother, the police officer Ljubiša Mitrović is listed below. All victims of war should be listed, regardless of their status in the war, like they appear in the HLC database. However, for the sake of argument, I have separated police officers and civilians on this list.

189. Ajet Krujeziu, of Suva Reka, found in Kramovic, Orahovac, by the Djakovica-Klina road, 11 3 99. WNot in the HLC database, but Ajet has been added as a possible victim with Kosovo Chronology as the source.

190. Vebi Miljazimi, of Velekince, Gnjlane, killed at his home with his dog, 11 3 99. WHLC: Vehbi Milazimi, 1936-11-26, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-10 in Velekince/VelekincëGnjilane/Gjilan.

NOTE: There is a month difference in the dates in Kosovo Chronology and in the HLC, but the village is correct, and this is probably correct. In his lists, Martinsen found Vehbi’s son Halit that was killed nine days earlier.

191. Nedjat Miftari, 1974, of Majance, Podujevo, killed by explosive device placed in garbage container at the farmers market in Podujevo, 13 3 99. 3 dead, 14 severely injured, 9 lightly injured. WHLC: Nexhat Miftari, 1974-09-25, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-13 in Podujevo/Podujevë.

NOTE: according to the Kosovo Chronicle, three Albanians died in that bomb blast on the farmer’s market, but according to the HLC, five Albanians died that day in Podujevo. Martinsen found two of them, see below for Besnik Shabani in the names found by Martinsen. Immediately below you will find the third Albanian Martinsen did not find, but the question is if Arif died in the bomb blast or in another incident.

193. Arif Gashi, 1943-04-14, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-13 in Podujevo/Podujevë.

Kosovo Chronology writes about Kumrija Pajaziti, F, 1973, Goran,of Ljuboviste, Dragas, 5 5 99 arrived in Prizren from Belgrade, where she had gone for medical treatment. On 7 3 99 Kumrija called her sister in Novi Sad, explaining that on the way from the bus station, walking along with two Serb women met on the bus, they had all been been arrested. She said that since she was a Moslem her jailers had promised to free her on March 15. On March 13 Kumrija again called her sister. No information is available about her fate or the name of the Serb women disappeared with her.

NOTE: HLC investigated the case, and Kumrija is alive

208. Osman Nuhaj, 1929, from Gornje Nerodimlje, Urosevac, found with Nuhaj Belim, Nuhaj Bajram, and unidentified person, near Srpski Babus, by Urosevac-Pristina road, 3 27 99. WHLC: Osman Nuhaj, 1929-05-10, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-26 in Gornje Nerodimlje/Nerodtd e E, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

Pristina road, 3 27 99. WHLC: Bajram Nuhaj, 1977-05-23, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-26 in Gornje Nerodimlje/Nerodtd e E, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

And since HLC also has a fourth member of the Nuhaj family, killed on the same day, in the same village, I am also including Agron:

211. Agron Nuhaj, 1980-02-17, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-26 in Gornje Nerodimlje/Nerodtd e E, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

212. Nenad Stojkovic, 1972, of Zemum, driver for Russian journalists Aleksandar Andrejevic and Sergei Patnikov, shot and killed in Lebane, Pristina, on Pristina-Nis road, 28 3 99. WHLC: Nenad Stojković, 1972-11-28, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-03-28 in Lebane/Lebanë, Priština/Prishtinë.

213. Magbulje Siljka, F, 1972, detained in Orahovac, with Usini Aferdita,, 12 4 99. Body found 13 4 99 near Orahovac. W utside the house lay an unidentified body. WHLC: Magbule Spahiu, 1972-02-14, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-01 in Orahovac/Rahovec.Note: Martinsen found Aferdita, se below.

214. Sucerija Elisani, 1937, found with two other bodies in Pecane, Suva Reka, 3 3 99. WHLC: Shyqerije Kuqi, 1937-04-26, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-03-25 in Pećane/Peqan, Suva Reka/Suharekë.

There are different sources about the name of Shyqerije. Some of them say that her last name is Elshani, and others say she is Kuqi. In the HLC database, I cannot find anyone with the name Elisani. Probably the correct spelling is Elshani, but in February 1999 until March 25, I did not find any Elshani in the HLC database either. I also checked for matching entries in April, but I could not find any. However, after March 25 until March 31, the HLC recorded 31 murders and disappearances from people with the last name Elshani. The west knew that this could happen if we pulled out the KVM observers and declared war against Yugoslavia. Of course, Serbian security forces and paramilitaries have to carry the complete responsibility for their atrocities, but we do have a moral responsibility for escalating the war with our bombs and failure to protect innocent civilians.

215. Slobodan Petkov, 1969, of Zlidov, Bosilegrad, killed in Pecane, Suva Reka. h11.00, 4 4 99. WHLC: Slobodan Petkov, 1969-06-10, Serbian policeman, killed 1999-04-04 in Pećane/Peqan, Suva Reka/Suharekë.Note: while Kosovo Chronology does not write about Slobodan’s profession as a policeman, but as discussed several places in this document, Martinsen makes a

serious error when he does not include murdered police officers.

216. Ali Tanusaj, 1951,of Karasindjerdj, killed in Cakai quarter of Karasindjerdji, Prizren, with Malakaj Ibrahim and two others, 5 4 99. WHLC: Ali Tanushi, 1951-07-20, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-02 in Karašinđerđ/Karashëngjergj, Prizren.

217. Ibrahim Malakaj, 1951,of Karasindjerdj, killed in Cakai quarter of Karasindjerdji, Prizren, with Tanusaj Ali, and two others, 5 4 99. WHLC: Ibrahim Mallaku, 1951-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-02 in Karašinđerđ/Karashëngjergj, Prizren.

NOTE: Martinsen has Ibrahim Mallaku, killed on the same day on April 2, but he has no date of birth, and the place of the murder is Đakovica, not Prizren. Since he did not find any of the peple he was killed with, I am including him on this list.

218. NN KARASINDJERDJ A, killed in Cakai quarter of Karasindjerdji, Prizren, with Tanusaj Ali, Malakaj Ibrahim and another person, 5 4 99. WHLC: Agron Cakaj, 1976-12-08, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-02 in Karašinđerđ/Karashëngjergj, Prizren.

219. NN KARASINDJERDJ B, killed in Cakai quarter of Karasindjerdji, Prizren, with Tanusaj Ali, Malakaj Ibrahim and another person, 5 4 99. WHLC: Masar Cakaj, 1978-05-25, Albanian civilian, killed 1999-04-02 in Karašinđerđ/Karashëngjergj, Prizren.

220. Liuljzim Pozegu, 1963, of Djakovica, killed on Djakovica-Prizren road, 8 4 99. WHLC: Lulëzim Pozhegu, 1963-05-25, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-04-02 in Đakovica/Gjakovë.

221. Gzim Visaj, 1966, found in Djakovica, 8 4 99. WHLC: Gëzim Vishaj, 1966-08-06, Albanian soldier, killed 1999-04-02 in Đakovica/Gjakovë.

222. Stalja Nusic, 1961, killed in attack on Ponovljane, Suva Reka, 13 4 99. WHLC: Staja Nisić, 1961-01-10, Serbian soldier, killed 1999-04-12 in Popovljane/Potdan, Suva Reka/Suharekë.

223. Dragan Pavlovic, 1969, probably an armed civilian, killed in action near Petrastica, Stimlje, 15 4 99. WHLC: Dragan Pavlović, 1968-11-23, Serbian policeman, killed 1999-04-15 in Petraštica/Pjetërshticë, Štimlje/Shttd.

This is yet another example of the importance of having lists with all names. According to the HLC, Dragan was a regular police officer, but was he an armed

civilian?

224. Zoran Garic, 1963, from Dobric, Djakovica, shot and killed in Sivjane, Djakovica, 24 4 99. WHLC: Zoran Garić, 1963-12-16, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-04-25 in Skivjane/Skivjan, Đakovica/Gjakovë.

226. Jasna Tasic, 1985, from Zojic, Prizren, shot in village of Medvec, Prizren with her brother Dalibor, by uniformed man who was their neighbor, 29 4 99 WHLC: Jasna Tasić, 1983-05-07, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-04-29 in Medvece/Medvec, Prizren.

227. Dalibor Tasic, 1982, from Zojic, Prizren, shot in the stomach by uniformed man who was his neighbor, 29 4 99. WDid Dalibor survive? HLC found six killings and five disappearances with Serbs names Tasić, but Dalibor is not among them.

228. Vujadin Dimovic, 1951, in Kosutovo, Mitrovica, killed 12 5 99. WHLC: Vujadin Dimović, 1951-02-11, Serbian, status in the war unknown, killed 1999-05-12 in Košutovo/Koshutovë, Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

229. Bozidarka Markovic, F, killed on the Mitrovica-Rosaje road, 16 5 99. WHLC: Božidarka Marković, 1944-01-10, Serbian soldier, killed 1999-05-16 in Kosovo/Kosovë.

230. Milisav Vasovic, shot dead while on his tractor in Dubovo, Istok, 19 5 99. WHLC: Milisav Vasović, 1948-05-10, Serbian soldier, killed 1999-05-19 in Malo Dubovo/Dubovë e Vogël, Istok/Istog.But why would a Serbian soldier drive around on his tractor?

231. Dragoljub Jovanovic from Podgorica killed on Pec-Pristina road. Slavica Cukic, from Glavicica, Pec, was lightly wounded. 29 5 99. WHLC: Dragoljub Jovanović, 1943-09-12, Serbian civilian, killed 1999-05-29 in Jablanica/Jabllanicë, Peć/Pejë.

232. Donko Kapetanovic, from Pristina, driving Podujevo-Pristina bus, shot and killed in Besinje, Pristina. Four passengers received light injuries, Ergiment Djindji was seriously injured, 5 6 99.

237. Stojmen Dimitrijevski, 1931, Macedonian citizen, killed with Georgi Stefanov, 1951, in attack on car with Macedonian plates, on Urosevac-Djeneral Jankovic road. WHLC: Stojmen Dimitrijevski, 1931-01-01, Macedonian civilian, killed 1999-06-10 in Kačanik/Kaçanik.

In addition to the Kosovo Chronology freerepublic.com, HLC has several names not included in Martinsen’s lists. I will not take the task of double checking all names on the HLC list against Martinsen’s list, but let us for instants take those with the last name Đordjević.

In his lists, Martinsen has 10 people with the last name Djordjevic, as you see listed below. On the other hand, HLC has 40 people with the last name Đordjević, 15 of these categorized as civilians, nine with unknown status in the war. After Martinsen’s names, I have therefore continued the list of people not listed by Martinsen. He is nowhere close to having a “close to a complete record of civilian victims.”

1. Ratko Đorđević, 1958-11-05 Serbian civilian, killed 1999-05-02 in Kačanik/Kaçanik

Murders and kidnappings in 2000The first indication that Martinsen’s lists were incomplete was when I discovered that he did not include two Serbs killed in a terrorist attack against a UNHCR bus from Kosovska Mitrovica to Peć. This happened on my birthday on Feb. 2, 2000 when I was serving as a press officer in the Coalition Press and Information Center in Priština.

I visited the crime scene the day after, and I saw the remains and blood of Budimir and Plana who were killed when terrorists hit the bus with a rocket propelled grenade. The bus was under protection by French KFOR, but the terrorists were able to escape because they were firing the rockets from a mine field, and the French soldiers could not pursue them. These are their records from the HLC:

252. Plana Rajković, 1946-01-01, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-02-02 in Čubrelj/Çubrel, Srbica/Skënderaj.

253. Budimir Jovanović, 1938-12-30, Serbian, civilian, killed 2000-02-02 in Čubrelj/Çubrel, Srbica/Skënderaj.

But since a lot of people were killed and disappeared on my watch, I am also including those incidences from the HLC database from my time in KFOR in 2000. These are names that Martinsen did not include in his lists. I have also included one Serbian and one Albanian police officer working for the newly formed Kosovo Police Service.

Here I have a big problem with the HLC definition of soldiers. After KFOR took over control of Kosovo according to United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244, there were no other legal army than KFOR. You had the

civilian Kosovo Protection Corps, but they were not soldiers. However, two Serb soldiers were listed. Were they parts of Vojska Jugoslavija on some mission in Kosovo? Altogether, there were 16 soldiers being killed in 2000,

seven with nationality unknown but with Albanian names and seven classified as ethnic Albanians. Since their status is very disputable, I am including these 16 people in the list below.

In the month of May 2000, HLC recorded 16 murders and one disappearance while Martinsen recorded 50 names, the non-Albanian name, Hajdar Vuković, and the rest Albanian. Of the 17 names on the HLC list, only one corresponds with Martinsen’s names:

1. Ejup Morina, 1953-07-25, Albanian civilian, disappeared 2000-05-31 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

But what happened to Ejup? Was he taken hostage and sold for his organs? In any case, there is good reason to question what kind of methods Martinsen has been using to find his names.

June 2000

354. Gjevrije Hamidi, 1930-06-28, nationality unknown, status in war unknown, killed 2000-06-01 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

355. Levterka Mirković, 1935-01-01, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-06-01 in Klokot/Kllokot, Vitina/Viti.

356. Avdo Nikočević, 1935-01-01, Bosniak civilian, killed 2000-06-01 in Rastavica/Rastavicë, Dečani/Deçan.

357. Zaim Nikočević, 1937-01-01, Bosniak civilian, killed 2000-06-01 in Rastavica/Rastavicë, Dečani/Deçan.

358. Ahmet Krasniqi, 1967-09-30, Albanian soldier (!!!) killed 2000-06-06 in Mališevo/Malishevë.

359. Miodrag Tomić, 1940-04-02, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-06-07 in Babin Most/Babimoc, Obilić/Obiliq.

360. Baki Behrami, 1982-04-01, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-06-11 in Krligate/Kërligatë, Zubin Potok/Zubin Potok.

361. Xhafer Behrami, 1954-07-02, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-06-11 in Krligate/Kërligatë, Zubin Potok/Zubin Potok.

Serbian security forces pulled out of Kosovo from June 12, 1999, and after these dates, the vast majority of Albanian victims of war were klled by fellow Albanians. However, Baki and Xhafer could be exceptions because Zubin Potok is a municipality close to the northern provincial border to Serbia. They could very well have been killed by Serbians.

362. Borko Filipović, 1975-04-10, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-06-15 in Gornje Dobrevo/Miradi e Epërme, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

363. Zlatibor Denić, 1962-01-14, Serbian policeman, killed 2000-06-15 in Gornje Dobrevo/Miradi e Epërme, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

364. Hysni Dautaj, 1976-05-08, Albanian soldier (!!!) killed 2000-06-17 in Gornji Crnobreg/Carrabreg i Ep, Dečani/Deçan.

365. Sead Murić, 1981-01-01, Bosniak civilian, killed 2000-06-20 in Peć/Pejë.366. Božidar Markočević, 1942-01-01, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-06-23 in

Sušiće/Sushicë, Štrpce/Shtërpcë.367. Berat Mušović, 1976-04-13, nationality and status in war unknown, killed

2000-06-27 in Đakovica/Gjakovë.

In the month of June, 2000, HLC recorded 15 murders and two disappearances. On the other hand, Martinsen has 146 names on his list, with only three of these found on the HLC list. I was there in this period, and I would have heard about murders at this scale. However, the vast majority of these names are Albanians, and if Martinsen’s list would be correct, this seems to indicate massive crimes committed by Albanians against Albanians. None of the Albanians killed in this period were killed in areas dominated by Serbs, but there is reason to question Martinsen’s methodology and how he collected his names. These three names correspond with Martinsen’s list:

1. Stojan Simić, 1926-01-01, Serbian civilian, disappeared 2000-06-02 in Mojstir, Istok/Istog

2. Velimir Simić, 1956-01-01, Serbian civilian, disappeared 2000-06-02 in Mojstir, Istok/Istog

3. Tomislav Marković, 1946-07-31, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-06-24 in Livadica/Livadicë, Podujevo/Podujevë.

368. Siniša Dimić, 1965-12-15, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-07-02 in Ugljare/Uglarë, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

369. Vlastimir Mirić, 1951-12-02, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-07-02 in Ugljare/Uglarë, Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

370. Sava Stojković, no date of birth, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-07-02 in Gornji Livoč/Livoç i Epërm, Gnjilane/Gjilan.

371. Cene Luta, 1950-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-07-16 in Radoste/Malësi e Vogël, Orahovac/Rahovec.

372. Shaban Manaj, 1955-03-30, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-07-23 in Istok/Istog.

In the month of July, HLC recorded six murders while Martinsen has 65 names, also the vast majority Albanians, on his list, and Martinsen found only one of the six from Martinsen’s list:

1. Trifun Velikić, 1926-02-12, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-07-29 in Orahovac/Rahovec.

August 2000

373. Milorad Milić, 1937-02-21, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-08-05 in Skulanevo/Skulanovë, Lipljan/Lipjan.

375. Ismajl Haliti, 1986-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-08-08 in Jezerce/Jezerc, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

376. GANtdTA Salihu, 1948-04-18, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-08-08 in Dragaš/Dragash. (The first name is misformatted in the HLC database)

377. Milutin Bogdanović, 1936-03-17, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-08-12 in Kriljevo/Krilevë, Kosovska Kamenica/Kamenicë.

378. Taska Bogdanović, 1936-11-28, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-08-12 in Kriljevo/Krilevë, Kosovska Kamenica/Kamenicë.

379. Dosta Slavković, 1927-11-13, Serbian civilian, disappeared 2000-08-12 in Prizren.

380. Goran Stanković, 1981-02-17, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-08-12 in Odanovce/Hodonoc, Kosovska Kamenica/Kamenicë.

381. Zoran Tomić, 1970-07-24, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-08-12 in Odanovce/Hodonoc, Kosovska Kamenica/Kamenicë.

382. Nikola Stojković, 1960-05-16, Serbian soldier (!!!), killed 2000-08-24 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

383. Lush Morina, 1942-01-22, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-08-26 in Landovica/Landovicë, Prizren.

386. Melihate Rama, 1969-04-08, ethnicity unknown, soldier (!!!), killed 2000-08-31 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

Again we see a worrying pattern in Martinsen’s names. In the month of August, the HLC documented 13 murders and two disappearances. On the other hand Martinsen has 145 names on his list, again with the vast majority Albanian names, and he found only one of the 15 from the HLC database:

1. Nenad Lazić, 1979-05-24, ethnicity and status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-08-12 in Kosovo Polje/Fushë Kosovë.

September 2000

387. Shefki Popova, no date of birth, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-09-01 in Kosovo/Kosovë.

388. Marjan Melonaši, 1976-07-03, Yugoslav civilian, disappeared 2000-09-06 in Priština/Prishtinë.

389. Rexhep Luqi, no date of birth, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-09-12 in Priština/Prishtinë.

390. Vojin Belošević, 1925-09-01, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-09-13 in Crkolez/Cërkolez, Istok/Istog.

391. Milijana Stojanović, 1956-02-07, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-09-13 in Kosovska Kamenica/Kamenicë.

392. Selim Broshi, 1938-01-01, Albanian civilian, killed 2000-09-14 Priština/Prishtinë.

393. Skender Gashi, 1972-08-02, Albanian soldier (!!!), killed 2000-09-17 Sopnić/Sapniq, Orahovac/Rahovec.

394. Stanko Kovačević, 1933-08-25, Serbian, ethnicity unknown, killed 2000-09-17 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

395. Zoran Vranešević, 1962-06-17, Serbian civilian, disappeared 2000-09-25 in Priština/Prishtinë.

In the month of September, HLC has seven murders and two disappearances while Martinsen has 101 names on his list. None of the names from HLC correspond with Martinsen’s list. Note that for many of the Albanian names there are very sketchy details about them, no date of birth and just killed in Kosovo with no specific place of the crime.

October 2000

396. Eset Ibishi, 1969-06-09, ethnicity unknown, soldier (!!!), killed 2000-10-01 in Gornji Suvi Do/Suhodolli i Epë, Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

397. Ahmet Voca, no date of birth, Albanian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-10-01 in Kosovo/Kosovë.

398. Petko Ivković, 1937-08-05, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-10-03 in Vrbeštica/Vërbeshticë, Štrpce/Shtërpcë.

399. Hatixhe Baftiu, 1980-01-01, Albanian, status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-10-06 in Lipljan/Lipjan.

400. Ljubinko Anđelković, 1942-02-20, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-10-15 in Janina Voda, Obilić/Obiliq.

401. Radosav Ognjanović, 1960-09-10, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-10-15 in Janina Voda, Obilić/Obiliq.

402. Živorad Milojević,1934-06-03, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-10-19 in Miroče/Miraçë, Vučitrn/Vushtrri.

In October, HLC has six murders, one disappearance while Martinsen has 38; none of these correspond with the HLC list. While the HLC numbers seem relatively stable, Martinsen’s names have started to decrease. What is the reason for this?

November 2000

403. Stevan Tomašević, 1981-04-07, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-11-01 in Suvo Grlo/Syriganë, Srbica/Skënderaj.

404. Zehra Karalić, 1957-06-08, Bosniak civilian, killed 2000-11-07 in Vitomirica/Vitomiricë, Peć/Pejë.

405. Hajzer Ahmeti, 1968-01-01, Ashkali civilian, killed 2000-11-09 in Doševac/Dashec, Srbica/Skënderaj.

406. Hajzer Ibush, 1972-01-01, Ashkali civilian, killed 2000-11-09 in Doševac/Dashec, Srbica/Skënderaj.

407. Istref Bajrami, 1968-01-01, Ashkali civilian, killed 2000-11-09 in Doševac/Dashec, Srbica/Skënderaj.

408. Agron Mehmeti, 1983-01-01, Ashkali civilian, killed 2000-11-09 in Doševac/Dashec, Srbica/Skënderaj.

409. Emrah Hasani, 1987-01-01, Ashkali civilian, killed 2000-11-11 in Uroševac/Ferizaj.

410. Vojin Kovačević, no date of birth, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-11-17 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

411. Xhemajl Mustafa, 1954-01-01, Albanian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-11-23 in Priština/Prishtinë.

In November, HLC recorded nine murders and one disappearance, but in this month, Martinsen’s numbers are drastically reduced with five names on his list, and one name corresponding from the HLC list:

1. Isen Ferati, 1956-06-15, Albanian, status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-11-23 in Priština/Prishtinë.

December 2000

412. Srđan Tomašević, 1981-02-09, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-12-11 in Suvo Grlo/Syriganë, Srbica/Skënderaj.

413. Milosav Krstić, 1950-07-15, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-12-13 in Vitina/Viti.

414. Bojan Joković, 1980-06-13, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-12-16 in Leposavić/Leposaviq.

415. Milan Kostić, 1980-01-01, ethnicity and status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-24 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

416. Goran Miljković, 1979-01-01, ethnicity and status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-24 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

417. Milisav Miljković, 1978-01-01, ethnicity and status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-24 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

418. Saša Pešić, 1980-01-01, ethnicity and status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-24 in Gnjilane/Gjilan.

What was the faith of the four young men mentioned above? They have very Serbian names, but their ethnicity is nonetheless unknown. There is no specific date of birth, except for the year they were born, just marked with 01-01 as you do in the cases where you are not sure about the date. Are they alive today, or have they been traded for organs?

419. Adevije Ahmeti, 1970-01-01, Albanian, status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-25 in Brut/Brrut, Dragaš/Dragash.

420. Dragan Rapadić, 1932-02-10, Serbian civilian, killed 2000-12-29 in Obilić/Obiliq.

421. Haki Zyber, 1952-01-01, Albanian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-12-30 in Sojevo/Sojevë, Uroševac/Ferizaj.

422. Dragoljub Simić, 1941-12-03, Serbian, status in war unknown, killed 2000-12-31 in Donja Budriga/Budrikë e Posht., Gnjilane/Gjilan.

In December, HLC recorded six murders and six disappearances while Martinsen had five names on his list. One person corresponded with the HLC list:

1. Syle Sadiku, 1938-01-01, Albanian, status in war unknown, disappeared 2000-12-07 in Kosovska Mitrovica/Mitrovicë.

Summary 2000In the year of 2000, HLC recorded 195 murders and disappearances/kidnappings, 60 of these Albanians. On the other hand, Martinsen has 603 names on his list for 2000, the vast majority Albanian names and as far as I can count, he has only 38 non-Albanian names.

What is more worrying is that only 21 of Martinsen’s names correspond with the HLC database. This means that we have no way of verifying 582 names that Martinsen has listed for the year 2000, and he has failed to record 174 murders and kidnappings in 2000.

In the document sorryserbia.com/files/kahrsedits.xls I have marked those 21 names that correspond with both the lists of both Martinsen and the HLC with yellow in the tab Supplm.doc no.3, and I have also added non Serbian names in three tabs to the right.

One explanation for this serious error could be that Martinsen has included the dates the bodies were found, not the date of the event, but then this should be specified.

Unfortunately, there is therefore no other conclusion than to say that Martinsen’s lists are worthless, and they should not be called documentation. His interviews has some value, but his lists of names add much more confusion than clarification about who died in Kosovo and why.

Niš ekspres, Feb. 16, 2001Since Martinsen claims to have complete lists until 2009, I should also write about a very important date in my life, and he did not record 12 terrorist murders on Serbian civilians. Feb. 16. 2001 was one of the most dramatic days in my life. Albanian terrorists were waiting with an Improvised Explosive Device outside Podujevo in Kosovo on the provincial border crossing Merdare to Serbia. The bomb killed 12 people, including little Danilo, 2 years old, together with both his parents. I was at the bombing site hour and a half after the blast.

There is credible circumstantial evidence which points to the responsibily for the crime that Florim Ejupi was the leader of the terrorists who were waiting by the road. There is also credible circumstantial evidence to suggest that Ejupi was an asset of the CIA to destabilize Serbia, also after the fall of Slobodan Milošević.

Ejupi was later sentenced to 40 years in prison, but he was soon released because of “lack of evidence.” But then he was also working for the CIA, and he managed to “escape” from US Army base Bondsteel…. This was the day I started wondering if we did the right thing when we went to war against Yugoslavia. To this day, I still remember the smell, body parts and blood, and you can see the pictures here. The three first three pictures are mine, and the rest are the pictures from the investigation. Thank you to Gorica Sćepanović for providing them. But a warning: these pictures are very graphic. Do NOT open them if you are not up for it. Let us never forget the victims and never give up the fight for justice.

Due To The Wounds 434. N. Tokić – Zivana's husband, died two months later due to the injuries in

the bomb attack.

The attack on the Niš ekspres is also important to understand the wider context in which NATO, KFOR and the international community operated. Especially American intelligence services actively used Albanian armed groups to destabilize the democratically elected government in Belgrade.

In my article US destabilizing Serbia with Albanian guerrillas, I give a lot of details about this, and it is well worth repeating some of what I wrote then.

After KFOR and the so-called International Community took control of Kosovo from June 12 1999, we allowed and supported Albanian guerrillas, call them terrorists if you like, to destabilize Serbia. In this article, I will take you on a journey through my personal experiences and encounters with these rebels as a journalist.

It is also likely that the rebel movement UÇPMB, the so-called Liberation Army of Preševo, Medveđa and Bujanovac, received US-style infantry training to fight the Serbs after June 12, 1999 when hostilities between NATO and Yugoslavia should have seized according to the Military Techn ical Agreement .

Together with my old colleague John Phillips, the former Balkan correspondent for The Times of London, we had many interesting experiences together covering the conflict in South Serbia and Macedonia in 2001. In his book Macedonia warlords and rebels in the Balkans, he wrote the following on page 2:

“American intelligence was active in Serbia and Kosovo but its operatives were evidently struggling to come to terms with the new era ushered in by the demise of Milošević’s brutal regime. An ethnic Albanian arrested by British troops for a bomb attack on a busload of Serb civilians in northern Kosovo, Florim Ejupi, was identified credibly as a CIA-trained agent months later after he vanished from American custody, for example.”

In his book, Phillips also mentions the British officer Bob Churcher of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst who observed in his paper Kosovo Lindore Preshevo 1991-2002 & The FYROM Conflict that the UÇPMB:

“also seem to have received training assistance from someone or some organisation training in an American military style. This became apparent both from the style of marching, complete with US-type marching songs, and the infantry tactics used. (The effectiveness of this was seen in November 2000 when a series of well coordinated infantry attacks demonstrated the UÇPMB’s ability to coordinate the use of 82mm mortars and to effectively “re-organise on the objective” -something that the Bosnian army never learnt in three years.)”

Whether the US support for the UÇPMB was direct or indirect through a company like the MPRI or similar, I do not know. However, I have very intresting revelations from the lead investigator of the terrorist attack. Joe McAlister, a police officer from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police was very frustrated that the military and intelligence services sabotaged their investigation. This is what he wrote in an email to me:

Hi Kristian

I haven't read the noted articles and book yet but I will take a chance to do that. As to the comments on the US link UCPMB I really can't comment on that to be honest. I have no direct evidence linking them to this organization and although we heard various rumours I think it would be inappropriate to make the leap given my position

I can comment on Florim's “escape” as I was deeply involved in the interrogation process and investigation of that file.

I'm not sure how much you know about the arrest and investigation of the file but there is a lot that is likely not known but should be.

1.  The UN Intel team at Pristina had a confidential source inside the cell that was operating in Kosovo. They knew pretty much the plans of what the cell wanted to do and even how they wanted to do it but not always the "when" they wanted to do it.    On the NIS bus bombing it was known in advance they were going to target a bus, use a bomb in a culvert and target Serbs.   In fact this is why the convoy was so heavily protected.   There was a Brit team out ahead of the convoy searching the route for IEDs and before they were finished they were notified the convoy was rolling.  They tried  to stop the convoy telling them they had not finished the search area but the convoy rolled on and we all know what happened. 

2.  The crime scene was managed by the military and because of political pressure and people who just don't know crime scenes it was poorly handled.  In fact they  paved over the bomb blast within 48 hours which is insane as any good cop knows.   I held the blast scene in Pristina for 3 days as that was my case, that caught the German for doing that one.    So we likely lost a lot of good evidence.

3.  The intel team via KFOR went out and arrested all the suspects on the case and held them and interrogated them "military style" for over 12 hours before they turned them over to us, the Homicide squad who had primacy of the investigation.   As we were planning our interview strategy all the suspects were suddenly moved to camp Bondsteel for security reasons that were never really explained but someone stated they

thought if they were in Pristina it could bring on an attack.   maybe but fairly lame in our opinion.

4.  Our first visit to Bonsteel we were denied access to the prison and prisoners for no reason. We were just told we were not allowed in.   period.    

Of course then Florim "escaped".   The explanation we were given is his wife brought him a cake or pie and it must have held wire cutters inside it.    Florim, wearing a bright orange jump suit, managed to find the only "blind spot" on the fence line that the guards could not see.   he managed to get out of a camp that is fairly large, the prison being in the middle almost, without being detected.    And to top it all off, when we got in we were told the entire guard staff was "transfered" back home for incompetence.  

You can imagine how ballistic we all went.   Florim was the only one we had direct evidence on.  His DNA was on a cigarette butt found at the Point of Origin.  it was in a tree stump where the initiation was. 

There were a lot of theories about why it happened and of course it was linked to CIA and that he was an informant.  I never/never got confirmation from anyone on that but the Brits on the Intel team, as well as the Germans were all very suspicious of the American side after that.  

I also found the 4th suspect on the NIS bus bombing and had brought him in for an interview.  However after that article I was “transferred”" off the homicide squad and the case.  Interestingly the case had gone quiet after the escape of Florim and the French Officer who was leading it left the mission.  NO ONE was working on it, no one cared except me. I knew it was linked to my case so when I took it over and started to reinvestigate it I got lots of intel from the Intel team but someone up high I think felt I was getting too close.   I had a separate informant myself who was starting to provide information when I was removed from the case and it was given to..... Americans to follow up. 

End of the day, the military completely interfered and messed up this case with complicity from someone. 

If you need more info let me know

Riots in Kosovo 2004In addition to these, at least 19 people died in the riots on March 17 and 18 2004. According to the OSCE, 11 Kosovo Albanians and eight Serbs died in these attacks.

Two of these were killed by a Norwegian officer who did excellent marksmanship with his Glock 9mm pistol when Albanian rioters tried to break into the Serbian enclave of Čaglavica just south of Priština. A Norwegian army issue Glock has 17 bullets in the magazine.

The officer, Svenn as I call him, was standing in the first line of defense; with a shield in his left hand and his pistol in his right hand he fired nine bullets into the driver’s cabin of the truck. He could see the driver shaking and falling over, and the truck drove into the ditch. Then the brother of the driver came from under the truck to attack the Norwegian soldiers. Svenn put two bullets in his chest, and he was pulled away by other 10,000 man strong Albanian mob that was attacking Čaglavica.

The number of 19 dead is probably too low because a 22 ton Norwegian armored personnel carrier run over several Albanians trying to block the vehicle enroute from the Norwegian camp in Lebane to Čaglavica to protect the Serbs there. Svenn gave the order to the driver of the lead vehicle run over the mob to be able to get to Čaglavica in time to save the village.

Even if we should always regret when lives are lost, Svenn makes me feel better about my time in KFOR because he is a Norwegian officer who did his job. I came to Kosovo as a naïve dreamer coming to teach these Balkan savages something about democracy, freedom of speech and how to be a developed country, but Svenn risked his life to protect civilians. I have had the chance to thank Svenn for his heroism, and he also received a medal for his leadership in these dramatic days.

344 police officers in 1998 and 1999Above, I have listed one Serbian and one Albanian police officer killed in 2000, and they were probably parts of the newly formed Kosovo Police Service, and in Kosovo Chronology 126 police officers are listed until March 24, 1999. Since the police officers from the interior ministry MUP were the only legal police authority until the international community took over from June 12. Therefore, Martinsen made a serious error when he did not include police officers in his lists.

Combined with the 126 police officers from Kosovo Chronology, HLC has recorded 324 police officers killed and 20 disappeared in 1998 and 1999. Of these 344 police officers, there were 11 Albanian policemen, one Roma and one Egyptian.

On June 16, it must have been very chaotic in Uroševac when police officer Musi Avdi was killed. Maybe he thought he could stay behind to protect his property and family? But he was killed.

Later, on July 2, Albanian police officer Ndue Qupi, 1945-10-04, disappeared from the village of Fšaj in Đakovica, and Kemal Shabani, 1959-09-28, was killed in Priština on July 16.
