Xufe Berisha remembers a hot afternoon on June 18, 1999, the last time she saw the back of her two sons as they walked down the forest to drink water from the river with two of their neighbors.
Like much of the population had been during the NATO air campaign against Yugoslavia, the family from the village of Bec, near Gjakova, were hiding in the mountains. On that day, they were in the village of Raushiq, near Peja.
Xufe, 69, says that she still hears the shouts and echoes of guns in her ears, after which she never saw her sons return.
“We had run out of food two days earlier. In that part in Raushiq, we were in a zone between Serb forces and Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) members. My sons said they were going out to drink water. A few minutes later, we heard shouts and four shots,” she tells K2.0 in her house in Gjakova.
