  • The Meja massacre was the mass execution of at least 377 Kosovo Albanian civilians of whom 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 on 27 April 1999 in the village of Meja near the town of Gjakova, during the Kosovo War. 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.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.
