Walker returns to Racak again: Amazed by the number of people

26 years ago, he was the first to tell the world that a crime against humanity was being committed in Racak.

Nearly three decades later, the then head of the OSCE Verification Mission in Kosovo, Ambassador William Walker, returns to the village that few people once knew.

After paying homage at the Memorial Complex, he said he is amazed by the large number of citizens paying homage at this complex.


“Every year, I am amazed by the number of people who come here from all over the country. It used to be mainly a memorial ceremony organized by the Municipality of Shtime, but now there are people from all over Kosovo, and I suppose from all over the world. So, thank you for covering this [event], I wish you all a very happy day, and I wish all the people of Kosovo a Happy New Year. Thank you very much,” he said.

In the early morning of January 15, 1999, children, adults and old people were brutally killed, among them an elderly woman, whose body has not yet been found.

The serious incident in Recak prompted an international response, with NATO deciding to attack Serbian military and police targets – a bombing campaign that lasted 78 days. It ended on June 10, 1999, when the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 was adopted.

After this, over 800.000 Kosovo Albanians – forcibly expelled, began to return to their homes./kp/
