Female survivors from a village where 241 ethnic Albanians were killed in 1999 said the new Hague-based Kosovo Specialist Chambers should punish the guilty, whatever their ethnicity – but Serbs must not escape justice.

Almost 20 years after the Kosovo war, female survivors still face a whole range of unresolved problems – a lack of institutional support, a lack of information about relatives who are still missing, as well as poverty and the everyday struggles endured by familes who have lost loved ones.
At recent focus group that I held with ten female survivors from the village of Krusha e Madhe/Velika Krusa in western Kosovo, where 241 of the men were killed in massacres in March 1999, some of them recalled how they rebuilt their burned-out houses with their own resources, raised fatherless children and continued to work their land themselves, having no one to ask for a helping hand.
