Twenty-seven years have passed since the horrific crime perpetrated against the people of Skenderaj. A report published by Gazeta Express on March 20, 2026, at 7:44 AM, details this tragic event. Today, the martyrs and defenders of the Skenderaj neighborhoods are remembered, marking the anniversary of their deaths on March 20, 1999.
Former Skenderaj municipal head, Bekim Jashari, has documented the events surrounding this devastating period. Following the departure of international observers from the OSCE mission, Serbian criminals engaged in systematic abuses against the local citizens. These individuals, identifiable by their white robes and black masks, began to intimidate and mistreat residents.
The actions escalated to include the forced separation of men and women, ultimately leading to their transportation to slaughterhouses where they were brutally executed. Twenty-nine civilians vanished without a trace, adding to the immense suffering endured by the people of Skenderaj. The situation highlighted the vulnerability of the citizens under Serbian occupation.
This event remains a stark reminder of the injustices faced by those in Skenderaj.
