The leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK), Ramush Haradinaj, paid homage at the Memorial Complex in Reçak.
On the 27th anniversary of the Reçak massacre, he said that in The Hague it is the leaders of the KLA who are being tried, not those who committed the crimes.
On January 15, 1999, Serbian forces brutally killed 45 Albanian civilians in the village of Reçak, in the municipality of Shtime.
The first to inform the world that a crime against humanity had been committed there was the then head of the OSCE Kosovo Verification Mission, William Walker. The grave events in Reçak prompted an international reaction, after which NATO decided to launch strikes against Serbian military and police targets.
