In April 1999, the residents of the village of Nakad\u00ebr tried several times to flee the village, but were prevented by the Serbian forces. On April 21, 1999, 16 members of the Mirena family, all men between the ages of 18 and 58, were arrested. Except for one person, all the arrested males of this family were executed by the Serbian forces. The bodies of the victims were initially buried in Pomozotin, a village in the municipality of Fush\u00eb -Kosovo, while two days later they were exhumed and sent in an unknown direction. In 2006, their bodies were found in the mass grave in Batajnica, Serbia. <i>(In the photo: View from the city of Fush\u00eb-Kosovo.)<\/i>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Text:<\/strong> <i>The encyclopedic dictionary of Kosovo &#8211; Vol. II <\/i>, Academy of Sciences and Arts of Kosovo, Prishtina, 2018, page 1054\u20131055.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Photo: <\/strong>\u00a9 https:\/\/www.atdheu.com\/fushe-kosova.html&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Graphic processing: <\/strong>AHCF&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;Fush\u00eb-Kosovo Massacre&#8221; occurred in the village of Nakad\u00ebr, located in the municipality of Fush\u00eb-Kosovo, where Serbian police and army forces perpetrated violence against the Albanian civilian population.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3942,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-ngjarje"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
