Krusha e Madhe today remembers those killed and massacred by Serbian forces, where even women, children, and the elderly were not spared.
26 years ago, specifically from March 25 to 27, 1999, 243 people were massacred in Krusha of Rahovec by Serbian forces, and 893 private and community houses were burned.
The massacre in Krusha e Madhe is the largest massacre that took place in Kosovo during the 1998-1999 war.
Many people from Krusha e Madhe are still missing.
The massacre in Krusha e Madhe was part of the indictment for war crimes against the butcher of the Balkans, Slobodan Milošević, and several other Serbian political and military leaders.
Despite this, there was never a proper investigative process for this massacre, and no one has been directly convicted for the crimes committed in this village.
Also, today marks 26 years since the massacre of martyrs and heroes in the villages of Fortesë, Brestoc, and Celinë in the Municipality of Rahovec.
During the 1999 war, 69 martyrs were killed by Serbian forces in the village of Fortesë, 5 martyrs and 49 martyrs in Brestoc, and 75 martyrs in Celinë.
