Question

Describe the ethnic massacre in Kosovo.

Answer 1

On May 14, 1999, during NATO’s air campaign against Yugoslavia, Serbian security forces descended on the small village of Cuska in western Kosovo. The armed men rounded up the villagers, all ethnic Albanians, killing some and demanding money and valuables from the rest.

A series of war crimes were committed during the Kosovo War (early 1998 – 11 June 1999). The forces of the Slobodan Milošević regime, killed many Albanian civilians and expelled them during the war, alongside the widespread destruction of civilian, cultural and religious property.
