Kosovo accuses 35 ex-Serbian officers of 1998 massacre
The Public Prosecutor's Office in Kosovo has charged 35 former members of the Serbian police in connection with the Brajka massacre of 1998, which resulted in the deaths of around 60 civilians from the Yashari family and their relatives, including women and children. The incident occurred during a war characterized by a siege and three days of raiding operations. The legal proceedings have lasted for years and are based on evidence linking the accused to leadership positions within special police units. Most of the suspects are currently abroad, so the procedures are being conducted in absentia. This event is considered a turning point in the conflict, which resulted in the deaths of more than 13,000 people and concluded with NATO intervention and Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008, despite Serbia's lack of recognition of this independence.
