Report of Bodies Hidden in Danube in '99
By REUTERS
B ELGRADE, Serbia, May 9 Serbian police officials said today that they
were investigating the reported discovery of 50 bodies in a submerged
truck that had been dumped into the Danube during NATO's 1999 bombing
of Yugoslavia.
The case has received wide coverage in Belgrade news media since a
little-known publication in eastern Serbia specializing in crime
reported last month on the discover.
A local human rights group, saying there were reliable indications
that Serbian forces destroyed evidence of crimes against Kosovo
Albanians during the war, drew attention this month to the report in
the Timocka Krimi Revija and demanded an investigation.
Western governments and human rights groups have charged Serbian
police and the Yugoslav Army, then under the control of Slobodan
Milosevic, with widespread atrocities against ethnic Albanians during
the 1998-99 Kosovo conflict.
The Red Cross office in Kosovo said earlier this year that about 3,500
Kosovo residents, mainly ethnic Albanians, were still missing.
The Timocka Krimi Revija said the 50 bodies were found near the
eastern Serbian village of Tekija.

chairman of the LDK branch in Klina, was killed in
front of his house
in Klina.
On April 30, Sasha Dobiq (18) was killed in the
vicinity of
the green market in Vitia. Unidentified persons opened
fire at him
from a moving "Lada" car. Mehmet Shusha from the

groups of Serbs
blocked the road between Vitia and Kllokot. The
protesters assaulted
passers-by. A car was destroyed (a woman and her three
children, who
were inside the car, suffered body injuries). The
incident did not
escalate thanks to the timely intervention of the UNMIK
police and
KFOR soldiers.
Disappearances and kidnappings
PRISHTINA: According to Dean Olson, the
spokesman of the
UNMIK police, a group of 8 masked persons tried to
abduct 3 children

On April 23, an Albanian from Prishtina was

prison.
On April 26, Isa Axhanela and Luan Xheka from
Gjakova were
released from the prison in Nish. Avdi Hyseni from the
village of
Popoc near Gjakova and an Albanian from Besiana were
released from
the prison in Zaje÷ar.
According to the ICRC, up to now, 1758
Albanians were
released from the prisons of Serbia. 278 Albanians are
still in
prison.
PRISHTINA: On April 29, Hans Haekkerup, the
SRSG in Kosova,
extended the pre-trial detention to Avdi Behluli, ×elű
Gashi and
Jusuf Veliu. The three are suspects in the attack
against the bus in
Mediana (Merdar) near Besiana on February 16, 2001.
April 25
MITROVICA: At 11 p.m., in the "Ibri" quarter, a
group of
Serbs physically ill-treated Zejnepe Ibrahim Hasani
(35) and Hylkije
Fejza (50).
April 27
MITROVICA: During the last few days, due to the
roadblocks,
which were set by the Serbs in the northern part of
Kosova, the
Albanians from the "Kodra e Minatorűve" quarter in the
northern part
of Mitrovica face many difficulties to provide food for
their
families. The inhabitants have appealed to humanitarian
organizations
for help. French soldiers have promised to help in
supplying them
with food.
KASTRIOT: A peaceful protest was held at the
Roma camp in
Analum (Plemetin). Roma from the municipalities of
Kastriot,
Prishtina, Lipjan and Skűnderaj demanded better living
conditions.
According to Bajrush Berisha, the protests were
organized as those
living in the camp were faced with famine. The
protesters dispersed
once the municipal authorities promised them that they
would do their
utmost to solve their problems and to help them return
to their homes.
April 30
MITROVICA: A number of roads in the northern
part of Kosova
are still blocked by Serbian protesters. According to
the MNBN, there
are still 5 roadblocks in this part of Kosova (3 in the
north of
Mitrovica and 2 in Zubin Potok). In the meantime, all
the barricades
were removed from the Ibri highway. KFOR and UNMIK
vehicles have no
problems to move through these roads.
BELGRADE: The Humanitarian Law Fund accused the
Serbian
Ministry of Interior Affairs and the VJ for destroying
evidence of
the crimes committed against the Albanians in Kosova
between March 24
and June 12, 1999. According to the HLF, "at least 800
corpses,
including corpses of women, children and elderly, were
exhumed and
reburied in secret locations". The evidence was
destroyed "by burning
the corpses or reburying them in secret locations".
This is what
happened to the corpses of 130 Albanians from Izbica
and 87 Albanians
from Gjakova. On the other hand, the corpses of 107
Albanians from
Krusha e Madhe (municipality of Rahovec), who were
killed on March
26, 1999, were never found. According to the HLF, on
April 6, 1999, a
refrigerator truck with 50 corpses (women, children and
elderly) was
pulled out of the Danube River in the vicinity of the
village of Teki
(municipality of Klladova (in Serbia)). The truck had
Peja number
plates. According to Zhivojin Gjorgjeviq (a
professional diver, who
helped in pulling the truck out of the river) the
corpses were loaded
to another truck and taken in the direction of Donji
Milanovac. The
Ministry of Interior Affairs, the Prosecutors Office
and the
Municipal Court in Klladova as well as the District
Court in Negotin
were informed on this case, which was declared a "state
secret". The
truck, which was pulled out of the river was taken to
Petrova and
destroyed. The witness was told not to talk about this
case.
A few days ago, the VJ began the court
proceedings against
245 soldiers, of whom 183 are accused of having
committed crimes,
which resulted in the death of civilians and the
destruction of their
property.
Presheva, Bujanoc, Medvegja
BUJANOC: On April 24, at about 10.20 p.m.,
unidentified
persons threw an explosive device in the house yard of
Hafiz Qerimi
in Bujanoc. The house windows were broken.
PRESHEVA: On April 27, at about 8.30 a.m., two
Albanians were
wounded in the vicinity of the quarry in Carravajka.

up bodies to hide them and of using a smelter to burn them, was pooh
poohed Especially the reported use of ice cream trucks to carry the
bodies was a source of scorn. Now we have serb sources saying the same
thing with physical evidence, such as one of the trucks being pulled from
the river. Now who has the laugh? All the serb misdirection propaganda
melts away, like ice cream in a truck dumped in a river. There are hands
with blood on them and just because some of them are also Orthodox hands
doesn't excuse them or provide reasons to hide our eyes and say it never
happened. Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy.

Of course there being Orthodox does not excuse them. Those that misuse
religion to evil purpose are condemned.
Still, you did not get my point which is that I would like to see a web
page containing the atrocities form both communities.
