24 years ago happened the biggest massacre in the Kosovo war, 377 catholic Albanians, of which 36 were under 18, were murdered, which showed that the Kosovo war was not a religious war, but an ethnic war the goal of which was ethnic cleansing.

> The Meja massacre (Albanian: Masakra e Mejës) was the mass execution of at least 377 Kosovo Albanian civilians during the Kosovo War, which took place on 27 April 1999. Of the victims, 36 were under 18 years old. It was committed by Serbian police and Yugoslav Army forces in the Reka Operation which began after the killing of six Serbian policemen by the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA). The executions occurred in the village of Meja near the town of Gjakova. The victims were pulled from refugee convoys at a checkpoint in Meja and their families were ordered to proceed to Albania. Men and boys were separated and then executed by the road.[2][3] It is one of the largest massacres in the Kosovo War.[4] Many of the bodies of the victims were found in the Batajnica mass graves. The International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia has convicted several Serbian army and police officers for their involvement.[5]
It is so sad, this is exactly what the Nazi occupants did in the 40’s, and then 50 years later Serbians do the exact same thing…
R.I.P to the victims of Serbian genocide.
Couldn’t one person’s ethnic war also be another’s religious war? I can imagine groups had different motivations.
They will burn in hell
It wan’t just Catholic Albanians. It was men and boys. Catholic Albanian men and boys who were pulled aside separated from their families and murdered specifically because they were male.
The only real Good people that we’re caught up by the the Yugoslav wars where the victims themselves… i pray that they can finally peacefully and unharmed lives alive or up in heavens.
The horrors the Serbian forces unleashed upon innocent people during the war is nothing but a giant disgrace that should’ve been dealt with by our own judicial system. I hope there will be reparations in the future to everyone who suffered against war crimes. This includes crimes committed against our side, as well.
