"I hope he was dead, not alive," says Ibush Berisha whenever he talks about his son who disappeared in the 1998-99 war.
The daughter, the son, the wife, the mother... all dead. They searched for Besnik everywhere for 25 years, but there were no results.
The seventy-year-old from Bardhi i Madh recounts through tears the terrible night of April 18, 1999.


In an interview with KosovaPress, he tells how Serbian military forces had expelled them from their homes, ordering them to head towards Albania.
He will never forget the sad images of barefoot and naked children.

“Until the evening we couldn’t go to the border, the queue was so long. Not only us, but all of Kosovo. It was raining heavily. There I saw people barefoot, naked. It was terrible. Children, women, coming through the rain…”, he recounts.
